Re: Should the Number One seed be Alloud to pick the Number Two seed?

I thought we already had a discussion about letting the 8th seed get the first pick?

Anyways, while it is true that #1 picking #2 will win most events, I think at higher levels of play (FIM States, Worlds) we'll see teams pick robots that better suit their playstyle. If a chute door robot seeds 1, their priority would be to pick a RC-focused robot rather than another chute door feeder. If a landfill robot can clear the whole landfill and seeds 1, they won't pick another landfill bot even if they are ranked #2.
