Re: Galileo 2009

No question that if 67 and 71 team up, they will be hard to beat.
However, lets not forget 71 and 1114 at Midwest this year, beaten by a well-rounded 8 seed. I think what's more important is who they would pick as the 3rd alliance member. 1646 in that scenario would be the key to that alliance.
With a deep field this year, I'm not so sure an 8 seed will be as successful like in the past, 7 vs 2, etc. #1 seed can still create a well-rounded alliance.
I dont think defense will prevail as much as in regional play. There are just too many offensive scoring machines in this division.
During seeding matches, scouters will have to identify those machines that dont really score and adjust their strategy then.

In '08 you only had 2 trackballs for 3 teams and no one really shared the trackball in hurdling.
In '07 you had the deadly bonus rampbots and an 8 seed could pick the best one out there.
