I feel your pain, Patrick; we have a robot (Juggy) that was 2nd at the 67 team Great Lakes regional, went to the semi-finals in Chicago, and has since won both the Western Michigan and the Indiana Invitational tournaments. Not too shabby, eh? We make a great partner as Juggy was designed to win elimination matches, not seeding matches; we are only a moderate scoring machine but we can score those 1st 2 balls very fast and fight like a junk yard dog up on the ramp. We had teams of students at nationals approaching every top 25 team, handing out fliers and explaining our strengths. We only seeded around 50th and,of course, we didn't get picked at nationals. It is small consolation to have dozens of teams tell you afterwards: 'Wow! We can't believe that nobody picked you guys!' I guess the safest way to the finals is still to go heavy on the offense.
