968 is actually 7-0. There was a penalty that was miscalled in one of their matches, which resulted in a loss, and was later changed to a win. 701 should also have an extra win, and no tie. The rankings do not correctly reflect this.
987 has been doing really well. They can pick up the ball extremely fast, and can "launch" it by reversing the rollers on their claw, which allows them some extra space to lower their arm before going under the overpass. Their hybrid mode reliably knocks off one ball, and does 2-3 lines.
330 is very much like 987, but with no autonomous mode. They have had some back luck (losing to 987 120-104, partners getting 40 points in penalties, and losing to 968), but they are clearly in the top 3 robots here.
701 is doing very well also.
968 has had 3 matches where they were non-functional, yet managed to pull out wins. Two matches they had radio problems due to some aluminum chips shorting out the OI. A collision with the side of the field in hybrid ejected their battery from the robot and caused them to be inoperable for a third match.
1717 is also doing well. They have an extremely quick roller pickup, and have a pretty speedy elevator. I've heard they've had a couple issues with tipping today, though i didn't see them myself.
Match 72 tomorrow will likely determine who gets the #1 seed. 1717 2042 and 987 play 968 1266, and 1622
