 When there appears to be something stupid wrong with a game (HPs outscoring robots, unreliable loading, autonomous that accomplishes nothing) I shouldn't complain about it. I should see it as a challenge to exploit! - Chris is me [more] |

How Was The Final Robots Chosen?
Like I posted in my old post, I was playing Madden on the laptop in the pit during the whole announcements...
 So how is it chosen? Was it just purely on ranking or did the judges have something with it too? I know the final teams picked some teams too.. I know that some really low ranking bots got chosen.... SOMEHOW Last edited by davidthefat : 04-04-2010 at 11:58 AM.

Re: How Was The Final Robots Chosen?
The top 8 seeded teams become alliance captains. They are the ones who choose who will be their partners. It goes like this. #1 seed has 1st choice. He can pick any team he chooses, It goes down the list to #8. Then the 2nd choosing starts with #8 getting 1st choice, all the way back to #1. The alliance captains can choose any team they want, but only only captains can decline & have the right to choose another team.
Any of the alliance captains can choose a alliance captain after them, They can accept or decline. If a alliance captain is chosen & he accepts, he now becomes an alliance partner & is no longer a captain. Whoever is next in line after the top 8 will become an alliance captain. But if you are not in the top 8 and you are asked to join an alliance you can either accept or decline. If you decline, you can not be chosen by any other team & will not be in the finals matches.

There are many things that will help a team either become an Alliance Captain or get picked by one. I can guarantee that, in all but the most extremely odd situations, playing Madden in your pit isn't one of them. In most situations that is a good way to interfere with getting picked by teams that eventually become the Alliance Captains. Teams' scouts are likely to take a dim view of Madden in the pits. You have the rest of your life to play video games. Time at an FRC tournament is precious. Use it wisely. Blake

Re: How Was The Final Robots Chosen?
Marc pretty much nailed it, but there is one other way.
After the selection process, the top few seeds remaining (up to 8) are asked not to crate up yet. In case of a robot breaking so badly that it can't be repaired in time, the alliance captain of that alliance can call in one of the backup teams--the highest seed comes in.

Re: How Was The Final Robots Chosen?
Really? Four replies and nobody has given the "Read the manual" speech yet? Okay then, I'll do it.
David, I have one acronym for you: RTFM. In other words, read the FIRST manual. In fact, I'll even include the link to make it easy for you. In case you forget, check EricH's signature for a helpful reminder. That is all.
