Re: Is the qualification match robot randomizer really "random"

I'm not saying this is fixed, im just trying to say that the computer that picks the alliances should be more fair. Take for instance the last qualification match in Philly. 304, 2558, and 2559 were paired against, 1640, 1712, and 381. 304 was on an alliance with 2 rookies, one of which had to e-stop their robot a few seconds into the match. Meanwhile, they were against 2 hurdlers and a racer. What im saying i guess is that the best way to work this out would be to have an alliance like 365, 2558, 304 VS. 103, 2559, 84 (providing enough of each tier robot is available). I guess the algorithms would need to be tweaked in that case...

Thanks for all the responses in this topic!!
