The 8th seed took out the 1st and the 7th seed took out the 2nd seed. All 6 teams on the top seeded alliances were fantastic robots. However, as a team, they did not work together well because they all specialized in the same thing.

(Not to blow our own horn or anything) the reason that alliance 5 (639, 229, 1559) did as well as we did was because we worked well together. We had a bot that was good at scoring, we had a good defense bot, and we had a bot that could lift a robot 12" off the ground every time.

The moral of this story: pick teams based on their abilities, not on their ranking.
