Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
One of the only things I like about serpentine draft
is the suspense in "who will be the first alliance's third pick" intensity.Then again, I shouldn't complain, if it weren't for that same serpentine draft I wouldn't even be in FRC. |

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
I agree with other users, the third pick will vary from team to team depending on scouting and strategy. As well, for some mysterious reason a team who struggled or did amazing during the regional may malfunction at Atlanta. Who really knows. It will be interesting to see who the 8 alliances are.
(but what i do know that a Newton division winner will be the champions) ![]() |

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Not to knock 1918, you guys do unload very quickly, but you really shouldn't get cocky. The other robots here are good at what they do too; don't be surprised if good defense is played against you.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
If were talking about a second round team, then your talking about a team that is pretty dang decent (they have to be to get picked at nationals) yet no one has really heard of them. Im not talking about a team that hasnt been heard of because they did crapy, you still want a team that has performed well without being noticed. Being a rookie team this year, i honestly don't plan on making it to the top eight but i dont think that team 2970 is a bad team what so ever, scoring almost all of the 117 points in the minnesota finals while 79s loader broke down would strike me as a bad team!

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
I couldn't agree more. You don't want teams coming in knowing they have to play hard defense on you. You want those few beginning matches where they don't know what to do with you yet.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
I try to keep out of the corners. Only becuase like you guys were talking about, you get trapped like a son of a gun. Not saying im never in the corner but i try to stay out of it. Good luck everyone in Atlanta.

You come in plugging your team, you make any target they do have bigger. To make matters worse (unless you are that good), divisions are MUCH tougher than regionals. If you can't back up the talk, you may set up a reputation for your team as a team that talks big and walks small. I personally would much rather have a reputation as a team that talks small (or not at all) and walks tall. Let others do the plugging for you. It works out better. |

As captain of team 2970 I would like to appologize for the posts of my fellow team members. Sometimes they let their enthusiasm run away with them.
It was thanks to team 79 that we even made it to the eliminations. We made an amazing alliance along with 2549. Go Neon alliance!!! I would also like point out that 79 didn't break during the finals. They made 3 spectacular dumps during the match. They just smushed a ball with their sheer power. That was an amazing match. I can still feel the excitement. We love you guys!!! I think that 2549 would make just as good of a 2nd pick as they did in North Star. Seriously check them out. |
