TIPS:
191 The Xcats have had a season that does not reflect their overall achievement. They are a Hall of Fame team, and in addition, they have a Great robot. If they stay consistent, finalists in the division at least.

229: Ever Since JVN left 229, people have started paying significantly less attention to them. Watch for them during alliance selections. They will be an alliance captain and will shock many. Their platforms may come in handy to.

237 is going to be picked up by a good team and will make the semis at least. Their roller is too good, and driving under D will be easier now that they've grown a little more accustomed to it.

540 will fly under the radar a decent amount. IF they can stop themselves from winning my too much (no wraparounds guys) then they will be in the top 12 ranks. They need to play a longterm game though, and keep the low profile that they enter the dome with.

703 will not get past semifinalist unless they prove themselves strategically more (setting picks, stopping spoiler attempts, using their ramps well).


LOCKS:
1902 has a nice schedule ahead of them. The algorithm will make them very very happy. OINK OINK BOOM on einstien.

Stop the presses, its 1251. Something tells me that they will have improved their Ground clearance in some way. Watch for them to be climbing (or be able to climb) more ramps in ATL.

1425 should be capable of being an alliance captain. IF they pick well, they're on einstien.


Scouting will determine the winners of this thing! i guarantee it.


Some popular teams (2056, 25, 1555) will be good, but due to the size of the target on their backs will fall by the wayside. People had better be smart enough to pick them up, or they will be sorry.

I also predict 2 declinations of alliance captains.

Happy Hunting!
Shhh!
Nobody knows we are in this division evidently, do not ruin it for us!
