Like they said. Anything can happen. 548 may fall down the list for being a primary fender shooter. That being said, if they can get their key shooting up to the level of a bot designed for key shooting (like 469, 67, 1114, etc...), that may not happen. But great robots have a tendency to not get picked early on at IRI. Only the best robots get picked early on at IRI.

For example, 2016 last year. Number one seed and winner on Archimedes. Fell to the last pick of the regular draft (second pick of 8th alliance). It's not that they were bad. They were amazing. But at IRI, amazing is good and perfect is great.
