Re: 9th Seed not Getting Picked for Elims?
We've seen it both ways.
In 2012, 639 was ranked 88th, got picked by 68 and 330, and we ended up as Newton finalists. Ours was definitely a niche robot.
This year, we finished 12th on Arch, ended up 9th after the inpicking, and didn't move on. I would describe it as a typical robot with an effective drive team.
Besides the existing comments on overall difficulty of scouting, and dependency on alliance partners during quals, the conclusion afterwards was that opting to maximize alliance performance meant not making use of our team's best capabilities. Unfortunate, but the team had a great time, and we'll just try harder the next time.
