Looking up, the odds of picking versus being picked don't look good when you've never been on the picking side.

Now, personally, I believe that trying to be in control is preferable to resigning myself to being at the mercy of the serpentine draft gods, but I can see how a reasonable person would come to a different conclusion.
well to be fair, our robots are at least in the top half of robots at any given competition (excluding 2013), usually in the top 5 at district/ regional events. however, the scheduling gods hate us, so we are often ranked much lower than we should be. Sometimes being desirable is being a really good robot that had some bad matches and is therefore ranked low.
