Re: The Update, it fixes nothing! (AKA: why is everyone so excited about Update #16?)

Here is the thing - in Elimination matches, 6v0 is thrown right out the window.

Here is the other thing - First Seed could build an Alliance of themselves, the second to last ranked team, and the last ranked team and still win the competition - As long as the two teams a seeded team picked can do the job of scoring more then any other robot alliance combination on the field, then whatever you were ranked means nothing. Ranking could hurt you more then help you. This is something I discovered in my first year of FRC.

It doesn't matter what your seed is, if you want to be a part of a winning alliance, you need to prove that you can win games, not win 6v0.
