Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

I agree with you I personally think the best alliance will be one that has two really good dumper/shooter robots and one that is really good at blocking the other team.

Honestly I think this year will take a team where you will need 3 really strong scorers.

I would hope that they would be out on Tuesday (or Monday) since most teams will be traveling on all day Wednesday.

Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

I expect a successful alliance to have all 3 robots with very good shooters/dumpers.

No offense.

But those aren't really predicitions. I mean, they are INCREDIBLY broad... Seeing as every robot that is competitive is a shooter or dumper on some accord.

Noooo I won't be able to get on for the division predictions. Someone in Curie will have to let me know what has been said.

Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

Over the years, it seems as though a good alliance should be composed of three robots that are quick on offense and can play mean defense.

But behind the robots are the drivers that also need to be good and be willing to play offense and defense well and be very quick to react to unexpected plays on the field.

Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

As the season has progressed, shooters and dumpers have both done equally well. Some being better than others. My prediction is all 3 shooters, the third pick should be able to run super cells and be able to play defense while scoring.

Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

I am waiting to see what teams have gotten their crap together sense their last regional and are going to do alot better than expected.

Having 3 able dumpers with one or two really capable defensive robots seems to be working well. Great example that i can think of is 330. They scored well and then pinned amazingly well. to bad they wernt able to make it to champs..

thats my input. dont have much experience on these things though..

Re: Predictions Championship 2009: Lunacy for Lunacy

I think two good scorers and a SuperCell specialist with some scoring ability will get it done. So many people are overlooking SuperCells.
