Joe,

Texas is a long story. I don't have the exact rankings, but 148, 364, and 118 are doing very well and look to pick. 1 is doing moderately well. 1772 is doing very well and is currently ranked 8. 57 is working perfectly and darn near the bottom of the rankings. As you said, the matching algorithm is a travesty. 57 is a straight ramp bot with strong defense, and that just doesn't work well when the vast majority of your partners are inexperienced drivers or have robots that are mechanically highly unlikely to ever make it up a ramp. Look for 57 to be a strong 2nd pick by the lowest ranked smart alliance in the elims.
