From memory from Wisconsin:
2194 played almost exclusively in the close zone and seemed to really drive well with the mecanum wheels. Not much of a kicker, but their good driving allowed them to be one of the better close zone scorers.
2826 played mostly in zone 3 and zone 2. With their big kicker, they were easily able to clear balls from the far zone. I don't recall them playing much in the first zone, meaning they will likely need good partners in order to score and thus seed well.
My prediction of the event: If 1714 gets on an alliance that can get balls to the close zone, they should be the heavy favorites to win. Chris is correct that if they only play in the close zone, they better hope for strong qualification partners to feed them balls if they want to seed high. On the bright side, there appears to be several teams that would compliment them very well (525, 2062, 2826).
