The #1 and #2 seeded robots are the best robots. Otherwise, you are saying that the seeding rounds are used to place robots in random order.

All I am trying to say is that as Alan as said we don't play enough matches to prove who really should be seeded number 1 or number 2, that they are just rough approxamations. Looking at FLR, some of the top seeded teams never played against each other. Also remember that the #1 seeded team may need something different than what the #2 seeded team has to offer. But yes if you want to take it as me saying the robots are placed in random order then go ahead and do so, because when thinking about ranking you don't take into account matches when you have 2 robots against 3 because someone didn't make the match (Since that is not a good judge of your robot with respect to the alliance). You don't play all the robots at a regional, and I would venture to say that you barely play half at the Championship. So the best robots could be teams that aren't seeded number 1 and number 2. But by all means if you are number 1 pick the #2 seed. Because i know that if i was the number 3 seed, i would pick a perfect partner for me, no matter thier seed.
I do plan on keeping a tab on all of the #1 alliances that win regionals, so that i have a slightly larger, but by no means perfect, sample.
