I agree, for several reasons:

-The divisions have come out extemely well-balanced this year, with multitudes of good robots in each division, giving each division a good chance of forming an uber-alliance.

-Rack 'n Roll is a game that makes it nearly impossible for any robot, no matter how great, to dominate (unlike 25 in '06, 71 in '01 & '02, etc.).

-From what I've seen, I feel certain that Einstein will be determined by strategy and execution, not just being really, really good at scoring. (Case in point: No one predicted the #5 alliance winning at Detroit. But they played a smothering defense with a reliable ramp and executed remarkably, beating numerous "superior" opponents.)

Seeing as all the divisions have an equal chance in my mind, I will now roll a die and declare that this year's champs will come from: Archimedes
