Re: Picking Teams in Elimination Rounds

At BAE it was the 5th seed versus the 7th: in the finals, with the 5th coming away with the win. At BAE I was rather amused when 1276 got picked after we had already picked an alliance partner. Also, at BAE the 9th and 10th seeds picked, so be sure to have a list if you are in the top 12. Without one, you'll never amount to any sort of alliance. And put make sure you have a strategy when you make your list. We knew we wanted robots capable of certain things, and we picked robots capable of achieving those ends.

As I'm sure Grady, JVN, Karthik, Brian Beatty and other strategy greats of our FIRST world can tell you, SCOUTING IS IMPORTANT!
