Go to Post Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! - dtengineering [more]

This does make it harder, however, you can still play the game in the way you designed your robot to play. Demonstrate your best despite your alliance partners.

A good team with good match scouting will notice. Teams planning on being top seeds are having to look deep to discover the teams that will play in a compatible way with them, this is frequently a robot not in the "top 24".

Make sure your team is as honest as possible with pit scouts on Thursday, good teams confirm with match scouting the information given to the pit scouts. If there are a lot of inconsistency, this gives a poor impression.

Instead of advertising to them what your team does, ask them what they are looking for in an alliance partner. This tends to be a good conversation starter. Start the conversation early on Friday. Ask your self honestly, if your team will fit, if not, look for another team that could be.

Saturday morning is crunch time for the scouting teams, and they made their pick lists on Friday night, and spend Saturday confirming their thoughts, and filling in blanks. It is difficult to get your self added by then.
