Even though I will be in St. Louis this weekend I can't wait to see how the matches in KC turn out. The one thing that I know for sure is that the finals are going to be insane!

I'm really impressed by the analyst's information gathering skill. I hadn't heard many of the things he mentioned and I don't remember my team releasing our robot strategy either. Impressive analysis every week, thanks for doing the research for us!

I really don't know why I didn't see that coming.

Greater Kansas City
Since 2009, at least one defending regional champion has repeated their victory at GKC.

One of the most under talked about aspects of the regional. :p
Greater KC is a low key, super intense event (Though imho, the past few years at MCC haven't been nearly as great as having it at Hale Arena) KC's gonna be insane this year.
Side note, I also recently found out that regionals are apparently not normally 60 team events. GKC, how you spoil me.

Wait, did I miss something? Clearly our strategic analysis of this year's game was way off -- we didn't even consider a bench grinder. :ahh:

Arkansas Rock City
2015 Winners/Finalist Teams Returning- None
Really loves roller claws- 3937
Really loves polycord- 2338
Swerving over everything- 16
Unique concepts- 3310
You see, here at Gear it Forward, our design philosophy is "If it doesn't work, try adding banebot wheels." Robot can't hold a tote? Try adding banebot wheels. Prototype chassis can't cross the moat? Try adding banebot wheels. Don't want the bumpers to drag up the tower wall? Try adding banebot wheels. However, we decided to reach out of our comfort zone this season with polycord.

Surprised no one is talking about this.

The BBQ and corn dog lines at Championships are getting really long. The mentors don't really have time to be bothered with the matches.

Man If LF's predictions were any more on point I'd be afraid.

No, you give the lemons to Citrus Circuits. We need those lemons to build robots, got to keep those juices flowing.

857 would definitely be excited to have a blue banner, but I know it won't be easy.
