Using pre scouting data that we collected for IRI, I based these seeds off of the 4536 scouting database, and furthermore based it off of the teams Teleop Tower Decrease at champs or last event played. I then mocked up how it would work, if I was picking bots for all teams, and included some bias that might happen as well. Overall this was quite fun! Here is my mockup of how it would look like:
179 - 195 - 330 - 1640

4039 - 4587 - 27 - 1718
QF
179 - 195 - 330 - 1640
179 had averaged around 7 balls in teleop at champs according to the stats, so they get ranked #1, they pick up the 3rd ranked robot, 195, because it's 195. Then in the second round of picks, they choose 330 because they could play defense with their arm mechanism, and you know, they won Champs as well. Last pick of alliance selection they choose 1640, a nice bot with a scaler, and can shoot well.
3683 - 1241 - 1806 - 233
3683, one of the best low goal and defensive bots around ranked 2nd having weakened the tower with around 6.74 balls per match at Champs. They pick their Canadian friends 1241, because of how well the team plays with any team (and bias). In the second round they pick 1806, a team with a nice shooter and robot that can overcome almost any blocker. Finally they pick 233, another low goal bot, that will just be there as a backup defense bot, just in case 3683 losses their blocking ability.
3641 - 2481 - 1114 - 2771
3641 ranked 4th after the fictional quals, decreasing the tower by around 6.43 at Champs. They decide to pick the beasts that are 2481, the Champs at Champs. During the second round of picks, they decide to go with 1114, who finally is tuned to 99% perfection of not choking. Last but not least, they pick 2771, another bot that, when undefended, can single handedly drop 12 boulders in the tower. They pick them for defense with their intake that drops bounders into the shooter.
1024 - 67 - 2052 - 910
1024 ranked 5th putting around 6.38 boulders into the tower at Champs. They decide to go with a machine similar to 1678, and go with 67, the Mildly HOT team, if you base their number off of Fahrenheit. Their second pick is 2052, the team that knocked them out at the Carson finals. Finally they pick 910, The Foley Freeze, to play defense (And to cool down the HOT teams motors after matches). They played defense on Carver for the finals, so they know the ropes.
118 - 2056 - 217 - 2502
118 ranked 10th with 5.99, but jumped to the 5th spot because of inter picking. They pick 20566, their GTR-E buddies. 2056 was picked low because of how easily it is to block their shooter from the outerworks. They then pick 217 because it’s a tall bot, a good shooter, and they could possibly triple hang. Their last pick is 2502, a batter shooter and can play some great defense (and hang) and was the backup bot for 2056 at 2015 IRI (which they won). 2056 has an alliance that can mesh with their drive team very well, and might make it to Semis tbh.
494 - 868 - 16 - 1405
I personally like this alliance because of one thing that I say to
jajabinx124 over and over again, ‘swerve drive wins championships’. 494 ranked 11th, but got seeded 6th after inter picking. They pick 868 because of their new 2 ball auto and 494’s swerve drive that won’t interfere with it. The second bot they pick is 16 because of swerve drive, shooting, defense capability, and scaling. Last they pick up a great, if not the best defense bot, 1405, to round out this alliance.
5460 - 2451 - 3130 - 2826
5460 ranked 12th, but now is the 7th alliance captain. They pick one of the best catapult teams out there, and almost undefendable from the outerworks, 2451. In the second round of picking they get 3130, another great catapult team with a tape measure scaler that is sure to wow some folks. Both 2451 and 3130 were knocked out in Tesla in the semis, on different sides of the bracket. The last pick they go for is a defensive bot, none other than 2826, looking to win at least one event this year.
4039 - 4587 - 27 - 1718
4039 ranked 16th overall, with a teleop tower decrease at 5.87 at champs, but got to be the 8th alliance captain. They pick up a steal, with 4587, a Texas team with 2 ball auto. They then pick up a team that can do the sally port, with 27 and with a heavy machine, could play hard defense. They then pick up 1718, another nice bot that won MSC with 27. This alliance wishes to out shoot the #1 alliance with this alliance.
