Stack Attack Myths at National Elims

Myth #1: The alliance who knocks the bins over first wins.
That may have been true in many regional matches but once you get to the Elims in Houston it won't matter much. It's too easy for good robots to push bins back across the field or descore on your opponent's side.

Myth #2: The best robots to pick are the ones with the best autonomous mode operation.
This is a consequence of Myth #1. Having a good autonomous mode helps but, with only one real match to play in elims, the teams that advance will be the ones that make sure they don't get damaged, hung up or flipped over. You can't win the match on your back. That happens alot during autonomous mode for some robots. Also expect human players to be much more adept at interfering with autonomous mode operation.

Myth #3a: Teams that did well at Regionals will do well at Nationals.
Myth #3b: Teams that did poorly at Regionals will do poorly at Nationals.
Don't believe it. We all know of some teams out there that have not placed as highly as they should have. All you have to do is look back at previous competitions to know that there is a different level of play at Nationals than many Regionals. Many teams that advanced at Regional competitions will not make it past the first elimination rounds. Pick your partners based on what you see they can do, not what they have done.
