71 - They've already won a regional and seem unstoppable as usual.
111 - Engineering marvel every year. I vote for them just becuase of the awesome factor.

As unstoppable as most people think 71 is, there always seems to be a team that can do that at Midwest. Take last year for instance, if they were constantly harrassed by a robot that was mobile (like 79), they could be distracted. I hate to relive this event, but our alliance was 1 point away from defeating them and 111 in the semi-finals. But I digress, team 71 will, undoubtedly be there... whether they are last in the standings (2004) or first (2005). The deciding factor at Midwest?? I believe it will be all of the rookie teams. Whether they can actually do what they say they can and the team with the least number of immobile robots (seems to be a trend at Chicago) will be at the top. Time to stark packing!!! _Off to WallyWorld!!!_ I'm sooooo excited!
