Re: Highest Seed Statistics?
With only 2 trackballs on the field, the first pick which is usually another hurdling robot is a lot more important than the second pick which is usually reserved for defense or lapping this year. I would assume that it's a lot easier for, hypothetically, 1114 and 217 to team up with Rookiebot for the laps and beat a number 8 seed who got to pick 148 in the second round but had the last pick in the first round for the hurdler. Since the first seeded alliance is probably going to be a strong hurdler (probably) you'll see them pick the other top hurdler 9 times out of ten and make a very strong top seed. I think that makes the most sense.

It would be interesting to see if this was also the trend in 07 and other previous years though...
