Lastly, with the large gap between events, many teams will have had good opportunities to iterate (something I imagine was much more difficult for teams who were in their second event week 3.)

All true. We did struggle making major changes to our robot, mostly settling for minor upgrades and a small wedge on the back of our robot for the portcullis. We should have some nice improvements for Athens, but Kennesaw will be great in the meantime.
I'm excited to volunteer there and get to watch a bunch of awesome matches. Another team that I'm looking forward to see at Kennesaw is 1002. They have a pretty nice bot this year, picking up the #8 seed's first pick at Albany, but struggled with communication issues. If they can figure some of those out, I wouldn't be surprised to see them do well, even in a very good field.
