While this is an interesting statistic, rank isn't necessarily a very good criteria to use when picking an alliance partner. After the first half of the first round of picks where the top four or five seeded teams are glad handing each other, most picks will come from the middle of the pack. There the rankings much more reflect alliance performance than individual robot performance. It's important for the scouts to evaluate each robot for its individual strengths and weaknesses.
