They would have pushed around the multitude of fender bots, and I could have helped guide them through overall strategy since they would have been defending right in front of us. Yet as 3rd seed we wound up picking a robot with a variable-consistency mid-goal autonomous that was (amazingly) still available.

So I agree with Adam -- it had everything to do with robot performance vs. our needs rather than the fact they were rookies.
Hey there's always St. Louis!!
