Marketing Marketing Marketing is right. Our team was picked 2nd by the 8th alliance at NJ and then 2nd by the 1st alliance at Buckeye. That may not seem like a big difference but at NJ we were lucky to be picked at all. We had barely talked to any of the teams in the top 8 and we were a low key team so we went mostly unnoticed. At Buckeye we made ourselves be known right from the start because we actually had fans cheering in the stands (An unfortunate rarity for us). Also, we started talking to the teams that we thought we would make a good alliance with. Thus the teams we wanted to be picked by knew who we were while the other teams had to base their knowledge on their own scouting. We wound up slipping through the first round of selection because of this and our alliance went to the finals.
A mistake made is a lesson learned
