We built a pretty solid robot and found ourselves in last place by playing defense well. I personally don't like the scoring system, confusing and anti competition. We will definitely look at working across alliances at the next regional. At the end of day one, with a winning record, we found ourselves near last place because we shut out the opposing teams a few times playing good defense. Good defense in qualifiers returns bad rankings and no selection.

It is a little difficult to convince the teams that are selecting that your rankings are bad because you played defense well. As an example we went up seven ranking points in a loss at one point. Doesn't make sense at first, but now we know.

Just an FYI.
