It is even better. We were ranked in the 30s Friday night. We won our matches Saturday and wound up 14th and we felt we would be picked. We were not really prepared to choose two teams but as the selection process went on, we realized that we may wind up in the eighth spot. Karen and Jerry were doing all kinds of analysis with her program and she sent in our first pick, but because we were eighth, we had to immediately pick our second ally. Within seconds Karen and Jerry signaled in the third team that would give #1 alliance and the vomitsaurus (meant in a loving way! It does regurgitate in a rush) from Sierra Vista it's only loss. Scouting made the difference because we had data about the strengths and possible weak points of the #1 seed and chose allies to exploit their possible vulnerabilities. However, no strategy could overcome some most fantastic robots!
