So I wouldn't blame the scouting or drafting.
It was the result of the ranking system that rewarded getting just enough poiints to win low-scoring matches, two separate tasks that became integrated into elimination scoring. So 3 separate tasks became only in the playoffs. As a result schedule became even more important. An unbalanced schedule allowed certain teams to accomplish those tasks more easily thanks to the help of stronger teams, and stronger teams were hurt when an alliance mate failed to accomplish a task.
If 686 had not gotten back to the batter in time in the last match for 148, Hopper would have looked a lot more like Curie.

They (1983) shared their data with us during a match but I feel like the scouts of a team usually do not scout their own team's performance fairly. I have this problem on my own team where people will put down awesome things about one of our bad matches and scout our robot to be better than it actually is.
I will attached our top 20 posted scores which we did later edit for consistency.
(Not to discredit any team because I love this robot design)
1983 crossed 28 defenses, scored 21 high goals, and scored 7 low goals in the qualifications which put them in our data after we ranked for consistency around 15th in overall effectiveness in Curie for a high goal shooter. I would be interested in seeing their data because I loved their graphic color charts and the way the data is organized. Maybe I am misunderstanding the term "producing" but they scored a lot less defenses (41) and half as many high goals (48) as the highest robots in those scoring categories.
This is why I was confused at the alliance selection when there were many other robots that should have bubbled to the top a lot faster. 3339 and 876 being prime examples, what if 1089 had picked one of them! Either way, it was an exciting and interesting turn of events in Curie
