Re: Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble
We also ran the elims a bit differently. We ended up with 3 teams not showing because of raining closing enough roads they couldn't get there! 23 teams doesn't divide by 8 very well...

We picked 1->8, 8->1. Serpentine
The top 8 could not pick each other.
You could decline one invitation, and one only.

As you may have noticed, the top seeded team only got one pick. We dealt with that by running the 4th seed vs 5th seed and 3rd vs 6th first. The losing teams formed the bull pen that the top seed could choose from AND that other teams could PICK from if one of their robots broke.

I really liked how the selection went with the serpentine and no picking amoung the top 8.


I had a really fun time at the fair.
