Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

One thing I might add please:

It is also up to the lesser performing robot's team to show the higher seeded and dominant team how they would be an asset to an alliance. The robots aren't always they greatest thing out on the field, but a lot of teams get picked because of their ability to cooperate with other teams and strategize in order to win. A lot of teams I know don't know how to showcase those specific abilities, which, in my mind, is also a huge component in making a winning alliance. Take 177 on Archimedes and 1124 for example. 1124 trusted 177 even though their robot wasn't the best out on the field because 177 knows how to work with other teams and how to communicate as a highly competitive alliance. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that its not just up to the top 8 seeds to select their partners, it is also up to the lower seeded teams to "sell" and market their team to those certain top 8 teams. Just something to think about...
