Thanks. Everyone likes complements (me especially ;-)

I have been thinking more about this and I think that it may be a very cool aspect of the game. Suppose just before we got the match started, you revealed the predictions? It would be another thing to motivate teams to do well to "prove em wrong" as well as something to kill time during a time out.

Imagine if there was an iphone and android app to allow teams to enter data about there robot -- "just got our hanger working" "drivetrain whacked" etc. I am thinking about some sort of Twitter/Facebook/Hot or Not/Google analytics mash up that would let teams track the various players on the chess board.

It would be a huge effort, but FIRST IS ALREADY a huge effort. This would be building in a new direction.

I also have been thinking about the "Second Chance Bracket" idea.

I think that is probably worth a new thread. Stay tuned...
