If any alliance is to break 300 points, it would be this one.

I don't think the world champion is going to be the one to slip through the draft...

I want it to happen, though, so I can see that score break 300.

I was referring to 3130, but if want to talk about 2481, then the teams above them (in selection position) are 195, 330, 118 (all slam dunks), 33, 179 (high scorers with climbers), 217 (tall robot, plus climber), 67 (also excellent), and 4587 (who has a two-ball auto). While I'm not saying 2481 is definitely worse than those teams, it wouldn't surprise me to see them fall beneath each of these teams.

So close on qual match 20.... There is no reason the software couldn't have swapped 20 in qual match 20 with 33 in qual match 22.

To me, it looks like the teams with the best combination of good robot and good schedule are, in no specific order, 2056, 1241, 67, 179, and 118. I wouldn't be surprised if the top 8 includes all 5 of those teams.

I wouldn't underestimate 330. Though they aren't the absolute fastest scorers, but they are probably one of if not the best poachers of 2016. A skill that isn't wildly talked about that isn't easily measured. The pressure they put on that secret passage can be a deal breaker.

Oh certainly. What I see, though, when looking at their schedule is that they face a bit of an uphill battle - Q66 has them against 2590/16/118, Q89 is against 67/503/3683, Q41 is against 4587/3130/217.

I predict we're gonna see a very interesting top 8 that has at least 3 big surprises - based on the predictions I've read in this thread.

[Whatever]

Since I have spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at this I figured I might as well share.

Other close calls on palindromes:

Qual match 9 - 20/1310/2502 - Would need to fly in 525
Qual match 33 - 624/3130/33 - Needed 330
Qual match 48 - 1640/503/461 - Needed 20, 330, 3130, 1310
Qual match 62 - 45/3015/5254 - Why did 25 have to drop out?
Qual match 67 - 179/3130/71 - One number off (1619 is in qual match 68)
Qual match 81 - 1746/868/71 - Not quite the right order
