I will admit, the #1 seed wins a lot this year (just check out Michigan). However, instead of viewing it as the two best teams pairing up and getting an automatic win, use it to your advantage. They earned those spots for a reason. That may be an insane robot, great drive team, awesome human player, or even just good strategic planning. Take notice of what they did, why they did it, and how it is impacting the event. Then try to figure out how to apply that same thing to your team. At least for me, I know I learned more at the events then during the build season. If more teams payed closer attention (not that they don't already) then who knows how much they can improve.

Forgive me if this doesn't make sense, I am running on about three hours of sleep for the third day in a row...
