THIS. I fully expect 5172 to make it to division finals at least

I fully expect 5842, the rookie team we worked with at South Florida, to fall under the radar and get picked up late to make a stellar alliance. They're built to play solid defense, and can work a ball starvation strategy if needed. If no one picks them it will be sad :/

I had the pleasure to meet team 125 and see their bot at Arizona North this year, and they have improved a lot since then. I fully expect the Nutrons to do really well this year. I'd also be on the lookout for 2122 and 1011 as well. Both Tators and Crush are strong low goal bots, and both could have a deep run on the right alliance.

These are my predictions for the top 2 robots on the winning alliance on each division. I think Hopper will be able to take it all.

Archimedes Division:
1671 - Bird Brains
1986 - Team Titanium

Carson Division:
610 - Crescent Robotics
973 - Greybots

Carver Division:
359 - Hawaiian Kids
1114 - Simbotics

Curie Division:
1983 - Skunk
3230 - PrototypeX

Galileo Division:
987 - HIGHROLLERS
3683 - Team Dave

Hopper Division:
971 - Spartan Robotics
1678 - Citrus Circuits

Newton Division:
118 - Robonauts
254 - The Cheesy Poofs

Tesla Division:
33 - Killer Bees
2056 - OP Robotics

I think the most likely candidate for winning this year has to be whoever comes out of Newton. I could see 254, 67, 1241, and 118 as the top 4, pairing up in really any way (not to mention the host of other top tier teams in the division that could eclipse them). Any one of those pairings will be very hard to stop.

Just division finals? I would be mildly surprised if they didn't make Einstein Finals.

1678+971 is our next world champion.

+1

I would love to see 971 get back to Einstein and win with 1678. IIRC, 1678 took them out in 2014 in division Finals.

Something will have went very wrong if these 3 are allowed to be on the same alliance together!

With how deep Newton is it wouldn't be shocking to me at all.

I'd say the same thing about 254, 111, and 973. Or 25, 180, and 16. Or 118, 1678, and 1671. Things go very wrong!

5817, for rookie teams to watch. They could be in the top 5 rookies for sure, and I wouldn't be surprised is they won RAS at champs (they've won it at 2 regionals this season)

[djperry1009]

These are my predictions for the top 2 alliances and the winning alliance on each division.
Archimedes:
Winners: 1986 and 4039

Winners: 3824 and 610
Finalists: 233 and 973
Carver:
Winners: 2481 and 1114
Finalists: 330 and 359
Curie:
Winners: 2848 and 25
Finalists: 1983 and 3230
Galileo:
Winners: 987 and 195
Finalists: 1023 and 3683
Hopper:
Winners: 148 and 971
Finalists: 1678 and 1538
Newton:

Archimedes: QF : 1986 1501 980
Carson: QF :973 2771 2202
Carver: SF : 1114 359 20
Curie: QF : 3310 876 4061
