I disagree. I think a robot deserves the right to be with whomever it deems most worthy. We changed this rule because we were worried that the top 8 teams may not really be in order of ability (luck plays a huge part due to the small amount of QMs). Say, for example, Beatty gets seeded #8 because they had some tougher opponents than #1 seed went up against. Shouldn't the best robot get the best partner? Don't we want the best three robots to win this thing? If a top 8 seeded team is good enough to convince some other team to reject a higher seed, don't they then deserve to have first pick? C'mon!
You guys seem scared that some "POWER" alliance will be formed with three awesome robots and end up taking it all. But you know what? THAT’S THE POINT! Don't we want our #1 alliance to have the #1 teams?? I say people are smarter than you're giving them credit. This rule lets the best robots have the best alliance partners regardless of seeding (which we've already seen is largely inaccurate). Let the best of the best take home the gold. That's what GOLD means.
Reactions?
