Highest Seed not Chosen for Finals

2003 Championships my team was ranked 16th out of about 70, and we were not chosen for alliances. That was the year we had won Great Lakes too.

What was?

Anyway. I went and checked the details. We were 15th out of 73 in the Archimedes Division, and weren't picked, but I can imagine with 73 teams to scout it wouldn't be difficult too miss something. Especially because that our the first year in blue (as opposed to yellow in previous years) and first year as the hammerheads.

We were seeded 22 at the Hartford UTC Regional, and a Rookie to boot. We WERE chosen as an alliance partner in the quarter finals. It was a thrill and an honor!

Our machine was very dependable, it worked 14 out of 14 times. As rookies, we just had to improve our driving and strategy, which we did by taking cues from our alliance partners.

We scored an average of 22 pts per round, only 3 points from the #1 robot.

For a veteran team to choose us, a rookie team, was an honor.

Hey it didn't matter.
It didn't matter because no one was going to beat the 111, 469, 65 alliance. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm just playing. That really blows though that you didn't get picked. I liked your guys robot.
