biggest threat in atlanta

[JackN]

The other big threat is the 4-5-6 seeds. These are the most likely to win each division (except Galileo). If I am 4-5-6 I get the last of the elite teams and usually the last of the good teams for my partners. Lets say were on Galileo, 469 seeds fourth, picks 234 (Yes I think they still will be there) and then picks 60/1270/any other good team for their third partner. The second pick will be better than any that 1114/330 can get for their third partner. I excluded Galileo because the field is the deepest I have ever seen for a division. There is a good chance they will have three really good robots.

Its extremely presumptuous to say what division is and isnt deep. Some robots will perform better than they did in regionals, some will perform worse. Our job is to scout and use strategy to our advantage.

That said, the teams that fly under the radar, silently winning matches in ninja-like style will be the ones that end up on top. Let the "elite teams" beat each other up. Let 2056 and 1114 get double and triple teamed. The teams that aren't hyped up, but which are still good, are the ones that will show up on Einstein.

OMG MY TEAM IS GOING TO PWN ALL YOU N00BS!!!

....guys hold off on tooting your own horn please... its getting a little extreme on this thread. If your team is that amazing I am sure someone else will notice and mention your team. In the spirit of GP and (my sanity) trying not to look obnoxious please refrain from continually reminding us of the amazingness of your team. As much as we would like it these forums are not here to pimp your own team's name... and serve a much more useful purpose.

Guys, you are saying defense bot? How about 997? Double lifter with very strong defensive driving system and stratagy. Yes of course their bot is not stable and can be tipped over easily, but their ability to push and flawlessly double lift is something that cannot be underestimated

They both won portland and davis regional flawlessly

Not really true.
you could say that out of the two competitions we were on of the 6 teams that played the most matches. More then almost any other 2 teams.
We were only tipped over once, and the team that did it ALSO tipped 100 in the same match >.>
That was the one and only time we were on our side, and they got a yellow flag for rough defensive play.

Indeed. Mike, Ethan, chill out a bit, please. We certainly wouldn't be talking like that to the other teams in person, would we?

Anyways, the Infinity Drive is one awesome bit of machinery, and I hope everyone stops by the pits to take a gander at it and maybe exchange some knowledge. We can all learn a lot from each other, and come back next year. Frankly, there are only a few types of engineering that really help for more than one year, and one of them is the drive train. That's what's so important about the Infinity Drive. Not that It'll PWN TEH OTHER TEAMS! but that everyone can get some inspiration for the years after this.

Also, we darn well better not forget about the real reason we won Philly. Scouting and strategy. We spent hours upon hours looking at all the other teams, and we knew how to beat them. I suggest that every attendee to the Championship make sure you know who you're going against, as it helps a ton.

Bah, I'm ranting, aren't I?
