So theoretically how low seeded could you be and still get a wild card?

65th. You could be the lowest ranked team, get picked by an alliance because you add something to the alliance that the alliance captain thinks is beneficial, end up as a finalist and have a wildcard fall to you.

Disregarding the seeding part, but it could be possible for a team to not even make it to finals and they could still pick up a ticket to worlds.

What were you getting at? Are you asking about how to earn a ticket to championship? The rules for that are here (http://www.firstinspires.org/sites/default/files/uploads/resource_library/frc/registration/2016/championship-eligibility-criteria.pdf).
Yeah thats what i was getting at
Per the rules, Wildcards only go to the Finalist alliance. And they go in order: Captain, 1st pick, 2nd pick, backup (if present).

Yes. I was saying the finalists could also all be pre qualified. So the wildcards could go unused
There will be a lot of wildcards that go unused at this event. There are a lot of good teams that will be there and we could easily see a situation where everyone that is in the finals, regardless of the result, would qualify for champs.

Some additional things:
33 of the 65 teams have been to at least one regional
5 of the teams have been to two regionals
4 teams have OPRs > 40
12 have OPRs > 30
8 are in the 20s
6 are between 15-20
10 teams have have finished in the top 10 at a regional already this year:
118 (2x)
231
233 (2x)
624 (2x)
1421
1477 (2x)
2352
2587
3999
4587
And as Lynca pointed out there are 4 teams that are coming in already having won Chairmans (2) or EI (2).
I know Pearadox has been working hard and we should be much improved from Alamo, but we'll see if it's just enough to stay "in the mix" or if it will be enough to stand out.
A very good line up for what could be the last Lone Star Regional (or 2nd to last)

TBD...
Hello Lone Star!
The Blarglefish will be much improved and hoping to bring some heat to Lone Star. We have a faster high goal shot, a new low goal shot, and you'll likely see some tower-scaling Blarglefish throughout the weekend. There's a ton of top-notch teams competing in Houston...hopefully we can earn our keep and try to earn one of those Wildcards!
...cant wait to play more Stronghold in Houston!
Good luck to all the teams competing in Week 6!

Team 5431 were finalist in Dallas with the Klienbots. We are looking forward to breaching, shooting and climbing with you all this weekend.
Though the Robot Competition looks to be fierce. I think the biggest win will be finding a Parking Place within 1/2 mile. With all the construction, show up early and bring your walking shoes.
Next be prepared for Saturday evening when there is a Concert in the Toyota Center. (Not going to advertise who) So knowing the parking lots, most will charge you $10 for the day, but at a set time the price will go UP and they'll probably make you pay for the Evening price also.
Then we're in for the best part, with a major event downtown, the TRAFFIC. :confused: :yikes: :confused: With all the road construction it's going to be a major mess. :ahh:
Good Luck to all the Teams at the Competition, and Good Luck to all the Mentors and parents driving to the event.

Would someone be able to link the YouTube stream that TheBlueAlliance GameDay is using? I can't seem to get to it through mobile.

Thanks Captain Obvious

118 did everything they could.
233 had comm issues and were dead 90% of the match, and it appears to me the ref's missed a low bar crossing that clearly happened on the video. They wouldn't have won but should have gotten the breach.

Did anyone happen to pick up an iPhone 4 Saturday after the awards ceremony? One of our mentors dropped it and she wasn't able to find it.

Yes I plan on it, need to get all the stream links to pull down the archives. Should be done in the next few days.
