last year, our robot couldn't rack up big points.
but when we got with a good offensive robot, we did the job and we did it well. Just because a robot is in 33rd place doesn't mean it is or isn't a good robot. I feel like you are degrading alot of the students that put good time and effort into their robot when you say that you don't think a 33rd or 17th place robot doesn't have a right to get 1st place with the number one seed. The Technokats had an extremely innovative and powerful robot. But due to the fact that they didn't always get lots of points, they weren't always in the top 8 or 16. But when another team picked them, they got out there and tore up the game. Sometimes a 33rd place robot does belong in 1st place with the 1st or 2nd or whatever seed, it just needs a little help by being picked.
I don't think we will see all of the top teams picking each other this year. Last year was too big of an example for this to happen.
maybe i am wrong? just trying to prove a point. i like feedback
