Predictions Week 2: Strategic Ascent

Team 175, Buzz, was in the finals at GSR, and they had a ground intake. They rarely used it, though.

Glad to see (a) Looking Forward back, the writing this year is really good and the predictions excellent as always. Good luck teams in week 2!

Also, how do you know 1114 doesn't have a ground pickup that we just haven't seen yet?

I saw them testing it on the practice field before eliminations, and it didn't seem to be picking up very well if at all. Anyway, they definitely never used it in eliminations so it was as if they didn't have a floor pickup.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
