All this apocalyptic talk of 469 and their ilk running rampant and destroying the competition is a little premature, don't you think? We've only played two weeks and seen one of these bots dominate. Perhaps we should let the game evolve a bit, first?
Agreed that this will not destroy the competition and should not be seen as an apocalypse . Loop bots will hopefully be copied enough to make finals less of a one sided scenario. Effective countermeasures may be the deciding factor with multiple loop bots in a competition.

I am excited about 469's development and feel that it will make the learning experience better by providing a few additional weeks of late stage tasks and excitement to the builders and designers to develop countermeasures within the hold-back rules and countermeasure strategies. More than anything, as Dean and Woodie keep on saying, "it is not about the bot or the game.....". It gives a more realistic glimpse of real life in the technology industry. I hope this excitement and challenge inspire more undecided students to enter the field.

My thread was started when many people were watching 469's opponents drown on You-tube and in my opinion spending far more forum space describing the water than how the drowning alliance may save themselves.

This thread content was intended mostly to provide constructive light at the end of the tunnel for teams that are about to face this type of opposing alliance in Troy and Nationals. The glass is half full. Now fill it the rest of the way.

I hope some others contribute better ideas than mine and share them with the community. I would love to see a rookie team develop the most effective countermeasure.

Frank
