The stats don't lie...
How to Lie with Statistics

I recommend spending more time on building relationships and marketing your team. All teams suffer from the "our robot is better than that robot", but upon further reflection I've often realized that "their marketing is better than our marketing." I believe that teaching students how to sell their robot, can be just as important as how to build it.

Team spirit, robot presentation, and pit involvement all help your odds of being picked. Rather than blaming everyone for not seeing your robot, it may be more constructive to ask what could have been differently to make your robot/team stand out more.

I noticed you are also one of the lucky teams to get to attend a second regional. I would say get your team pumped for that regional, and make it so no team can ignore you .
