Seems to me that Bill & Tom are both right.

I agree with Tom in that the top seeds (in order) should have the right to pick the team (teams)they feel best compliment their robot & give their alliance the best chance to win.
I also agree with Bill that we are there to have fun and to compete the best we can. I agree that side deals & lots of rejections aren't in the best interest of the competition. I trust the top seeds to know what they need to do well. If they decide OUR robot gives them the best chance to win, great! They earned the right to pick us, regardless if WE feel that a team seeded after them is a little better. WE would be honored to be chosen by ANY team.
If we finish in the top 16, then we have earned the right to be choosy & pick our ally. If not, then we haven't earned the right to choose our partner - and we would be honored to be chosen by any of the top 16.
So to agree with Tom & Bill - let the top seeds pick the alliances with no rejections, instead of the teams who didn't finish 1-16 getting to pick the alliances. After all, Bill is right. We all go to Florida for the experience, the competition, & to have fun. Making the elimination round will just be a bonus and a great experience we would ALL love, so why worry so much about which team you are with. We should all be happy to get there & to have the chance to win.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! See ya at Epcot,

Jason
