Re: Alliance Request
This year at FLR, after three rocky starts (new camera causing glitching right out of auto, and new gearing on the drivetrain due to chewed-up gear boxes the previous week), we played seven of the best games we've ever played in the history of our team in terms of individual robot performance...
And were 2-8, ranked 44th out of 48 teams. Without any kind of off-field advertising I had no doubt that we were going to be picked, and when the time came we were the 8th overall pick.
If you're not in the top eight (or maybe ten), rank doesn't matter. Do your best on the field and trust the scouts to notice. (And when it comes down to it, I'd rather fly under the radar of teams with bad scouts, and get picked by teams with good scouts, because good scouting usually correlates to high performance.)
