Serpentine Draft

[SenorZ]

Maybe I'm missing the point, but why would the #1 seed team want to allow three or four of the top seeded robots get swooped up before they get a pick?

Pro sports teams trade draft positions for players. And unless there are some sort of backroom deals going on I don't see why a top seed would want to chose from a smaller pool of alliance partners.

You get your 3rd earlier. I'd be a fan of a pick-your-poison draft order.

Maybe the 5th top seeded robot is just as good as the 1st, but the 20th is significantly better than the 24th.
