This isn't smart, but meh..

Archimedes: 175 (drivers), 233 (experience), 254 (their ramps-- killer). 254 with a solid partner to help take some of the heat off (233's a good pick, psst) will dance their way through. If they are carrying the alliance, then forget about it.

Curie: 1114 is on deck this year. And of course 330. But if they falter, then it will probably be to 48. 1114 and 330 are my top two picks, but the question is-- given the opportunity to ally, will they make a good alliance? That is, can they work well together?

Galileo: ugh. My love is 56. I love that robot. But, 217 is solid.. and people aren't (IMO) watching 25-- they could *gasp* slide under the radar, then run circles around everyone.

Newton: 148, 696, 1124. 148 is *this* close. This close: ||. Solid execution will give them the gold.
