Re: "Random" match Schedules

Another thing that the system affects is alliance selection from the point of view of the teams picking. Sure good scouting can tell you what teams can put up how many points and so on, but you really are in the dark about a lot of team's cooperative abilities.

Anyone with ramps is ineffective if their partners can't get up. Sure, you can look and physically see if their drivetrain can do it, but are the drivers good enough? will they come back to get on? will they listen to specific instructions on how to get up?

Until you play with them, it's difficult to tell if you can actually work well with them, which is especially important in a game that requires as much cooperation and coordination as this.

for the record, I am not complaining about either of our alliance partners (you guys were great). As one of the main scouts however, it was very frustrating when putting our list together of teams we would like to work with, since we had very little information on so many teams.
