I agree with the first prediction, but disagree with the second two.

After watching the BAE (Granite State Regional) semifinals and finals, I'm guessing most elimination scores at CTR will range between 50 and 120 points before penalties.

And when it comes to shooters vs arms vs herders, effective and consistent robots will dominate. That depends as much on their method of trackball acquisition and driver skill, as the mechanism used to make the trackball score.
