The 2nd choice must go along with the 1st choice. Choosing 3360 would be useless if we didn't choose 4950, and vice-versa. We took a bet since 4950 was our top choice for the 2nd alliance selection round: they were low in the rankings, nobody really cared or paid attention to that team, and they were the perfect fit for 3360, so we were pretty sure nobody would draft them.
4950 was the perfect fit: quick inbounding with a simple gravity-powered mechanism, capable of precisely dropping the ball for 3360 rapid picker, and playing defence for the rest of the cycle. 4950 was overlooked by almost all teams. They were way better than 3360 or us, 3990, and they did perfectly what they were built for: inbounding/assisting.

The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. - Mark McLeod [more]
