This regional is really shaping up to be powerful. Just knowing what's happened the first three weeks of competition, there is a solid group of performers coming to Palmetto.

Just a few...keep in mind I haven't seen everybody so this isn't at all a definitive list...

281 Entech is a fast and solid machine
342 Another solid scoop and shoot design...with bling.
343 I'm biased but it's probably the best robot/team we've had in nine years
1102 They had a rash of bad luck at Peachtree...they WILL be dialed in at Palmetto.
1251 Won Florida, Won Palmetto last year..pretty much win Everywhere.
1261 The Robo-Lions have a solid machine and a great team...another 342.
1319 What can you say...won it last year, won Peachtree with us this year...always solid.
1369 I haven't seen them, but the Minotaurs are always impressive.
1746 Look out Palmetto....here comes OTTO!

...and that's just the teams I know about...there are always great sleepers out there....I can't wait to see some of the other teams.

Best of luck everybody....let's have a blast.
