Imagine yourself as the best hanging robot at the regional. What would you do?

If it were me. I would pick the next best hanger if they were comparable to our hanging ability. If the next best hanger isn't too great, I'd pick a sucessful throwing robot. If that doesn't exist, I'd pick the fastest runner.

As per the third pick? I probably wouldn't pick a third hanger (similar to a team of 3 hurdlers in overdrive). I would probably pick a reliable, sturdy robot that can play defense or run tubes depending on our chosen strategy.
