I'm fairly confident in all of those first pick guesses.

Teams are eliminated on einstein in order of can grabber speed.

What if the picking robot IS the fastest can grabber in the division?
I'm not saying I disagree with you, I'd probably still pick the next fastest can grabber, but there are other options. If I were 1114 and I had the fastest can grabber in my division, I might pick 148 for the pure scoring they offer.
Also, teams on Einstein might choose to forgo the direct can battle in favor of a 2-2 split of cans. Anything is possible. Maybe some of these team's can grabbers break and they lose to an alliance with a slower can grab.

I also really like to root for the underdog (I'm one of THOSE people that thinks serpentine drafts are AWESOME).
