Re: You pick, which would you rather have

I'd take A.

OK. New question. With multiple scenarios.

1) You are a wide-base robot that can score fairly well (let's say you're the fifth best scorer at the regional). You are first seed. There are only a certain number of widebots at your competition, and none of the rest of them can score. If, however, you take a longbot, all of the other widebots will be gone by the time your third pick comes around.

Do you pick the widebot that can't score but enables you to triple balance or the longbot that is the best scorer at the competition but locks you out of the triple?

2) Same scenario but your robot cannot score effectively.

3) Same scenario but your robot is a longbot.

4) Same scenario but you are the best scoring robot at the competition.

5) Same scenario but you are fourth seed and all of the scorers better than you were taken first.
