By the "higher seed in eliminations", you mean the higher
numbered seed. But even that isn't accurate. Whichever Alliance on the field is the blue Alliance gets precedence over the red Alliance. That means whichever Alliance entered that round of advancement as the underdog gets to place their robots second. Teams going into finals are actually incentivised to score the minimum point threshold to advance so they can choose their Canburglar position going into finals.
