Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?

I'll ditto Karthik. Your performance all Friday belies your statement, you scored 1 ringer in your first match on Saturday. You did look pretty good in your last match on Saturday, but you weren't being defended and that was THE last match on Saturday. It may seem a bit unfair, but pulling together scouting info on Saturday is a heck of a tough job. Expecting a team to suddenly notice you're incredibly awesome in the final match before alliance pairings is asking a bit much.

I can personally speak to 1114's scouting prowess. 57's robot pretty much completely failed to work all Friday. We were a ramp bot with busted ramps. We fixed them friday afternoon and were solid for all 3 of our matches on Saturday and 1114 picked us as the final alliance pick in the pairings. I'm pretty sure that indicates they were still looking hard at teams on Saturday, since even by the 16th pick there had to be better options out there than the completely useless ramp bot we were on Friday. Truth be told, if we hadn't been selected by any teams, I would've completely understood. Most scouting happens on Friday and we honestly completely inhaled audibly then, so it would've made sense.
