Maybe that is why team number 1 finished first and number 2 finished 2nd and so on and so on and so on all through the finals.
I dunno. Personally I've never had my team play defense based on anything other than scouting data or, at Atlanta / IRI, prior knowledge of robot capabilities. I don't see why people wouldn't be gunning for 51 or 68's back the entire event... I know at IRI I could never find the rankings but still knew who to "D up" on.

Was the serpentine eliminated? If so, there's your answer.
