And then when they picked techno-ticks people were uterly amazed and didn't think they would do that well. Well they went on to win thier division, but lost against the 2003 national champions in the semi-s on Einstien.

Well a lot of that went on in galileo it was strange indeed, that is smart strat. and im glad to know more about the behind the scene picking! But it is also very disheartening that a lot of alliances were pre made without looking at the new good bots (like us) that did not get picked in 2005
im VERY happy about the 3rd team pick being reverse order (8-1) this year, and i disagree with making seeds 1-8 not be able to pick within the 8, last year, being 11th seed @ glr, and having the top 8 teams pick within each other to cause team 1596 to become the 8th seed was amazing, and in my opinion its a great opportunity to 9-12th seeded teams.
and a good example of #1 seed alliance not winning, last year GLR, our alliance (8th seed), knocked the #1 alliance (teams 1,??,??) out of the finals
, albeit, we didnt win, 66,67,68 did.
