Agreed. One year, can't remember which, 1766 made it in the top 8. Not saying we weren't good, but we were definitely not one of the best teams there. This was somewhat due to pit scouting and the fact that we had an awesome driver (the bot was ok that year) but mostly it was luck. We ranked highly because we got lucky on alliances. If it wasn't for that, we would have ranked around 20. The opposite happened this year. 1766 had a pretty good bot but had some bad luck with teams for the rankings. Never really much of a chance to stand out and had a losing record. However, this years bot was 10X better then the year we got to choose our alliance.
