I don't understand why people feel the need to make predictions from an anonymous account. I make predictions all the time and I'm almost always wrong. It doesn't reflect poorly upon me or my team. Predictions are harmless and fun. Generally when making predictions you're talking teams up anyways, so I guess I just don't see the point of an anonymous account.

As for the Minnesota predictions I generally agree with the top 5 teams as listed. I think the predicted results are a little generous. I'm not sure how high most Minnesota teams will be drafted, but I would suspect there will be more second round picks than first round picks. 5172 will probably be the first non-2 ball auton robot taken on Newton if they aren't the one picking.

3130 has a great robot, and a great drive team. 2052 is elite every year, and deserves way more recognition than they get. 2502 and 2175 will both make a playoff alliance, but it'll depend on how they're performing for how early they go. If both are on their A-game, they'll go in the first round.

Some other great teams to note are 2220, 2883, 3102, 3042, 4536, 4607, and 6175. I think any of these teams can make a playoff alliance with the right strategies during quals. It'll be interesting how things work out. I would say it's more likely than not that we have another Minnesota teams on Einstein.
