Thanks for the vote of confidence, but most would consider us an underdog since we did not win in either of the regionals we competed in. I think the Bomb Squad is the favorite in the Einstein division.

You also overlooked a very strong and proven 2-goal robot in the Archemeides division - team 469 easily won both regionals they attended. Whichever one of the many strong ball bots gets to pick 469, will be favored.
I really have to agree with Raul here. In the eliminations, team 469 made all of the other robots in their two regionals look like weaklings. And that's not to say that the other robots were weaklings, becuase the fact is that there were some amazing robots at those regionals.


My best memory of 469 this year came at the Great Lakes Regional. In one match, two great robots with TONS of traction and pushing force squared off in the eliminations (I can't remember the two robots right off hand). Prior to the match, I had no idea who to pick as the favorite. Then, one of the two teams absolutely dominated the other team to win the elimination round. Then I realized that this team would play 469 in the next round and I thought to myself, "wow, this team appears like it can beat 469. This should be a great match coming up!"

Then in the next round, 469 made this team that I thought would give them a run look like they had no traction or power whatsoever. It was amazing. Here's this team that had all this traction and power and ability to dominate a great robot in the previous round was made to look totally inept by 469. Believe me -- 469 is that good. They are my favorite to win it all.
