UNC Asheville's Wild Ride

[Moretti]

Asheville definitely was a wild ride. There were a lot of close matches decided by really small details: One robot on an alliance who weakened the tower had one wheel on the carpet (so they didn't get an extra 30 points because of that), A high goal in the last 20 seconds decided a match, you get my point.
The 24 team list was definitely awkward during alliance selection, I talked with a team who purposefully went for a middle-ranking position so they didn't get one of the last picks. In the future, the playoff bracket should be reduced or more teams should be encouraged to join.
