67: ERC- 20 EMC-8

it looks like an obvious and smart pick but...
in my opinion they overlook one key player which would have changed everything for them.

2767: ERC- 3 EMC-16

Had 2054 picked 2767 they would have had a monopoly over the best minibots. essentially a guaranteed 50 pts each match.

1918 at R: 16 and M:9 would have picked team 67
but finishing 3rd and 4th in the minibot race would have a very tough time beating 2054.

so i think sometimes we even overlook a potential first pick, because we want to form a powerhouse...
I am not sure this is proving what you want to prove, 67 has one of the most misleading ETCs for the season. If you compare them to other teams using only their data from Western Michigan then they have a EMC of 13, much closer to 2767's 16 and have a much higher 33 for ERC. I don't think there is much debate that 67 was an excellent first choice.
