It's quite difficult to make a judgement on the whole however, when I, like many people, only really have a strong knowledge of regionals in my area.

My lists for a couple regionals were definitely a bit biased since I know the local teams/powerhouses better.

Not to mention, if 148 had come to Waterloo this past year and 1114's canburglars were better, then the two probably would have paired up.

I'm sure 2056 is up to the challenge and excited to fight for another regional win this year at Waterloo.

I agree. The presence of 148 will shake 2056's chances of continuing their win streak. We definitely can't make accurate predictions now since we don't know what the game is and what their robots are on a competitive level, but we can guess. Regardless Waterloo will be a fun regional to watch!
