I wonder if if our robot could pull a triple balance though..we only pulled of a 2-way balance...
Again, were you able to balance in every match? Did you have any issues with your robot at the event? How long did it take you to balance? How consistent were you in auto? Did you ever have any issues not showing up to the field on time, missing matches (due to the robot not working or because you hadn't passed inspection)?

I wasn't at the event and haven't seen any match video so I can't really speak specifically about your robot, but it's really hard for us all here to judge without all the information. Being seeded 11th doesn't really mean anything to me. There are teams that sometimes get carried all the way into the top 8 by getting paired up with good robots every match. I'm not saying this is the case with you because I don't know the facts.

I've also seen you posting in other places about not getting picked. Well, it happens. It's fine to ask for advice on what sorts of things the teams in picking position were looking for. But most of the posts I've seen by you have just been reiterating the point that you really think you should've been picked. You just keep parrotting "We were 11th seed and could double balance." That's fine and dandy, but doesn't really add to the conversation very much and it gets irritating to check back on this thread to see that you're in here again complaining about not being picked.

Am I being a bit harsh? Maybe. But one of the thing that really bothers me about CD is that some people come on here largely to just toot their own horns and highlight their own team.
