Re: Predictions Week 7: District Championships

Great wisdom and insight as always, Looking Forward! Michigan will indeed be especially interesting to watch, with it being such a totally unique event... I happen to think New England might be the most exciting, but I'm sure the eliminations will be quite the exciting affair at each DCMP!

I'm just going to let the cat out of the bag (since it's probably going to be apparent to those in Worcester in an hour or so) but we've been expecting RCs to disappear quickly at DCMP since the beginning of January. Accordingly, we're bringing our own 'Can Theft Auto.' It hasn't been as fully-tested as we'd like, but it seemed to be doing it's job on the practice robot.
