I think he means 7 distinct stacks of 6 totes high.

Correct, 7 tall stacks= 7 stacks of 5 or 6.

To keep the thread on topic, I'll post my prediction...
(Purposefully leaving out 3rd picks - there's no way I will be able to guess those)

Seeding:
1) 2826
2) 1023
3) 118
4) 1114
5) 2056
6) 624
7) 1730
8) 1325

Alliances and Results:
1) 2826-118-234 (F)
2) 1023-1114-330 (W)
3) 2056-1325-4039
4) 624-33-2468 (SF)
5) 1730-16-67(SF)
6) 1310-2338-316
7) 195-503-233
8) 548-469-1640

Your predictions are my favorite so far (you could make them better by changing the "W" and the "F")

tell that to the magical looking forward guy... Besides the whole 2826 declining thing, sounds alright to me

Top seeds:
1 2826
2 118
3 624
4 1114
5 1023
6 2056
7 1730
8 1756
9 2122
10 67
11 2468

Results:
1 2826 118 1619 (W)
2 624 1114 195 (SF)
3 1023 2056 548 (F)
4 1730 2338 1218 (SF)
5 1756 3130 1640
6 2122 16 330
7 67 1310 233
8 2468 107 1625

2826 gets top seed with their auto and consistent teleop. Picks 118 for their strong landfill abilities and consistent step auto. 1619 stacks a lot. Highest-scoring auto period and highest-scoring teleop period of any alliance.

624 gets second with consistent strong teleop performances and a consistent auto. 1114 has put on their regional pullers and landfills for this alliance. 195 stacks a lot. 1114 goes too ham in semis, putting this high-scoring alliance just behind the third seed.

1023 is ridiculously consistent in everything they do, hitting their 20pt auto every match of the event. 2056 landfills extremely well and runs their step auto. 548 now makes 6-stacks and will perform well with their improvement. The consistency of this alliance will get them to finals, but 2826's auto and 118's greater landfill potential will not allow the 1023 alliance to keep up.

1730 makes 3 6-stacks from feeder with a strong 20pt auto. 2338 runs step auto, uses ramp tethered to 1730 (thanks weight limit) to stack from HP. 1218 landfills. Consistency gets this alliance into semis, but lower scoring potential does not allow them to advance.

1756 returns to their long ramp, running their strong 20pt auto and doing 3 6-stacks out of the feeder. 3130 makes their pullers work for IRI rules, landfilling 2 full stacks consistently. 1640 stacks a lot.

2122 and 16 both have strong can pullers and 20pt autos, but I think 2122 will opt to pull cans while 16 runs their auto. 330 stacks a lot.

67 uses their step auto, with a stronger teleop than they showed at champs. 1310 runs their auto and manages the landfill. 233 stacks a lot.

2468 struggles to form a competitive alliance, as the only captain without either can pullers or a stack auto. 107 resolves their 20pt auto problem with consistency in auto, and stacks out of the feeder. They get lucky, pulling 1625 off the back of the draft, giving them both a landfiller and a strong step auto.

Going to have to check with programming team to see when they created our 20 pt auto routine

Additionally, 16's 20 point autonomous was not very consistent in Carson. But I could easily see them showing up with a workiing routine. They are the Bomb Squad after all.

Agreed, given the depth of the field at IRI, I expect to see many teams with post CMP improvements to their robot's performance. I also expect to see at least one match with 8 6-high stacks...with five of them capped and noodled.

I think that it's possible to have 7 capped since each alliance is guaranteed 7 cans if at least 1 team has 2 can burglars.

Or 1 claw that can be used twice

Will 1741 be able to do that at IRI. That would be great to see.

7 capped should be a fairly frequent occurrence. The distinguishing feature will be how many are noodled given the likely congestion near the hp stations and the presence of ramps.

Let's see how wrong my predictions are

Seeing that 1114 and 179 are landfill bots, it would be interesting to see what would happen in that situation. 2826 would just do their own thing off in the corner.

We did that at Newton in almost every match.

179 is no longer a landfill robot. They made around 2 six stacks from the feeder at bayou.
