While we thought we had an unbeatable strategy, it seems that you definitely need to devote at least two robots to one cause as we saw the end of our runs in the quarterfinals as the #3 seed.

Well if definitely helps when your rock doesn't have a wire come lose in the 2nd match and essentially become a rock We put up a good fight though and I still think our 2 on offense 1 on defense strategy was the correct one to go with given our alliance and robots. You guys have such a great robot, one of the top ones at BMR by far.

But in all honesty, I think Atlanta is really going to depend on the mix in the divisions. Some divisions may have so many good scoring robots that you'll see offensive powerhouse alliances. In other divisions, dominant scorers may be more rare and a great defensive robot may be needed.
