I won't make it obvious by stating the team number or ranking (in order to hopefully be able to pick them), but one of the VCU winning alliance partners is ranked in the bottom 5th of the list that JVN posted. Showing that that list won't always give you a good look at many teams.

This contest isn't about who is gonna win nationals. This is about who is going to win the most matches.

If a team goes 0-8, then gets picked by some powerhouse, and ends up winning nationals, they still aren't a GREAT pick for this.

Though... they'd be a good pick for the actual competition ;)

But you're right.
Statistics tell whatever lies you want them to. When it comes to FIRST picking, I stay away from them. There are better ways to gauge a FIRST team.

I should have mentioned that I do use some discrepency based on the posts I read and what I have heard from others ;) .

But flipping the list for the first and second rounds would keep it fair...the first pick would get the last pick in the second round.
Tyler is right. After an even number rounds, the average drafting positions of everyone is the same. However, when you have an an odd number, whoever drafted first, has a distinct advantage over those who drafted last. Making it random can only help to even out that last round.

Well I guess that can be done.

I heard you guys needed more people to join. I saw this thread when there were about 16 posts. I decided not to join at first since it sort of seemed a bit like gambling, but now looking at this, it sort of looks like fun. So what the heck, I will join.

How will we determine who goes first? Hopefully it will be random; since that seems fair. ;)

Not every team has a website to get a picture of the robot from.
