so does that mean 3 robots go on to the next competetion??



thanks for all the help! oh gosh today is the last day to build good luck!!
(and thanks the nemo link!)
The number of matches that count will very depending on how many teams are there. Smaller regionals you might get 10-11 matches, while bigger one you might get 8-9 matches. For picking for the elimination rounds it goes 1-8 and then 8-1. The #1 seed can pick anyone they want. If they picked #2-#8 seeded teams the team selected has the option to decline.

Example: Team #1 picks team #3. Team #3 says no to team #1, with the chance to pick for themselves, and team #1 picks someone else. Team #2 cannot pick team #3.

Now if some one out side the top 8 says no, and doesn't move into the top 8, they can't say yes to anyone else.
