And 548, who made a big splash in Michigan last year, is coming out to play. You can't say that none of last year's success is going to blow over to this year. If any of these teams build a robot like last year's then the whole game is blown wide open. And this is ignoring the mid-tier teams that are also at GTRE.
If any year is going to change that, it'll be this year. All it will take is for someone to seed higher than 1114 or 2056. It's a tall order, sure, but there are teams here that can do it (heck, 188 came this close to doing it in both 2009 and 2010). And if it does happen, all bets are off.

Yes this is definitely the year it WILL happen. I have been taking to other teams that are going to GTR West with us, (we arent going to east or waterloo) coming up with strategies and helping each other out with the designing.
188 is probably the 3rd best team their. 1503 is right behind them. there are tons of teams at the 3 Ontario regional that are highly competitive. All that needs to happen is get 1114 and 2056 apart, then game on.
