This year could lead to some great story lines at champs(like always). With match strategy and scouting being at its highest, some predictions are better left a *bit more open. These are just fun predictions and they are my own and in no way are impacted from team 3885. I will probably be wrong on almost all of these, but it is fun to speculate.
A teams from south of the Mason Dixon line will win the WCA.
A full court shooter will win the EI Award.
A 7 disk auton will win the INC Award.
A person from north of the border will win the WFA.
This year has a nice probably of having more International than US teams on Einstein.
My Division Favorites:
Archimedes: 254-469-3245
Curie: 2056-67-16(Yes they could fall this far due to being inconsistent)
Galileo: 118-1114-3284
Newton: 1986-180-3756
A beats C, G beats N, and A beats G due to 118 running out of air.
"My Sleepers": (These teams are not getting talked about enough)
Archimedes: 2590-11-525
Curie: 1983-1918-1421
Galileo: 111-125-2481
Newton: 3476-217-1718
C beats A, N beats G, G beats C due to 111 having too much power drained from their LED's
Of course these predictions will more than likely become completely disproved during next week, but it is nice to guess. Also I have only seen three of the teams that I listed so this was complete guesswork on my part.
