Re: Do you like the seeding system?

I have a gripe about the system too.

In one case, we watched a robot on an alliance "turn" on their alliance partners. They intentionally started feeding balls to the other team. They did this because they were very close to moving up in the standings and one good seedings score would get it for them.

Through the whole thing, I watched the two somewhat functional bots do the best the could for their team, while the one really good bot proceeded to literally hand the game to other guys, just to up their ranking.

It made me very upset and pretty much highlighted what is wrong with this whole system. There should never, EVER be a reason that you're helping the OTHER team win. Period. I don't care if you call it strategy, or smart play. It destroys the spirit of the game.

(Not to mention hurting the two semi-functional bots hopes to make it to the State Championship, which is based on win/loss).
