Re: "Random" match Schedules

We were at the Pacific Northwest Regional in Portland. We immediately noticed that we were up against 360 in every round and they were almost right next to us in the pits. I think it is very unfair and short sighted that FIRST has decided to seed the rounds like this. This was so pervasive at PNR that it had to be intentional. There were many other vets teams in this position.

In the past at our home regional in Philadelphia we were never able to play with many vet teams because of this "random" system. I know we all go out to win and 360 was a very good competitor, but going up against the same team means you may get to exploit something you may find with their robot. This is really un-fair.

I guess we need to let FIRST know this is unnacceptable. It seems to me they are striving for political correctness instead of competition. Looks like someone doesn't think this is important or understand what we are doing here. It's actually pretty sad.
