I agree. Last year, if you guys remember, 1114 and 330 were the two highest-ranked robots in FIRST by the CD community. Both were in Curie. 1114 lost one match, which dropped them down quite a bit in rankings on the field. 330 was second. A lot of people were afraid of what would happen if they got together. The first seed dealt with that situation--1114 declined, as did 330. #1 seed proceeded to beat 1114 in the semis. 330 then beat the #1 alliance and went to Einstein.

Oh, and in the one match that 1114, 330, and the eventual #1 seed were together--they had a battle of it.

Anything can happen.
