1098 has one of the coolest looking "racecars" around... it even looks like a car! The only won 2 matches in St. Louis though, but they did manage to secure a spot on the short-lived #7 alliance. I expect this racecar to have an edge over many in Oklahoma (most are kitbots), and should be one of the first non-hurdling machines selected.
1742, Shockwave, will likely be one of the better hurdling machines, but given the amount of defense likely, they'll have issues with consistency and likely will need aid if they want to add a regional victory to their resume.

Team 1098 thought it was SO much fun to be mentioned in the predictions! We looked at them from the hotel on Wednesday night, and it was a great way to kick off the weekend and energize after a 10 hour drive!
We had a great time in OKC. We were really impressed by lots of the teams. Shockwave was amazing! They did it all, and were a really great group of people. We got to form an alliance with Teams 476 and 2388, and that was exciting. Team 476 is full of kind people who truly go out of their way to make FIRST fun and accessible for all. After meeting them and working with them, it's easy to see that they are definitely worthy recipients of the Chairman's Award. We can't wait to see how they do at Championships. We'll be rooting for them!
There were lots of other great teams and volunteers, and it was well worth the drive to attend, but we'll talk about them on the 2008 Oklahoma City Regional thread.
