Re: Standing Up During Competition...
Here's another way to think of it....
If you stand during your whole match, that's a potential large group of teams behind you that can't see your robot perform. And that means they may not realize how good you are in the event they get to pick in alliance selections.. this is especially important for those stealth underdogs who are amazing but aren't of a well-known name or are suddenly much better than they were at a prior event....it's related to scouting, but there are many other team members in the stands that contribute to scouting discussions when the time comes..... just a different thought.
