Alliance Captain versus last pick in Alliance Selection

[Rman1923]

So if I were in a regional system, anything, absolutely anything to go to champs. And once at champs, totally would also go for the win. The reasons are different though.
I want to always qualify for champs to meet other teams, check out the robots I've been drooling over since reveal day, and enjoy the atmosphere. Honestly, the only competitions I care about getting first place at are regional and DCMP levels. Those are the ones that qualify you for champs. Like this season, North Brunswick (Week 6) felt like an off-season for me cause we qualified at TVR through EI.
At champs however, the reason I want to win is for sponsors. If you do well at champs, you can outreach to your community, to schools, and to sponsors so much easier. (It's cooler to say that your robot was third in the world than to say we were the 4th best robot on one of the eight divisions at robotics world championships and we made it to X in that division). On the three years I've been on this team, I don't think we've had a busier summer. With this kind of experience, you can turn even a 3rd pick team (which, btw, is still nothing to scuff at) into an Champs Alliance Captain (given you've got great mentors and students).

TL;DR: 1B&2B all the way except if you're at a District event, then 1A&2B. Reason for 2B: Sponsor Support in the future/ better outreach
