I just don't know. It's going to be an extremely interesting championship to watch, with the strongest robots from the regionals coming together to form wicked scoring alliances or ridiculous defensive alliances (or perfect alliances, with a mix of both).
I agree that what you are starting to see in the regional elimination rounds is what you will see at Atlanta (and I'ts going to be really fun to watch, and participate).


@ Tom Line

I didn't have to see the Detroit regionals to see how rough things can get. Here in the NorthEast strong defense is the norm. I fully expect defenses (and offenses) to get even stronger as the regionals (and championships) go on.

and it'll be glorious.
