There are too many good robots

There are too many good robots and too many regionals to pick just a few dominant robots. This year is not like last year, where Beatty-Hammond was obviously the dominant team to beat.

I can claim to be probably the only person to see 469, 71, and 60 all play in regionals... and I will say that they can all be beaten. Sure, these are awesome machines... but they can each only control 2 goals consistently. Now that the ball collecting robots are getting better, having control of 1 goal can win.

Also, with regard to power... there is more than just a handful of teams with power, so naming only 3-4 teams is just silly. We shall soon see who has power and knows how to use it. Since the upcoming Championships is the final fling of this year, many more teams will be giving it all they have and leaving more robot parts on the floor. So, some teams who have been playing nice up to this point may start being more aggressive.

Andy B.
