It was a very interesting set of alliance selections being there. Only one in-pick, some smart, more risky picks that played out well, some risky picks that didn't play out well. It was fascinating, really.
Looking back, most teams were picked where they should have been, but a few teams that didn't get picked stand out quite a bit: 1325 and 2590 were two robots capable of 3 stacks in a match, 1218 was the 10th seed, and ended up not captaining an alliance or getting picked, 4678 was the most consistent tote stack autonomous routine left, and a solid two stacks/match from the feeder. 3130 was a consistent two stacks from the landfill.
I think some of these robots had unfortunate luck in qualifications and weren't able to show off what they're capable of because they either got stuck in the landfill or weren't given the cans to use. 1218 was unlucky in that there was no in-picking, and their stacks of 5 didn't seem desirable enough to any alliance. 3130- I don't know how they didn't get picked.
