I think it was an excellent strategy to get the three goal grabbers. strategy in the finals are definitely different from that in qualifying. that's what MOEHawk and Sparky were built to do (as well as any other three goal grabbing robot). I will say this for our team; we were seeded fourty first in qualifying matches and were still picked by the number one seed. personally I thought that some of the lower ranking teams had better matches than the higher ranking ones. also, of what I saw, a decent number of lower seeded teams got picked for elimination rounds. as a note for teams that have yet to go to their first regionals, don't rule out any robot because they're low in the seedings, sometimes they cash in big time when it comes to shut out matches. anything can happen in elimination rounds, so look at all the robots at a given regional and consider everyone for picking.

p.s. we did find out why spare parts are important
