I think the odds are lower than in the past that the #1 seed will be one of the two or three highest scoring robots.
I think the odds are higher than in the past that a better-on-paper alliance can be beaten in the eliminations.
If I multiply out the probabilities, I think it is more likely than not that the #1 seed will not win the event.
