Well, this regional is gonna be a nasty one, thats for sure. I have already dubbed it THE Regional to be at this year. As for my favorites, based on what I have seen so far, and what I know of teams, here goes...

Based on Robots I have Seen...

236: The Technoticks look absolutely nasty this year. They have breakneck speed, and were probably the only team at UTC who I saw that could stack fast enough to be effective.

176: Aces High will do well with their drive system alone! Not to mention the always useful in many different ways, articulating arm. Aces was a powerhouse on top of the ramp, with the only team able to budge them at all (and I don't think they really even got them off the top) being RAGE.

190: I think Gompei will be a very good contender at this regional. I like the drive system they have, and the strategies I have seen them use.

Based on Robots I have not seen...

42: Yes I realize this is my old team, but I also realize that if PARTS puts any semblance of the robot they had out on the field last year they are going to do extremely well. They could have taken that robot, shipped it on day one, and probably would do well!

88: I put TJ on the list for one reason...River Rage. How they defeated 121 in the finals is alot of what I am expecting out of this competition this year. If they have a strong drive, which i know they will, they will be a contender.

319: I have no basis for making this pick other than the fact that I really want to see these guys do well! I doubt many people remember Alton's rookie "Flying Pig" back in 1996, but ever since that robot, I have been a big fan of these guys!

Of course...anyone can take the competition this year, its nearly impossible to predict the outcome. And also I think there are a few teams in there who will suprise many, including myself. Either way, it will be a great competition.

Cya On Thursday!
