Re: Alliance Captain versus last pick in Alliance Selection

I think it greatly depends on the regional, but in a good amount of instances I don't believe the last pick of the first alliance contributes nearly as much as the first two robots. That being said, being essentially the 4th best robot at the competition (yeah I know it doesn't actually work like that) would make me feel a lot better than being handed a gold medal instead of earning one. of course it doesn't feel very good losing in the quarterfinals either.

Championships on the other hand has a much bigger and better field to choose from. If you want to win world champs that third robot is very crucial just like the second bot.
Originally I was going to put 1a and 2a but after more thought I went with 1a and 2b
