I have to agree. 254+971 would probably blow everyone out of the water. But considering 971 lost three of their qualification matches, the real #2 alliance wasn't a bad one, either.

I was actually talking about 1323 and 971 together but I think by the end of qualifications 971 was playing like the second best robot at the event. They were definitely shaky early on but that's to be expected with the first regional.

I'm sorry - yes, you were referring to 1323 and 971. But, my original point was that none of the SVR selections were "laughable." Sure, some may make you (and I) question the captains' intentions, but, in the end, they were all strong alliances. I was surprised that some teams made a comeback and performed well in the QF/SF.

(I think our posts belong on the SVR thread; we're hijacking this one. Apologies to those who are reading this but have come here for actually useful info.)

Not to offend, but please do realize that in the very first match of the Silicon Valley Regional 971 was up against 254.

Perhaps, since they already went to two districts, they wanted to give other teams a chance to get points for MSC... or maybe there was something wrong with their robot.

This is exactly what happened. I talked to 2612 after the selections and they said that they wanted to give other teams a chance to gain points because they already had enough. It was an extremely gracious move on their part and should be commended.

Team 1528 has worked a lot with 2612 at this event. Even when we were the 3rd seed, they told us that they were not going to participate in the eliminations because they didn't feel right taking points away from others. I thaught this was very nice of them and I was extremely disappointed to hear that they were boo'd for this.

This is a perfect example of why you should not judge someone before you know their story. I give great respect to 2612 (WMD) for them not worry about getting trophies and allowing others to get much needed points. I wish others would look at them and follow in their footsteps when they go to their third event.

1323 knew that their strength was in tube scoring and was looking for a 1st pick with a consistently strong minibot. I'll be the first to admit that 971 is a better hanger than us (although expect that gap to be closed by Championships) but our minibot was probably the 2nd or 3rd at the competition (up there with 2456 and 254).

And I think we gave the Poofs a run for their money.... Especially because they were not expecting our defensive strategy. Their scout captain sent me a text saying "What are you doing?" in the middle of the first match because they were expecting something completely different and it took them a while to respond.

I'm surprised no one has posted the Virginia alliance selections results yet, considering that the event was webcast.

1. 1885, 2363, 540
2. 1895, 11, 339
3. 25*, 1676, 1522
4. 1095, 1610, 1598
5. 122, 1111, 2068
6. 1731,1058, 2386
7. 422, 75, 612
8. 539, 1418, 1086

*25 declined 1885's offer. There were not any other declines that I can remember/wrote down at the event.
