Re: Picking Teams in Elimination Rounds
I haven't read the whole thread but I will say this. I believe the new system in theory levels the playing field more and makes for more exciting and fair matches. However, it was the first time in 6 years we did not get picked for finals (at two events too). We could make shots high and low, climb the ramp, and human load. Our elevation and turret control making use of the camera and pots was so good we got the Innovation in Control award for it. We seeded 24th due to 3 partners' robots not showing up for matches in the qualifying rounds. We did not tip, miss a match, or die on the field once. We had the most visible and recognizable pit space.
I'm lead to believe there is something flawed with the system. I just can't pinpoint what it is.
