Re: #1 seeded teams

just to prove that the seeds do not necessarily demonstrate the best robots: We were seeded 15th (out of 40) at the end of fridays matches.

Number of matches we were scheduled for: 7
Number of matches we fielded a robot: 4
Number of matches our robot moved: 2
Number of matches our robot was able to score: 0
Number of matches our robot worked: 0
Reason we ended up 15th: Our alliance partners

The robot was fixed, we played both of our matches on saturday as a fully functional alliance and lost both. We ended up 26th seed and were not picked.
Yes, the top seeded robots will be some of the best robots, but just as we had a lucky break on Friday, other teams got the worse end when we DIDN'T field a robot, and lost because of that. They may have had the best robot at the regional, but couldn't win a 2 on 3 match against 3 good robots
