After 2826, I think 2481 is the favorite to win Wisconsin.
At Wisconsin, I also wouldn't forget about 3940 (climber-dumper with an 18 pt auto), 1716 (slot loaded, accurate pyramid shooter) and, as a deep sleeper, 2039 (tall, full court shooter).

I agree with you especially about 2481. Wisconsin is going to be interesting this year because there will be
so many elite teams. We could end up seeing eliminations where the top 3 or 4 alliances each have two insanely high caliber robots (for example, 2826 +2481, 111 + 71, 16 + another breakout team). I honestly don't know if we have seen any elims of this depth yet this season. I also anticipate some 30 pt hangers being possible third picks for lower seeded alliances.
I think 930 is notable at the Wisconsin Regional as well.
**1716 will be bringing some improvements to WI which will include a faster redesigned shooter and a fun defensive weapon.
