Go to Post I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points. - pfreivald [more]

I'm sure almost every team would love to be one of the top 8 seeds. For most teams, it's about being in the 'playoffs' if you will, just to prove how good they actually are. I know for us, we would love to be seeded in the top 8 this being our second year. Last year we won the Rookie All Star award at the SBPLI regional (out of 5 rookie teams) and were the last partners to be picked. It was such a thrill to simply be picked, I can remember us running down to the pits from the stands getting our bot ready, and luckily enough for us, we made it to the semi-finals, only to be beaten by more experienced teams, however, I'm hoping this won't happen this year, as we have a much stronger bot that is definetely more versitle than last years. But if we don't seed and we get picked, it will be just the same, just to prove that you actually belong there.

This has been my final thought for today on this subject, goodnight America.
