As a rookie is there something i am missing? Could someone clarify please?
Thanks
Basically, it's not that 1325 was a "weak" team, it's more that the type of skills the alliance teams were looking for were not the skills they had to offer.

For 2056/4001/2200 I believe the thinking was that 2056 would be able to score fairly consistently throughout the match (as they did) and that the other 2 bots were able to play defense well as well as were small bots able to complete the triple balance which they pulled off in the finals to win them the first match. I didn't follow the other teams and selections as closely as I did 2056 otherwise I may have been able to offer more insight.

Just my $0.02
