Additionally with the depth of IRI, being the 8th seed could be better than the first seed, getting picks 8 and 9 back to back. Both of these robots are guaranteed to be fantastic. By the time you get to pick 16 the talent will drop off a little bit (but not much). The first seed needs the ability to form the best alliance, and serpentine doesn't work for IRI in that regard.
