We could then load 4536 with the human player and 4536 could kiss-pass the ball to 2530 (who was on fire in the later rounds). If we would have finished in the top 4, we would have chosen 4536 and then most likely 2530. No matter where they ended up in the field, it gave our team the best possible alliance. Why should any team be relegated to choose from a select group of teams when the teams that make us better sit as a top 4 or 8?
Yep, I could tell your team wanted to pick ours, I agree it would have made for very exciting elimination rounds. Our robots are about as different as robots could be, but I think that working together would have been spectacular. If only we could somehow combine our robots into one. A robot with your shooter and our intake system would totally dominate.
