Well the first thing I notice is that the favorites from the last couple of years 118 and 341 are not in the mix making the race wide open. This year alot of "old warriors" in FIRST are getting thier just rewards and definately are at the top of the favorite list.
My pick goes to 45 the Technokats who were finalist in '94 and '96 and haven't had a sniff of a Chairman's since. Their good works are ledgendary and they are one of the greatest example of what is so great about FIRST.

Note: If you are going to toot your own team's horn feel free to do so but you have to tell us why. Not just because they're great. There's 32 other great teams here so that's a very weak reason. Build us a case why the team is great not just because you feel your team is being neglected.
