I also would have liked to see more qualifying rounds in Philly. Everyone could see the better teams rising to the top as the matches progressed. However, the "draft" in this years game is the great equilizer. Many good teams never made the play-offs before, but now a smart and well informed top 8 team will be looking at all the matches for the best alliance partner. Every team and every match is important to the outcome of the top 8. Teamwork is the battle cry for this year's game and if some of the rookies and lesser known schools make it to the top, great! Building an engineer's dream robot will not win this years competition. It will be the two teams who work together and understand how two different robots can complement each other. It always takes time to learn how to play the game every year and this year the real game is picking the right draft choice!
Good Luck, Ron Partridge
