Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional

What my driver means... is their individual performance. Many people look at the FIRST rankings and think those are actually the best teams. Everyone must remember that the qual matches are selected randomly...so it is possible for you to have a killer robot and go 5-5 easily. This year with penalties.. and 3on3.. one robot can not do it all. So scouting is more important than it has ever been. Our first pick (179) did an outstanding job on its own and was very unfortunate to receive as many penalties as they did. 1051 was an outstanding robot that lost a lot of close matches that were in no way its fault. I'm confident our team selected the best teams...and I don't mean the best available ones.
