Re: qualifying or eliminations style robots

It's a tough decision either way. Focusing on doing well in quals can put you into a picking position but you risk not being able to get a middle recycling container bot unless you are the number 1 robot. On the other hand, even if you are the best middle recycling container bot, there is no guarantee that the best alliances will even pick you. You might be picked by a lower weaker alliance that can't use you as effectively. It's a tradeoff I really like in the game and few teams that do it will probably end up on Einstein.
