So it's just good to keep in mind that the one in 1st seed at the end of qualifying may not have been there for long.

That is one thing that I forgot about qualifying rounds, is that sometime the top seeds can change rank even if it's the last two match. All it take is second seed winning with a lot qualifying points, and first seed not getting quite as much. Pretty much, teams up there are great robots, and maybe a few who got great partners a lot of times.
However, the final result is still heavily decided by how the top seeds pick their partners... #1 seed have an advantage that they can pick the best robot out there, but that may or may not mean their alliance is the best pair.
It's going to take a lot of scouting, experience in the competition, and a lot of luck this year to win!
