The smartest ones will, at least.

Yeah, we were 11th seed at CMP once, and didn't get picked. That was actually an excellent lesson for us: We were a good robot, but there's this thing called "Strategy"...
Back to the OP: Some teams take factors other than performance into consideration, but not most. An alliance captain has a duty to the rest of the team to actually win something, and not harm those chances by selecting someone who can't perform. But, if they pick a 'deserving' team when all else is equal, that seems good.
