2015 Champs Predictions

[King Boopington]

I completely agree... what 254 needs is a partner that has hella quick burglars, can make 3-4 stacks, and can stay OUT of their way.

Agreed. I think tether bots actually are a negative in that respect as they cannot run can burglars and so instead must be able to do a 3 tote auto and ideally have extra weight to tether a partner's ramp.

And if you're playing with a team like the poofs who put up hella stacks, the 3 tote auto isn't nearly as good as the bonus from cans

I think the 20 pt autons are going to play a factor in elms.

Don't for get about the 3rd and 4th robot. There will be cheesecake all over the championship.

I could see top tier teams bringing a spare set of <.25 second whips that easily bolt on a kitbot, and those alliances intentionally picking 3rd rounders with almost no functionality just to modify. They don't even need to play in most matches, just the ones where all 4 cans are contested. If an alliance can consistently make 5 - 6 stacks with cans + noodles they make it to Einstein.

Winning the big show it will be more important to get the center cans, just to deprive the other alliance of scoring potential, but you won't need all the cans advance.

It still seems like 254's best option is to pick another fast can grabber. There is the possibility of 3 tote autos being left later in the draft and they always have the option to cheesecake with their already fast can grabber.

nah... have you seen 4488? them and 254 would be nigh unstoppable together

Honestly, predictions for Einstein are very hard because of the variables generated by the can wars. I think all of these alliances have a shot of winning Einstein.

No 4th bots?

No 4th bots?

Whoops, I forgot about that I will have to edit that once I get some spare time.

I don't really think that a two can grabber is going to last until the 24th pick but I guess it depends on how many two can grabbers are on the field

Looking through so far, I think you're right. it might end up being us as that 3rd pick, actually...

Ugh, we have to loose to 254 in the finals again?

We'd be happy to help you change that.
