Re: Picking alliances
The scouting booklet made by SHARC couldn't possibly have included the robot's performances, it was distributed on Friday morning to aide in every team's scouting. It wasn't a ranking booklet.
Informing teams of your performance, not what you THINK you can do but what you actually HAVE DONE, during the competition isn't going to unfairly sway an alliance's opinion.
Used car salesmen are supposed to sell you a car full of defects by exaggerating the few good points of the car and hiding every defect. This isn't what you're doing when you go to other teams to inform them of your robot. You are accurately informing the teams of your capabilities.
