After watching at GLR and some other reigonals it doesn't seem like the finals have anything to do with the qualifying even in the least bit. All of the robots that have the most power are the ones that are going to get picked regardless of how many QP's they got in qualifying. Every match I watched in the finals ended up in a solid tug of war.
So is this a good or bad strategy or is it un-FIRST like? Who cares MOEhawk doesn't need a 90 pt average to make it to the finals. I really don't think QP's mean a whole lot this year. If you built a 2 or 3 goal handling robot that is strong and even somewhat reliable you are probably high on the list of robots to go to the finals at every event. If you built a ball handler you have to be the best I think to even be considered this year.
