Outside of 330 I don't believe anyone even got a minibot up the pole in practice.
Right.... This is why I only selected very specific teams, that looked as though they performed well for practice matches, in which most teams are dead. At the end of tomorrow I should have a much better picture of who the power players are. Also who some valuable underdogs may be. I've had a few team's ask for their specific contributions, and I'm developing a tier structure for all teams. So you can have an idea of how good a team is without even watching a match. That being said this isn't intended to replace real scouting, but rather compliment it. Create an objective metric to compare to subjective metrics.
