2011 Alliance Selection Results

[Brian Ha]

Our team was considing picking 3536 as one of our partners, but us dropping down to 7th seed then up to 5th seed didnt allow that seeing as u guys were second. I was very impressed by what you guys did and have seen that you guys stayed with what you guys had said at the one strategy meeting that i cant seem to remember where it was held

[Coach#3536]

Thanks Brian,

302 was on our list as well, picking was a huge stress for us. We are going to Waterford and scout to practice the scouting picking cycle. As rookies we watched matches closely for matching play strategy. But the end game of alliance picking was serious chess play that we want to practice. We want to learn and be better prepared for alliance if we are fortunate to be anywhere close to that again.

We hope 302 would still consider us if it ever comes up again. We look forward to the next time we meet either together or against. By the way 3536 saw you at Baker College Strategy meeting. Thanks for acknowledging what we said at Baker. Not everyone there agreed with our strategy if you remember. It was hard to hear some of the comments that challenged it. We went back and scrubbed the game play to rationalize the criticism. It was hard but we decided to stick with what we said were going to do.

We feel stongly that we are a team that stands by our words.

If that strategy was to focus on a consistent minibot rather than a manipulator, I would say you were rather justified. 2nd Alliance Captain as a rookie is not too bad at all .

[Coach#3536]

Thanks Norman.

The Bees are pretty incredible. To hear from your team on our behalf is an honor! We really respect what you guys do!! Those bots you brought are true cool no doubt.

Tell Jim "the Ninja" we took his advice and have a kid are tossing tubes everyday now. We will be ready if we get another chance to play the role with you guys again.

Yes we said strong agile Defensive bot with a Minibot. Having a good time playing the role. Good luck next round to all on the bees.

I do realize that you're probably just quoting what you've heard, so no worries.

My apologies, updates for Kettering were extremely sporadic, with the final qualification results not even posted until after the competition was over. I mainly made sure teams were listed on the right alliances but highly doubted 27 was actually a 3rd round pick.

It looks like FIM's website now has posted its own list of alliance picks for Kettering and TC. From my cursory glance, it seems to line up with what's been posted here already.

BTW, the Peachtree regional is held in Duluth, Georgia. Food for thought when referring to either Peachtree or Lake Superior.

I was confused when Brian referred to Duluth before and I was thinking Georgia wasn't this week.
