Re: Predictions Week 4: Bash Fests in Boston, San Diego & Waterloo. Big Scores @ Buc

Hey Joe I think you have a few things to learn about us Canadian teams, we know how to score and score alot. Look at the list of offensive bots at Waterloo this year:
1114 - we all know how good they are
2056 - very similar to 1902's design, amazingly effective.
1503 - these guys know how to score, and great crab drive
854 - best omni drive system I have seen, very good pickup, good scoring, and great ramps
188 - once again solid bot, good scoring and good ramps
1305 - great drive again, slow but effective arm
1901 - solid scoring bot
2166 - good ramps
2076 - good ramps
773 - good ramps
(those were just the good Canadian scoring bots there, and thats 1/3 of the regional)

That's not to mention the defensive bots that we always produce. Canadian teams know how to build solid drive systems, look at; 1241, 1006, 1305, ect.

GTR will be a very offensive regional, the stats may not be high in the qualifiers as Waterloo's but there will be more good offensive bots there. However as usual the overall quality will not be as high because of the larger number of teams. Once we get into the elimination rounds each team will be stacked with great robots that can score at will. It will be a fun event!
