I apologize in advance for not being able to give out gift cards for the fastest contributors... Maybe one day
I just came from the week 1 district event at Mount Olive (MAR) and I recall only seeing a handful of tall robots. (Tall meaning that it can't fit under the low bar).
Statistically speaking, if a majority of the robots at a competition can go under the low bar, it's likely that the highest seeded robot will be, too. I don't think that it's this hypothetical teams ability to go under the low bar that makes them the highest seed. I personally see no correlation.
