And there were definitely some upsets at the high levels - on Carson, the #1 alliance (lead by 254 The Cheezy Poofs) was eliminated in quarters and the #5 alliance went to Einstein. A tangled auto and a stack placed atop litter toppled another in the first round, and a robot fell over the second during auto - end of season. Once on Einstein, the other top alliance anticipated prior to CMP (148 Robowranglers allied with 1114 Simbotics) went down in semis - it was the #4 alliance that took the gold and the #5 that took silver. While I did not notice any 3/7 victories, I did see several 4/6 can splits which were won by the team with only four RCs.

The two seed alliance from Carson went to Einstein, not the five seed.
