Again, 67 would probably be the best pick, but I can still see 148 being chosen as well.
If both teams are playing at the same level they did in the regional season, I think choosing 148 over 67 would be foolish. I have no doubt that 67 will fix their reliability issues observed at MSC. Of the two robots, they are the better full court shooter, though easier to shut down with height. However, any alliance playing against them had better have a 60-84" blocker so I think this is nearly a null issue.

67 is a better cycler if they choose to play it that way and their climber is less nerve wracking than 148's and is faster to boot.
