Would you say these teams focused on Chairman's/EI and not the robot game?
Clearly teams like 2826 and 987, as well as my own team (2614) which win RCA AND Win an event are focused on both Chairman's/EI AND the robot game

Being good friends with many people from 4265, I know that they acknowledged that their robot was not one of the best and did not expect to be picked before 4th pick. Further, they were cheesecaked extensively by 2826 to include a can grabber, and likely would not have been picked otherwise. Basically what I'm saying is that although during build season they focused on the robot game, but acknowledged their robot's inferiority at CMP, and so focused mostly on EI while there (I also know they were very saddened when they didn't win EI)

I don't know much about 2512, so I can't say anything about them other than possibly cheesecake

It's interesting to note that all of the finalists playing on the field on Hopper were Chairman's award winners. Neat factoid most people probably don't know
