Re: Team update 16
Week one is a great time to compete. First of all, it allows more creativity in playing the game because nobody has seen it played before or played it themselves. This means that there are no prior strategies that have been known to work, nobody has had extra time to perfect their robot, and that everything is equal. Think about last year, how many teams in week 5 converted to dumpers rather quickly at the competition? They didn't do this in week 1 because nobody knew at first dumpers would do better. In 2007, did people know how to defend around the rack very well at first? No, they learned it from studying matches and experience.
Also, to teams asking for an incentive to choose week 1...the above is that incentive. It's a pretty big one in my opinion. Sure week 1 has drawbacks, but it comes out about fair with the rest in most years.
