The thing to do is to keep doing your great job.

As to who would notice, well, LOTS of TEAMS!

Everyone knows that there is not a great correlation between a team's rank and a teams desirability as a partner in the finals (and the correlation gets worse the deeper into the rankings one goes -- in fact I would go even further and say that with the current QP system a team at the very bottom is actually more likely to be desirable partner than a team about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom -- but that is the topic for a different message).

Given that everyone knows that straight ranking is not a good method to pick partners, most teams have scouting teams. These teams are not looking at ranking but other things. In our case we have a list of features and capabilities that is totally separate from qualifying points or even winning.

So...

Buck up. Capable robots get noticed. In your case at the GLR, you were overlooked. Sorry. Chalk it up to bad luck. Your luck will change if you keep doing the right things.

Good luck.

Joe J.
