Go to Post Engineers are not eligible to join NEMO, but that's OK! For us, there is an ad-hoc disorganization, notionally dubbed EMO. Meetings have no agenda and are called at random, usually in the evenings following long days at FIRST events. - Richard Wallace [more]

ya, that was us, 447, that scored 123 in the first match with you guys 1596 and i believe 234, you guys were a really good team, and very nice people to work with

you have to take more into account than scouting when you look at alliance pickings, there are a lot of politics that go into picks, if you are not in the top 8 you have to convince teams why they should pick you instead of the 80 some odd other teams in your division. you have to make good friends and strong "alliances" with other teams to go into the finals

i remember last year, we were in Galileo and we were in 17th spot at the end of QP matches and didn't get picked, partly because we were in a division full of east coast team that we didn't know, and partly because of a very untimely motor burn out in our final match

unless you are one of "The" teams, you have to go out and make friends, sell your robot, sell yourself as a cooperative team mate thats easy to work with, and let teams know your strengths and "compatibility index"

but thats just my six pence
