Do not be faint of heart!

As long as spelling doesn't count (or perhaps Reigonal is just a funny Canadian way to spell it, eh?), I wouldn't make any assumptions about anything. Plenty of underdog teams without mega-sponsors or cadres of titanium welding, fancy shmnancy machine shop jockey engineers and machinists have performed well at the competitions. Three engineers and 30 students is a lot more than some other teams have. A great game playing strategy or slick driving can conquer the most complex machine. We were able to completely stymie the Delphi juggernaught at the Mid-Atlantic regionals two years ago, with about the same resources you have, and wound up as finalists there. And, you're right about the -40 temps (was that centigrade?), those southern 'bots will just shatter in the cold. Go get 'em, ya hosers!!!
