[quote=collin234] if your alliance is deserving enough to win national championships...you should be able to withstand picking first or second.

Exactly...I got to reading this post, and thinking about the current system at the regionals and how 8 is first paired with 1. I was about to respond how that was unfair, then I got to thinking that if they were to ever win, they would have to beat everyone else. The first position is also not necesarily the best alliance. Some robots get lucky in partners/opponets, and get up there without much work at all.
