Re: 2016 MAR Season

Running through the numbers--it looks like for playoff rounds, it is likely that the 16th pick will be able to shoot well, scale, or just be really, really good at driving/low goaling. The field keeps getting deeper at every event as teams get better at shooting and scaling. There will be many good robots that go unpicked.

Speaking of good robots, the range from 60-67 on the rankings is loaded with teams who either improved drastically between events or got stuck multiple times on the back half of the draft. I wonder if we will see any teams decline the invitation, and some of these teams could make it in.
