I guess good scores give off a good reputation.
There were multiple reasons why we picked 272 over some of the other amazing robots at FLR (20, 1126, 365, etc..).

1. 272 was capable of scoring with anyone, as proven by the 5 hurdles they had when we played with them.

2. I did not notice any major reliability issues they during qualifying matches.

3. With the schedule change, and only having one qualifying match to evaluate on Saturday, 272 was the only elite robot (including 67) that really performed well.

4. We played with Team 20 in a previous match, and we were concerned about two arm bots getting in each others way while trying to hurdle. It seemed like an arm bot/shooter combo would be easier to coordinate.

From what I have seen from videos of week1 and the FLR regional, week2 was on par with week1 in terms of elite machines on display. It will be interesting to see videos of some of the other regionals from week2.
