Als, are you talking Worlds or regionals.
Ususally the highest off my pick list that does not get picked up is around #20 or so.

Yes, we have two different sets of criteria, and they are actually more distinct at Regionals than at Champs. Typically we assume that our 2nd pick will add little on offense in teleop to the other two bots, so we focus on auto, the end game and defense. In 2014, we added inbounding and dropped the end game. 2015 was entirely about the auto routine (except we totally lucked out with 1671).
So for comparison purposes, we often have a half dozen robots who might be offensive robots that don't make our first pick cut list and we have another set of 2nd pick bots that we prefer instead. We don't want to confuse our team captain by sending her (well, him this coming year) out with 2 lists if possible.
