Re: 3539 Michigan powerhouse rookie team

Clarification on rankings/picks:

#1 seed (2337 Enginerds) picked #4 seed (469 Las Guerillas).
#2 seed (217 Thunderchickens) picked #6 seed (33 Killer Bees).
#3 seed (3539) picked 1718 (Fighting Pi), who was their mentor team. Both teams (3539 and 1718) have almost identical robots (clearly they are clones but have diverged in modifications post-bag, especially in the minibot domain)

The #3 alliance beat the #2 alliance in the semi-finals and went on to take the finals to 3 matches. I think that, had all robots and minibots been working fully, any one of those three alliances could have won.
