Re: rookie teams for alliance partner

If your a rookie and you perform well people will pick you. In the end people don't care if your a rookie or not, because if you can show your stuff and help your alliance win people will not care that you are a rookie.
Also alliance picking can be somewhat political. Two years ago at New Haven we saw teams picking teams they had founded, even when their robots were broken. Some regional's are open minded, but in some there are some old alliances
