I've avoided this thread for awhile now, but I feel like I have to jump in now. This whole conversation is pretty silly (or insert other words here).

There is no way the 4th robot/team has zero impact on any alliance. Be it strategic help, manpower to fix other robots, or playing on the field. End of story.

If you are going to discredit the 4th robot, you may as well discredit the third robot. Hey after that I mean the first pick too, they could have likely been a better robot too. They don't deserve the win. Other teams ranked higher than them. Other robots in other divisions were better then them. Lets just say that everyone doesn't deserve it. Oh and that alliance captain? They only got lucky by having a good schedule/other team better than them had abhorrent luck. They don't deserve to win either. Everyone sucks, lets all get out pitchforks out and hate on everyone.

Seriously this is stupid. Not sure why people have a habit of bashing other people publicly to (what seems to me) validate their success and tell themselves "we could have been the 4th robot for the world champion alliance/division winners/division finalists"

If it's so easy to be the 4th robot and these teams did nothing to deserve it, why don't you do it next year? Shouldn't be hard to be picked up by an alliance as a 4th robot if you don't have to do anything right?!?
