Team 175 (BUZZ) and team 33 (Killer Bees) took advantage of the scouting system and picked 108.
Actually, Team 175 did all of our own scouting. We developed our tetra counting system at the Chesapeake Bay Regional. At nationals we had imputed the data into a team members PDA and we were able to rank it using that. Yes, when we picked 108 they were the highest scoring team left.

We did find that in this game alliance partners do make all the difference. Our first alliance pick (Team 33) was the highest scoring robot there but they had had quite a bit of bad luck and they ended up seeded around 11th or so. On the other hand, many robots that weren't as good were seeded quite highly because they had good luck.
