If it wasn't for a last second decision to change the pick, 148 would not have been picked at the championship (unless I am mistaken, 148 was a last minute addition to 1114's pick list after not making it Friday night). For a team like 148 that would have been pretty big disapointment. That is not to knock 148 at all, but maybe there is a reason they haven't gone that strategy route again.

It is a risky strategy to depend on getting picked as the 3rd robot for a top alliance, especially for teams (like 148) that have the ability to build robots that can be alliance captians/first picks.
