343 has always been a team to watch. From my view it seems that this year may be one of their strongest robots in recent history.

1319 always comes very close to having a blue banner in their pocket. Their performance last season was very good and I wouldn't be surprised to see that high level of play from them again.

2059 also has been consistently a high performing team and seeing their reveal video for this year leads me to believe they will end up in a top seeded position.


3489 always builds some very solid machines even winning the Peachtree Regional as Captain of an alliance in 2013.

900 though not as SC team wowed us with a very innovative strategy last season that ended with them winning the North Carolina regional.

1102 has not missed an elimination bracket at event that they've attended in the past 4+ seasons with the past two years leading them to alliance captain positions.

2815 though having a dry spell recently still holds a standing record number of blue banners within the past 5 years.

Finally both 4935 (NC team), and 4901 were rookie season regional winners last year at Palmetto and Orlando respectively.

LF knows all.

plus:
343 hasn't been the same since before 2010. If they have a good robot this year, that'll mean they're finding their old self again.

1319 is coming to the southern classic regional over Palmetto this year.

I'm sure 900 will have a good robot this year too though.

We'll see how 2815 does, but keep in mind they hold a lot of banners due to the Billfred effect

We'll see how both rookie teams do, but also keep in mind they were both 3rd robots on their alliance (Not taking anything away from their achievements last year, but I don't think you can say they have the potential to win the event based on that).
