Alliance Partner Attributes

FIRST General Forum

I realize that opinions will probably change on this throughout the season, but imagine you’ve made it to finals and it’s alliance selection time.

What are the top 5 attributes/capabilities you would look for in your first pick for alliance partner?

How about for your second pick?

I moved this post to it’s own thread, as it seems to be a separate topic.

I think that really depends on who you are. There are a couple thing I think each winning alliance needs to do. 1) DAMAGE every defense (ie. cross it twice) to this end. teams may want to chose partners who can breach the defenses that they themselves cannot breach. 2) weaken the tower (put 8 boulders in it) teams may not specialize in putting boulders in towers, if an alliance captain is not good at putting lots of bolder in towers, then they may want to get a partner to weaken the tower just by putting a large volume of boulders in it. 3) capture and climb, this is all just points, if you can climb you virtually guarantee your alliance 15 points, this makes you very attractive

Its like in any other year (follow the points)

  1. Climbing
  2. Killer Auto then stay and shoot HG
  3. Breach specialist (on its own do a breach)
  4. Low goal ground intake cycle bot and low goal scorer.
  5. Low bar crosser and quick low goal scorer/ cycle bot

As a side note: A bot that could be cheese caked assuming a bolt on winch or chop shop for logoal w goal and a plow to score low maybe both.
