Re: Rookie Teams in Elims

I am agreeing with the sentiments of Joe and Adam. Our scouts had a good idea on the first 10-15 teams on Friday night. Of those top 10-15 one was a rookie. Afterward to start figuring out the next set of teams we needed to do a lot of searching to find what teams would work best with our robot/alliance formation we wanted. We had a bunch of teams that fell into this group. Finding the right one that fits with our robot, strategy is a tough task for any team.

I will admit our scouting while leaps and bounds better than what it was in years past, has a long way to go. We collected a lot of great data and performance numbers. Putting that data to great use is our next step.

Regardless we make our picks based upon on field performance regardless of ranking (this year with better data) and based upon how the team rounds out our alliance.
