In Reply to: getting picked for finals...
Posted by Ken Leung on 03/27/2001 4:09 AM EST:



There are a few teams (notably Team 71 and Team 254 --
5 and O in Regional Play -- unbelievable!) that will
rise to the top no matter what partners they get.

For most of the rest of us, it is likely going to be
very tough sledding. Luck is going to play a huge role
in who gets to the top 4 slots of each division at the
Nationals.

Between the luck of having a partner fall over on the
ramp and the luck of having several tugger/balances in
a single match (only one of which will be in charge of
its destiny) there are going to be a lot of teams
feeling that luck did them in at the Nationals.

I wish us all luck at EPCOT.

For what it is worth, in my view, in the six years I
have been playing the FIRST game, the outcome of the
Nationals has never been in less doubt while at the
same time, the correlation between a team having a
great robot and a team's likely finish at the Nationals
is as low as it has ever been (with certain exceptions).

As I said, good luck to us all... ...we will need it.

Joe J.
