Even though I will be in St. Louis this weekend I can't wait to see how the matches in KC turn out. The one thing that I know for sure is that the finals are going to be insane!

Re: Predictions Week 2: Scaling Up the Competition

I'm really impressed by the analyst's information gathering skill. I hadn't heard many of the things he mentioned and I don't remember my team releasing our robot strategy either. Impressive analysis every week, thanks for doing the research for us!

Since 2009, at least one defending regional champion has repeated their victory at GKC.

One of the most under talked about aspects of the regional.
Greater KC is a low key, super intense event (Though imho, the past few years at MCC haven't been nearly as great as having it at Hale Arena) KC's gonna be insane this year.
Side note, I also recently found out that regionals are apparently not normally 60 team events. GKC, how you spoil me.

Wait, did I miss something? Clearly our strategic analysis of this year's game was way off -- we didn't even consider a bench grinder.
