I do not believe that 217 will still be available for the #1 seed to pick as a second alliance - they're way too good. Don't be surprised to see them picking in the top 8.

They were the second pick of the top alliance at MSC.

No offense to the teams in Newton(mine included) but MSC>Newton when it comes to pure depth of talent.

Oh, I'm well aware...our alliance was beat by their alliance in the semi's. (They were actually the 2nd pick of the #2 alliance)

I say that they won't be a late 2nd pick (and may even be picking) since I watched their robot improve the entire weekend at MSC and proceed to play very well in the eliminations. The only reason they were a late 2nd round pick was because of the depth of the field there. You can overlook them if you want - I will not make that mistake.
