#4 114(6) takes 2035(16)

new #5 4159(7) takes 599(18)

#6 1280(8) takes 4135(15)

#7 668(9) takes 2073(24)

#8 1388(10) takes 2551(17) and then 2144(19)

#7 1868(50) ?
#6 701(32)
#5 3250(4)
#4 115(51)
#3 1662(22)
#2 692(28)
#1 7669(31)


Don't ask me why 115 and 1868 made it into the finals except for friendship and the realization the number 1 seed was truly unstoppable. I think 971 and 1678 could have put a potato in as their 3rd pick and still have won. As a matter of fact they pretty much did score double their opponents in one match where 766 was stuck on the field.

As we learned, this game is NOT about rankings, there were a lot of good robots at events for Aerial Assist that were not in the top 8. Because of the amount of teamwork this game requires means that you need good alliance partners to win matches. But as long as you can prove your robot's functionality, your robot will be picked, regardless of your ranking.
