but the one team my scouts placed as the number one contender to win the regional, after analyzing a 3 inch thick binder of data, was team 612. When they put up a triple digit score in Qualification Match 2, everyone at the event knew that they were the team to beat. Because of a servo-shifting problem with their supershifters, they were unable to capture the #1 seeding spot, but still formed a very threatening alliance that averaged 123 points per match in elimination rounds.

Exactly what I was thinking of 612. Excellent robot. When they paired with 2630 (which I honestly thought would be picked sooner than 3 - they lost the 3 games they did 'cause of some communication issue, and when they played, it was really goodlike you said above) I was pretty sure the alliance would at least make it to the finals.
Shame 2630's robot stopped working during that 3rd SF game. It was only 6 points at the end, and their robot proved that it could score consistently (they were defended well too, not sure by which robot, but it did a great job).
All said and done, 2630 were already guarenteed to STL after the Israeli regional. Shame 612 could not make it. They really had a good robot. One of the best in DC this year... I felt like they deserved to go
And at last, congrats to the winning alliance. They were impressive all through the elim's. Well done also to all the other teams going to STL, if through awards, or if through WC. HAVE FUN!!
