I would not underestimate 703 at this event.

Team 1688 was not mentioned...

...and I wasn't expecting anything else.

Our chances are minimal at best at this point. Our only hope is a pwnsome alliance.

You'd better check your numbers again. In 2006, Wildstang won Midwest & Wisconsin as well as Midwest Chairman's and National Chairman's.

In 2004, 254 won 2 regional champion banners, 1 regional chairmans banner, and 1 championship chairmans banner. 4 total.

In 2005, 67 won 2 regional champion banners, 1 regional chairmans banner, 1 division champion banner, 1 championship banner, and 1 championship chairmans banner. 6 total.

From watching both 27 and 217 in Detriot they both have my money to take GLR

but good luck to all the teams there, it will be very fun trying to work while knowing that such an amazing regional is being played...though there is always webcasting :D

Re: Predictions Week 5: The Great Divide
 
I personally wouldn't bet on any one team to win GLR, with so many good ones I think that the key to victory will be strategy and consistency. The teams and aliiances that adopt those principle will be formidable against even the powerhouses.

I call 27 and 217 for GLR. It would be nice for RUSH to take a regional. They haven't won one since Buckeye in '03. And if any team can overcome the mechanical demons it is their pit team... Well, ok I am biased but still... I can't WAIT to get down their Saturday Afternoon.

I believe he was talking about REGIONAL Banners.

There are a lot of teams that have won 4 or more banners OVERALL but only 1 that has 4 banners from REGIONALS in a single year.

Unless 69 and 20 get together, 40 will win the Boston regional (with 69 rather than 20 in my opinion).

I'm a drive team coach, they don't eat lunch during competition. And I wouldn't want to add any pressure to 40's great season.

I think 20 could hold there own against 40 and 69 if teamed up with any of a number of other bots.

20 is definitely my pick for best bot/drive team at the regional, I would be surprised to see 40 pick some one other than 20 given the opportunity

How do you know that, unless you commonly post under a pseudonym with the initials 'LF'? The original statement didn't mention regionals, I just wanted to correct it. I completely forgot about HOT's amazing (or maybe even banner year :rolleyes:) in 2005 and the Poof's successes in 2004.
