The scheduling thing is a funny thing--us South Carolina teams used to go to other events as a warmup for Palmetto, but now that they're Week 1 that's blown wide open.
At Orlando, there are only five teams that have competed already this year:
624 (Alamo, Champions, Chairman's, 10-0, 1st seed)
1772 (Palmetto, Quarterfinals, 6-3, 12th seed)
1876 (Palmetto, Quarterfinals, 9-0, 2nd seed)
4451 (Palmetto, Not Picked, 3-6, 53rd seed)
4901 (Palmetto, Not Picked, 3-6, 48th seed)
I haven't seen 624 (I suppose their Alamo run speaks for itself), but all four Palmetto-going robots were running pretty well as they were bagged. 1772's has been
in good hands since Palmetto, and I know 4901's going to use a lot of that withholding allowance with improvements to the loading mechanism on top of a solid truss shooter. 4451 surely has an ace in the hole to get back to the finals (you never know what's going to roll out of the garage!), and while I don't have a source on 1876, they're right there on the beach and can't be
that worried about anything.
