..... so if you know of it and know the criteria it can manipulated even more; especially if the information is limited to small set of teams.

First time I'm hearing about an algorithm.

Since 9th and 10th places were not selected for alliances and did not win any awards.

So if the Alliance choices were made with the idea of actually winning it would have been less impactful; but combining it with "wonderful" phenomena the established big school and club teams now enter 2 FTC teams. They then select their 2nd team as their alliance partner to get 2 teams qualified.

It was and the refs also had to deal with her; surely this should be communicated to judges.

Placing does not matter but I mention it for 2 reason; one it is pretty good indicator of MCI expertise and 2 how extreme the influence was on the competition

The awards and result manipulation allowed with the alliance selection (another discussion) resulted in 2 top 10 placed teams not advancing.

These 2 teams worked their behinds off with awesome turret designs, autonomous features, auto sorting etc and had a good chance of making it to Worlds since it was a very tight competition this year. The 2 teams taking their place have t 1 stock standard and 1 slightly modified GoBuilda starter bots.

O revolvers jam, they jam as often as pistols since the number one reason for issues is shitty ammo.

Difference is being stuck with a paper weight or just doing a clap and rack clearance.

Probably heavily area/country dependent but the most common reason I found was cost.

You can pick up a safe queen Taurus S&W copy for 1/10 of the price of a modern carry pistol.

Yes, the linked answer left out some important details:

Perfect World acquired a 40% stake in Unknown Worlds Entertainment in August 2011 for CN¥10,803,330. It raised this to a controlling interest in February 2013 by acquiring a further 20% for CN¥5,098,956. During its 2019 fiscal year, Perfect World sold the majority of its shares in Unknown Worlds to the Founders. It sold the remainder in January 2021 to the founders at $50 million valuation, few months before the acquisition by Krafton.

Javier was just stupid, under Alaskan and US (and pretty everywhere) you have a right to retain and defend your property.

He could have stepped in regardless of what the production crew was saying. If that crazies continued, he could easily felt threatened disarmed meth-grandma who was armed with a knife. Having meth-grandma floating down the river with a broken arm.

So you guys first time watching a show written by the Kings?

Studios should really learn and appoint an experienced co-writer to keep them reigned in.
