I disagree with both of these statements. There are definately certain robots that standout above the rest. The top 20 in the World might be close...maybe. I would guess more like the top 5-10. The top 20 in MI are not all equal.

But, even given that... NO robot this year will be able to seed #1 SOLEY based on their robot performance. Any team that seeds #1 needs to have some scheduling luck (there own or others) on their side.

Serpentine or not... I'll take the #1 seed, with an opportunity to select the next best machine available any time! The top 2 machines at a competition and some good strategy should atleast make it to the finals of 95% of competitions.
