 This is about more than building a robot, we cannot only do the fun things. If you are fully involved than you will be prepared to do anything in life. - Andy Brockway [more] |

Re: What happened in Curie???
From my experience, seed position has little or nothing to do with how good a team is, it is mainly based on luck of the draw. One of the best teams in Atlanta (the Thunder Chickens) seeded 7th, while other teams almost as good seeded very low. I was at a regional where for a while, the number one seed was a robot that had had not played in a match. The robot was not functional and they missed the first 4 matches. The pairing was such that their alliance won those matches w/o them, therefore they were seeded #1. By the end of the quals, they were the 6th seed and chose 2 more teams.
This is my biggest complaint with the seeding system. When a non-functional robot, one that has missed all of its matches is the #1 seed, there is obviously a problem |
