I’m seeing several 4-team alliances. Is this unusual? I think there are often only one or two per year, and just in 4 weeks there have been three. Also, I think the number of rookies winning is high this year.
I think this might be due to the fact that in elimination rounds is where the most aggressive play takes place. This year the rack is rather dangerous for robots that are not too robust. Also the BaneBot kit gearboxes are not that great so many teams break those.
Well I was at GLR and Boilermaker and here’s what I thought about the winning teams.
Team 503 - Incredible team players, they are deffinately capable of working in sync with other whoever they’re partners with. A great versitile robot capable of good scoring and clutch ramp deployment. Easily a team to keep an eye out for.
Team 1015 - These guys have a really cool arm and are good scorers, they are capable of making play in the heat of battle when needed. They play hard and have a solid offensive with the posibility of good defense.
Team 573 - That’s us! A robot fully capable of scoring with the best of them, excellent strategic player. Between their extremely long arm and meccanum drive they are hard to defend and are very skilled at moving past defense and scoring big time.
Team 1555 - Deffinately a team that seemed to come out of no where to most but proved capable of getting the job done when needed. They played strong and finished even stronger.
Team 234 - A very unique robot that proved to be a fantastic scorer. Full of special features and unique qualities this robot rised to the top and proved to be a powerful force in the competition.
Team 1730 - With a great ramp and an even greater arm these guys were deffinately the team to beat at Boilermaker. Prooving that their robot was a versitile and consistent machine they became the number one seed and made a lasting impression on yours truly.
Teams 1713, 1450, and 250 won at FLR. (#3 Seed)
