Serpentine draft adds an aspect to FIRST that the regular draft doesn't. Teamwork. The reason that the 8th seed won at Atlanta was that they used tremendous teamwork and each robot performed as well as it should have.

As far as this year's game, the first two robots in an alliance are providing a majority, if not almost all offensive points for its matches. This game however does require a lot of teamwork to get the balls in the hands of the top robots and keeping traffic jams to a minimum.

I like the serpentine system as it also adds a bit of suspense for spectators. I think spectators getting interested is a good thing.
