Re: Alliance Captain versus last pick in Alliance Selection

For instance, our team's robot wasn't able to pick up a ball and had mecanum wheels, we got picked by the 7th placed alliance captain and due to good planning and driving skills we won the competition. Also on the case of anything can happen, that year our team managed to become 2nd place alliance captain and got out in the finals, just an example of how anything can happen. In a game like this year, I would much rather be a pick than a captain
