Building a robot to be picked IS very nervewracking. You bring up 2001 and Hammond not having to worry about that...but look at 2002. Hammond couldn't score that many points, but they could prevent other teams from scoring. Therefore, we didn't seed very high but people noticed what we could do. In effect our bot was built to be picked but like someone pointed out, you better know you can do it and not just think you can.
Perhaps the best offense is a good defense...
