Last year was the first time since 2002 that an all Canadian alliance has won this event. Will the trend continue?

And ironicly, it was the biggest year ever for an "American Invasion" of the GTR. With the number of American teams visiting the Great White North drasticly reduced this year (
), I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the GTR return to its 2003-2005 roots with an American team on the winning alliance.

My second pick is one I have not said enough good things about over the years. They have been a Great Team for years and years. Honestly, they have not always had the best robot on the field but I will tell you flat out, this is a team that GETS FIRST down to their DNA. I have to give a shout out Delphi E.L.I.T.E. They were Finalists in Pittsburg. They were Champs at the Buckeye Regionals. I expect great things from them in Toronto.

Thanks, Joe. We have our work cut out for us - we are but a tiny defensive island in a raging sea of offensive juggernauts. It'll certainly be a different (not necessarily more) competitive atmosphere than Buckeye.
