I couldn't believe that 358, the Robo Eagles, did not get picked in Galileo. I expected them to be off the board before my team. They won a regional, almost won another. They were ranked around 16th (second highest seed not picked). I watched a couple of their matches and they were dominant, capping corner goals over top of defenders. That was a lapse in scouting.

237 - sie-h20-bots - watertown, ct ... <3!!!!
25 - Radier Robotics - New brunswic, NJ... <3!!!!!

*a lapse of scouting in our division *Galileo* was a HUGE understatement... i honestly can not belive how many teams went untouched espically in the 2nd round!!! for some part i do belive its newer teams who were never in this situation at nationals and having to scout 80+ teams let alone 40+ at a regional =/

I'm gonna narrow my ramblings down to the teams I know of...

Team 386. They're the other Harris Team... one of my favorites... 'cause they're the team I would've been on if I still lived in Florida...

Team... arg... 1547, Where's Waldo. They've improved a whole lot since we've first seen them, and they're one of my favorites too.

There's my second post... no one can say I just posted once... (This is for record on the people who've been bugging me to post... which I'll do more often... s'what I get for being bu-... I'll stop rambling)

60 - why they weren't picked, I have no idea. They would've been a steal in the 2nd round of picking in the Curie division.

They were good, but I can see why they werent picked. They were only capping 1 or 2 per round and attracting alot of defense.

Even so - it is team 60. They had a great robot this year, I saw them in Vegas and they were stellar. Even if they were only capping 2 or 3 per round, they still had a great robot and I'm surprised they were not picked.

Team 228.. had our scouting team known their arm had a basic part break and that they fixed it, Gus would have been on our "very good" list and would not have questioned that pick at all. Just miscommunication from the pits to the scouting team who was supposed to make the call.

Team 228 was going to be our 2nd pick, unfortunatly I had 5 missed calls with 2 messages from the scouting team saying "Take GUS, TAKE GUS, TAAAKE GUS if teams 71, 233, 322, and 179 are taken".. I eventually heard that message this morning at the airport.

Unfortunatly for GUS I answered the phone the 6th time it rang and was told differently assumeing the whole team knew what was going on (which nobody but the kid who called knew I wasn't going to pick GUS until too late)..

Our or archimedes: I think we should've gotten picked (not to sound selfish)
I was really surprised when 1251 wasn't picked. They're a real good team and should've been in the finals.
I was surprised when 233 didn't make it to the finals

When we were decididing who to pick there were never any doubts in our minds. We knew we wanted 217 and 766, it was all about how to get them. The Chickens were the obvious first pick, and when our scouting team talked a little with some of 217, Paul Caprioli chirped up, "Have you seen 766, they're from California and I don't think anyone's ever heard of them. They're pretty good" That sealed things there. We had origianlly started talking to them to propose 766 to them.

The long and the short: In Detroit our first pick was 217 and we won. In Sacremento our first pick was 766 and we won. Not a hard decision.

I was only surprised a little bit when they didnt. Merely because the power of that Arch #1 alliance. None of the Arch alliances were as overpowering as many predicted, but that one had a decent shot at the championship (they gave the newton alliance their only loss of the eliminations).

And for teams that didnt get picked:
122 and 401 were both stellar bots who won VCU. 122 also was a finalist at Annapolis.

team 201 the FEDS. They had a good robot, but didnt get picked.

[JohnnyB]

I'm disappointed 301 didnt get picked by anyone. They dominated the home row for us in Detroit

I agree.

237 probably should have been picked too.
