What's your top five? UCF edition
I'm surprised that there is no thread on this topic yet so I'm starting it.
From what you have seen, heard, or read, what are YOUR top five picks (top five seeds) for the UCF regional next week? Basically five teams that you believe will dominate (or at least) excel in the regional. here's mine: 1. 86 Resistance 2. 233 Pink 3. 1251 Tech Tigers 4. 190 5. 1523 M.A.R.S. |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
Thanks Ari,
It looks like we're going to have some strong competition. I'm not sure how its all going to play out because the wild card is defense. Will it matter or won't it???? If it turns out that defense isn't strong every match then my list is slanted towards the light traction high scorers (that I've seen so far). If it turns out defense is winning the day, it becomes anybodys game and the defenders are more important. For instance, without D I would pick teams like MARS and 1345 and 86 etc. But with great D teams like 61 and 386 around I don't see those high scorers getting much done. So you need muscle and scoring mixture. Which in my opinion requires either treads or 6wd, and 2 speed transmissions etc. Then you combine that with a turret or ground holding/camera correcting system and you've got a winner. I've heard about heatwave and I can't wait to see that machine. Also I've seen the 79 pics, and that looks like a tough machine. 1369 looks interesting. Also 710 has a cool blocking technique. And of coarse 1029 is going to play some great D and get those 1 pointers. SPAM has a killer machine but I know they've got a lot of work to do to get it running clean - if they do they will own. I'm really looking forward to seeing 1251 but the overweight thing had me concerned. I'm sure 845 will bring a well rounded machine. 190 and 342 always put together amazing machines, but I have no info. Don't forget 945 - winner of 2004. Anyhow I won't boast on ours and I'll pick (from those I know of) 233, 312, 61, 86, 79. If SPAM can get all their stuff finished I'd put them in my top 2 - I'm hoping for a great SPAM season. |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
1) 845 - Overlooked in the past years, should make a great run
2) 312 - Always an impressive bot, with smart drivers/scouts, and a compatible partner, they should dominate 3) 1402 - Great strategy last year, expect the same this year 4) 61 - Good defenders, if a good autonomous then a great team they shall be 5) 357 - Have run into some on and off luck in past competitions, should be their year to have a big run |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
i believe that a ground collection system will be a valuable defensive asset, as critical as a good drive train;
1) 233 2) 179 3) 86 4) 1902 5) 1029 Quote:
and whatever fink told you about heatwave will pay dearly. his betrayal will not be taken lightly. <edit> Quote:

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
I've also heard rumblings about 312--I'll be very interested to see them in action.
I suppose I should, to get the list proper... 1) 179 2) 233 3) 180 4) 312 5) 1902 (Technically rookies, but they've got a lot of experience in their mentors. I'm not going to count them out.) |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
No self-plugging here, since I'll be base driving. I do believe that qualifies as a conflict of interest...
My list: 1) 312 - Heatwave - I have no idea why I've been saying this since before the start of the season. Just trust me on this one. 2) 86 - Resistance - Absolutely amazing robot from what I've seen in the video. Fast, accurate and reliable, this bot is sure to dominate. 3) 180 - S.P.A.M. - Great drivetrain, and assuming they have everything finished, I'm quite positive we will all be amazed. 4) 79 - Krunch - My team's former mentors will be served well by their swerve drive this year, but will their drivers be up to the task? 5) 233 - Pink - I hate to say it, I'm pretty sure they will do well, but the SwampPink dynasty is over. Maybe next year guys? |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
Let me start off by saying thats for you people who put 1251 in the top 5.
I really don't know you never know but here it goes : 86 233 190 179 1523 Just a wild guess from what I have seen and heard so far, there are a lot of variables in this. Just my two cents on this subject, good luck to everyone see ya in a week or so. -Drew Last edited by techtiger1 : 28-02-2006 at 23:19. Reason: Ok we have a lot of work to do and SWAMPTHING rocks! |

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
Lets see:
Fire a big publix burger and Jumbo shrimp You guys have barbeques for the moles? That doesn't sound like a threat to me. Since I'm part of the conspiracy do I get some of this surf and turf? I'll spill the beans I swear! |
