Re: Is alliance selection usually this bad?
An example of what David is talking about is the 2011 Dallas Regional thread. Look at that thread in comparison to some of the other regional threads and the Michigan State Championship thread. You'll see a major difference in participation in the threads. To me, it shows that the rookie teams are not active on CD. The ones that do find their way to CD and learn to delve into its resources, will learn to celebrate their competitions and their achievements as a community. The ones that don't have a community of support, will develop more slowly in all areas. In some robotics communities and areas, it is hard for the teams to understand that networking together and creating workshops and training opportunities, benefit them as individual teams and as a community. They are slow to grasp the potential impact of working together. Not every area has this problem but some areas definitely contend with this attitude.
