The stats don't lie:
Team Rank Assists Name
971 1 640 Moutain View HS
114 6 330 Los Altos HS
668 9 320 Pioneer HS, San Jose
100 26 160 Woodside

BTW:
My team 751 rank 30 assists 310

I know I'm a little late to the party, but...
FYI, we were purely chosen for our defense. We had no real high goal capability, and didn't plan to assist in eliminations. We had a ton of electrical issues the whole weekend, and never really were able to work the mechanical aspects of our shooter that were holding us back.
Saturday morning, I made the case to 2671 that we deserved to be their first pick, as we were possibly the best defensive pick of the regional, and likely wouldn't make it to the second round. We had kept them (2671) from scoring a single point one match, and had kept 1678 to 2 truss shots and 2 low goals in another. We figured that we'd be able to shut down the other alliance's offensive team, while they scored points. We'd be able to get a third pick would handle assisting and trussing, as this event was fairly deep with them.
We we're extremely surprised that we'd convinced 2671, and were very lucky to get a second pick as good as 1662. Unfortunately, things didn't quite work out in eliminations, what with technical fouls and main breaker issues.
We're working really hard to make our shooter so it never breaks for SVR, and believe we've finally put our main breaker and electronics issues behind us. I'm looking forward to competing there with the robot we designed, not with the awesome defense bot we discovered we had by accident.
Good luck to you and your team at SVR.
