Scouters - what do you look for when you scout?

Anyone have any reasons why 2nd round picks seemed pretty bad this year?
Thank you for your kind compliments.
As you said... there were MANY great robots on the Curie field and we were very proud to play with and against many of them.

From my experience, what could have happened ... did happen.

I think that the alliances did a great job at picking the strong performers.
That was certainly evident in the GREAT matches played in the elimination rounds!! I think one of the most difficult things to do in all of FIRST is choosing partners for eliminations at the Championships...

Coming from so far away...we don't get a chance to see these legendary teams very often. We feel very fortunate to have been able to experience the World Championships for our first three years in existence and we tried very hard all weekend to help our alliances win in the qualifications rounds.

Congratulations to the Curie winners!! We cheered them on during the Einstein matches and were happy to see them make it to the finals.

We will be back...
