Re: Who's gonna win 2007 IRI invitational

So i finally decided to look at the dreadful list of competitors that are going to IRI. I compiled a list of the top 15 (in my opinion) teams that are going.

71 - Never bet against beatty. With there lose on Einstien this year its hard to think that they don't want more.
330 - The best robot at the Championship. There drive team knows exactly what to do and when they need to do it.
1114 - Do i need to say anything about these guys?
148 - As many people have said, i will say again. This team is the best team not to win a regional this year (they should have 2 regional golds)
190 - Can't deny that these guys are good. They are world champions. Those monsterous looking dual ramps and that arm are a nice little combo
1902 - This team doesn't look like a 2nd year team. Every match they come out and know what they are going to do (does it help there coach has been on Einstien a few times)
254 - If there is a team that i would ever bet for against beatty it would be the poofs. There robot is engineered perfectly, and there drivers know how to use it.
233 - World Champion Finalists. hmmm, great auto, great robot, great drivers. going to be yet another great showing.
67 - always a solid robot as they showed at the championship. watch for some good improvements.
234 - one of very few multi-regional champions this year. They came up short at the Championship. I'd like to see these guys go pretty far.
177 - The other World Champion that is at the event. You can't deny that these guys earned there spot at the championship, and what better to go with a championship and an IRI win.
48 - Great robot, and great drivers. they are going to be in the top of the big dogs.
1251 - This team can score. I'd watch for them to put up 4 or 5 a match (keeping up with the rest of these guys)
45 - hmmmm... scoring, scoring, scoring... thats all this team knows how to do.
2056 - this team is a rookie? They are 2 for 2 at regionals this year, and had a pretty good showing at the Championship for a rookie team. This team could just be that dark horse everyone is talking about.


So this is just my list of the top teams in my opinion. If all of these teams don't make the elimination rounds im going to be shocked.

But then again it is IRI so who knows whats going to happen.

***Thanks Sean for pointing out my mistake***
