Last call for bold predictions before competition begins!

I think you will see a few things develop over the next few weeks.

1. I think as scoring of boulders increases and inbounding becomes something that you are forced to do as boulders come in, instead of as your alliance needs them, you will need to have a presence in the secret passage to keep the enemy from short circuiting their cycles and easily running up the score. Therefor, defense will be critical and will be something you see on 6/8 elimination alliances at every regional up until district championships and Saint. Louis.

2. Tall robots will be the landfill robots of this year (a bit biased... but looking at #1, congestion issues at the batter and in the courtyard in general, and ease of manipulation of category A and C if you built tall, etc.)

3. Least bold prediction: Climbing will be much more like in 2010 than 2013.
