Re: Thoughts on "being scouted" from a Rookie team (please comment)

I'm not sure what the other teams missed. I haven't looked at your robot, but look at 766 on our Sacramento alliance in the finals match and compare your robot to how they operated. We were thrilled that 766 was still available--but note that they were the 24th pick and 7 other alliances had passed them over. That 4161 was still available for us at Inland Empire also surprised us. (And we thought more highly of our next available pick than most of the other 2nd picks and they didn't make it onto an alliance.) Sometimes its hard to figure out what alliance captains are thinking--and often they simply aren't prepared.

Good luck this time.
