: Personally I never would rely on what people have told me when it comes to picking a robot. I would go from what I have seen, and what I know would be a good match for my teams robot. Not that its a bad thing to try to shop around your robot, but its also extreemly difficult to deal with them when you have much work to do in the pit.

Somewhere else in these forums, some people commented on the expected growth over the next few years...with more and more teams at the competitions(especially nationals), it's my opinion that the teams that individually perform well, but are lower in the rankings due to poor alliances, are those that need to do some form of advertising. For the powerhouse teams that have a regional win or two under their belts the current season, everybody pretty much knows who they are already, so they don't really need to go around and hand out information that tells everybody what they already know...however, for a lower ranked team that has performed well individually(for example, winning a match with a broken ally), just passing that information along early enough(the end of qualifying is too late) to a team that is in a position to select an ally for the elimination matches may cause the higher ranked team to take a closer look at the other team, and possibly find a good ally in the process that they may have otherwise overlooked.
