That was us (Team 70). It is a good thing, I think, to know who your first pick is going to be simply because you need to begin thinking about the best possible second pick so that you can balance out the alliance with a good robot that both you and your fellow alliance partner agree on.

Although, you're right. I think that going out there and just seeing what happens is quite fun (though you really have to have a lot of lists written out for what you are looking for and what teams are available).
