Thanks,
I always look forward to your commentary each year, though I am waiting for you to stick your neck out with some predictions.

I volunteer in the Media Center at the Championships, so I need to keep track of each of the divisions and help to prepare releases that list results and tell stories.

I believe that an effective defense will make the difference in the eliminations and on Einstein. Littering tubes in feeding lanes and blocking minibot deployment alignment.
Watch for the team with the deploying wings (can't remember the number, but they had a YouTube video) that can prevent tube scoring to make a difference.

If nothing else, just watch 177 Bobcats get picked again as a lucky charm and get their third championship. They have great drivers and effective strategies. Their upset win last year was no accident.

There, that is MY prediction.

Everybody have safe travel and a great time in a wonderful city.
