To respond to some different posts:

Since people have already starting making some predictions, I'll post mine. I'm predicting that 16/67/1592 will take the division. 16 and 67 both are fantastic hurdles and 1592 is an all around solid robot that can fit many different roles.

I agree that 2337 is the real deal. I heard a lot about them and saw them boot the ball over the overpass, but I thought they were just a one trick pony and because of thier cool method of hurdling, they were getting too much attention. But after scouting them, I was cleary wrong. Not only are they one of the most fun teams to watch hurdle, they have a good hybrid, good knockoff and very good drivers. I usually don't like a rookie's chances getting into eliminations for the Championship, but these team have a fantastic chance.

To the numbers that Greg posted, they show how wide open this division is. There are plenty of teams that have a legitimate chance at getting the number 1 seed.

There are also a lot of sleepers. One sleeper that I haven't heard anyone talk about is 2171. I think many people see their high number and just dismiss them right off the bat. Unlike 2337, they don't have the flashy hurdling so they tend to get lost in the suffle. They were the top seed and eventual winner in West Michigan, so they have proven they can win. Once they get in a roll, they are deadly, and I doubt they will face much defense (atleast early on). While they may not be on the top line, they are a strong team that will fly under the radar and may be a favorable schedule away from capturing a high seed.

A second team that could suprise is 501. In watching thier matches, they showed flashes of greatness but other times was just good. If they play as well as they can the whole time, they could be a major threat.

Whatever happens, it should be very exciting!
