I don't see much difficulty placing the pieces on the rack in the desired locations (they aren't moving this time), and just a logo on the top rack adds up to 36 pts by itself. Three robots should be able to transport at least 2 pieces each in the time allotted. That's 72 pts. That doesn't count any Ubertubes or minibots. Of course, that assumes all the robots are capable, which they never are. Therefore, my predictions are as follows:

Michigan: 70-90 points per alliance
Everywhere Else: 50-80 points per alliance

If you're wondering why I'm saying Michigan will do better, just take a look at the 2010 stats. Plus, I'm from Michigan.
