Right after the qualifying rounds, I thought FIRST would allow the teams to go to lunch and recover a little bit so that they can be more prepared for the elimination rounds... but turns out I was wrong.

At the end of the last match, FIRST called a representative from each team to the main stage, and called up the top 8 seed and immediately ask them to pick the partners...

Two of the alliances seem to be unprepared for this, and as we were picked by the 3rd seed, we were caught off guard and did not know which partners to choose, neither. We managed to get through the selection, but it was an extremely stressful experience. We feel that we would've been more well-prepared if we had a little time before the selection...

It should mean no harm to FIRST's schedule, and it will only improve the over quality of the alliance, making the competition more interesting...

So, I seriously hope in the up coming regionals FIRST will allow a break before team selection, which will only help the rookie teams as well as the veteran teams to have a more enjoyable experience, while not reducing the challenge of the competition, only making it tougher.
