Daisy is right, many teams have done amazing one year then flopped the next. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
You shouldn't be going by reputation alone, wait until you see some pictures or inventor files before you judge a team.

Wow. Don't you think this is kinda silly? We're guessing based on previous challanges how a team will do. I really think this isn't a good idea.

Harrison has a little shameless behaviour in the past
We certianly can't guess what teams will WIN, but, you can usually get an idea of what teams are able to build competitive robots year after year.

But hey, predictions are never certain.

hmmm.... let's see a few clues...... #1 - YOUR sister team up the road!!!!
#2 - we were ALLIANCE CAPTAINS at all 6 competitions our floor team attended....

also, such teams as 175, 25, 71, 47, etc... that have generally had 'robust' machines are just expected to give others trouble year after year... remember, it can't be fair.

But teams I expect to do well this year?

192
254
71

from what I've seen them do to these games in previous years

So far we're having fun

I must agree with JosephM to a point. Selecting this years winner on past competitions is "iffy".

On the other hand most of the teams I have seen mentioned have another quality which I feel is equally as important....they help other teams. Wander around the pits at any regional or the nationals and the teams having the most fun, usually are the teams who are helping other teams.

Those teams that compete just to win...seldom do. Those teams infected with the FIRST germ always win, even when they lose.

Team 64

PS Never count out the "Bomb Squad"

I seriously doubt 987 will win, but I know they'll do pretty good, as usual.

I'm giving an honorable mention to the teams that were utter disasters last year... including moe. Perhaps this year we'll see the greatest things come from the worst teams

Why do people post their own team numbers?

Wow, we're all shocked you think your own team is going to do well. Honestly, who comes out and says "We're planning on sucking this year." Show a little modesty people.

One team I feel that hasn't been mentioned is 343. MiM was pointed out to me last year (by Chris of 151). I think they are one of those quality teams that for some reason don't get talked about nearly as much as they deserve.

I mean... it almost goes without saying that most of the teams mentioned (45, 47, 111, 254, 60, 67, 68, 71 etc.) will do well. I just can't wait to see how exactly they do it.

And Maczealot:
Why do you consider MOE a disaster? They tried for the ambitious strategy, and built a robot that could successfully accomplish it. In my humble opinion they are far from a disaster. Props to MOE.
