Believe it or not - The past two years' games could be "underminded" so that only one, dominant robot could win about 90% of the time. I know a lot of you will disagree with me on this one, but it is obvious - just look at Beatty from 2002 and Wildstang from 2003. Both of these teams dominated the game in their respective years, but they still needed a partner to do some basic operations.
This year, I believe an alliance will need to consist of two very strong teams if they plan on going a long way in the finals.
What do you think? Can one robot dominant this year's game... again?

Very good post,
I agree with you 100% the last 3 years could really be dominated by one robot.
This year I believe that the qualifying matches, you will see matches that will be dominated by one robot. However as the elimination matches roll by, no one robot will be able to completely dominate the game. It's just too hard for a robot to do everything at once. Also I believe that there are multiple strategies to win this year, unlike the past 3 years where you saw one main strategy winning (2001: Everything at once, 2002: Goal domination, 2003: Ramp control). It will be very interesting to see how the first week of regionals turns out; from there you will see a lot of teams set their main strategies.
