I'm going to touch a bit more on advertising, our team has an excellent example of it.

At the 2014 Lake Superior regional that 2052 competed in, our team was going to get picked by the 2nd ranked team 3018. After they said they would pick us obviously we started to talk about what our alliance's second pick should be in the pits, then Team 3692 approached us and told us they had a bot that could load excellently from the HP and that our bot could pick up the ball right from their holder. We went to their pit to analyze their bot and decided we would pick them for their useful capabilities compared to other potential 2nd picks we were looking at. We ended up picking them and winning the regional.. and we absolutely would not have won it without them. If they hadn't advertised to us, it would of been highly unlikely we would of picked them.

But these cases to me are usually pretty rare, but to summarize my message do advertise if needed, but don't go overboard as I previously said.
