Re: Predictions Week 3: Fighting for Position
The only real predictions anyone can make are the predicitions of robots you have already seen in action. You can make a case for any team that has built great robots in the past will produce great robots this year, but there is not a single bit of evidance that will point to any team that hasn't proven it's ability yet as a viable contendor for any regional.

The best hurdlers around can not compete without another exceptional hurdler at their side. This was seen very much in NJ when 1114 was blocked constantly. They would have lost that match if it wasn't for the shooting power of 1024. 1114 could have been shut down in an instant if it wasn't for their partner.

Put both of these two together and you have the following: Not a single robot can bring a team to victory, and any team who has a proven record of getting things done are the only teams that are going to shine and pick/get picked.

idk, my reasoning kinda sounds like blabbering. haha
