I think this will be less "predictions" and more "talking about the teams going". Predicting IRI is a hell of a challenge, especially with this kind of game.

I also grabbed the Chat logs from the window before I closed it out. They are below. I will post the link to the downloadable cast shortly. (Warning, mild language... I would rate this around a PG13)

Just to hit on what Andrew said, if you want to call in, call in. We're not right all of the time - if anything we're just voicing our opinions and if you have a different one let us know.

[Starke]

Thank you guys for putting on this show. It was great to listen in and participate! See you at IRI!

I finally got around to listening to this, great job guys. Somewhere in the middle I thought I heard someone say something about a scouting talk? Can this happen, I'd love to listen in!

Yup I think Chris Picone will probably head that one up.

Yup. If any teams are interested in participating, please let me know. This is probably something a few months down the line.

[Bjenks548]

Hey listening to the cast, 548 was the other team with 74 and 3098 in the 8th seed at MSC. We are going to IRI, so don't forget about us!

[Peyton Yeung]

You guys mentioned not seeing 45 and I'd like to say that for the past 2 years we have had some horrible luck. At BMR we blew up 3 digital sidecars in 2 days and spent most of the competition in the pits. This past year at championships we lost communication and our robot ran off by itself into a minibot tower giving us a red card and that led to another red card. Even though we won those 2 matches we didn't get anything for it. At IRI our 2 main drivers were at band competitions and the backup drivers didn't quite have the experience to put on a good show.
