Re: Alliance Selection 2005- Like it?
I'm a bit confused by the rules. So, as Corey said, Team #2 is really really strong. Their robot needs 10 minutes, that's it~

If it's inoperable after a match, and is fixed, can it come back providing the #4 isn't chosen? Giving time sounds more reasonable than anything, particularly in the quarter finals.

I think the mark of a strong team will be one that is able to sacrifice their right to play for the rest fo the finals, despite wanting to, if their robot is beyond repair, so that their alliance has a fighting chance.

However, until I see the system in action, I'm not sure how to judge it. It depends heavily on attitude, commitment, and quick thinking.
