How does that work on Einstein. I would think there isn't a higher seed since it is the winners from all 8 fields. Random draw?

Or whoever is on blue is assumed to be the lower seed. Either way works.

As quoted above, teams can ask to place red-blue-red-blue-red-blue. They must tell the head ref.

But let's go back to the original question in post 4 of this thread. After all robots have been placed, one or both alliances decide to shift positions. This could become a violation G10:

G10 DRIVE TEAMS may not cause significant or repeated delays to the start of a MATCH.
VIOLATION: The offending ROBOT will be DISABLED

Specifically this point in the blue box following:

C. being indecisive about where/how to position a ROBOT or Yellow TOTE

I was going to say no foul in scenario 2 based on teams not being able to force an opponent to receive a foul, but that rule seems to be missing this year though...
