We were amazed they were still available, but then we looked at the other alliances. There were probably only a couple of other 'bots that filled the same role as 1671 in the alliances above us in the draft.

And we had one other very big advantage--both 118 and us had seen 1671 (us twice) during the season so we knew what they could do up close and personal. We knew specifically what problem 1671 was having and that the fix was simple--it helped that they were right next to us in the pits. Knowing all of this would have required other teams to both pay particular attention to 1671's performance before Champs and then talking with them in the pits. That all can be a bit much to expect in a 75 team division. And finally, we felt we could take more of a risk because our prime strategy going into the draft was to rely on 5012 much more. Other alliances may have felt they needed more assurance. So the stars aligned in several ways.
