I'm really hoping 148 makes it on to Einstein this year.
Pink's three-tube autonomous seemed like a practice-only kind of thing. It doesn't seem like we're going to be seeing it at the champs, but if we do, hey, there's something for the record books.
217's been laying low this year, I haven't really heard much
from them, just from all of their fans. I can't really say how I think they will do at champs, but I can only hope they can live up to the rest of Newton. (which I'm sure won't be a problem!)
Overall, Newton this year is shaping up as an awesome contender for Galileo on Einstein.
