Observations after week !

Scouting is also exremly important in this years game. You must always know what teams have a good robot. At midwest everyone pretty much got a good first pick. but come 2nd pick some teams looked like they where digging deep trying to remember the number of the "one bot" they saw.

Ranking doesn't mean anything if you don't have a chance to be a allaince captian. stuff happens during the qualification matches that could drop a team out of the running to be in the top 8. Ill use my team as an example. at the midwest regionals we finished with a record of 2-6. but because team 135 had great scouting and didn't care that we where ranked 47 out of 53. They saw that in the beginning that yes we where not working right and had really bad luck. However we stabalized and where consistanltly a factor in our final 3 matches. They picked us and we then went with 135 and 2039 all the way to the finals. Long story short just because a team is ranked badly doesn't always mean they are a bad team.

Thank you 135 for picking us to be on your alliance it was a great experience
