sleepers for nats

[BandChick]

i say it doesn't matter. good luck to all teams, underdogs or not. you never know what's going to happen and you never know what kind of alliances will succeed and how they will fare against other divisions. i wish everyone the same good fortune and the same amounts of fun at nationals, and i hope that, whether or not your team wins or loses you come away with something bigger than a medal.

Shhhhhhh! If everyone reads this it will be like having a bull's eye painted on our robot!

I see the 2003 National Finalist alliance is in your sleeper pick (343, 25, 494). I haven't seen our friends from 25 yet this season, but would agree that 343 is strong again.

You are very kind with your comments. Thanks.

I'll have to agree there. We paired up with them at the MWR finals...and I don't think I've seen many robots that are better ball collectors or cappers than them.

--they were also my 1'st Fantasy First pick....so they must be good

Well, I was impressed with how much your performance improved in Philly after Chesapeake. If your performance keeps up, you could shock many top teams.

Thanks. I guess dead last to 8th is an improvement

We can now hang reliably with the hook we installed at philly (20 secs from anywhere on the field) there is a picture and thread about it

I really hope we are a sleaper. At least we think our robot will move and not shatter the gearbox.

I think all the rookie teams are sleepers. In my 5 years I've never seen rookies make such an impact. They are very competitive this year.

[T967]

Sleepers to me are teams that have some kind of hidden talent that if poked, encouraged, or annoyed will explode into great success. My only pick is 1272. Don't let the cute purple and neon green robot fool you.

[Jessica Boucher]

My ultimate sleeper pick....


...Ken Leung. (sorry! it had to be said!!!)

[Nikhil Bajaj]

I'm thinking Team Roboto #447 needs to be tacked on there, with the whole runners-up at the Midwest Regional deal...

[T967]

Oh that will go over well. :-)
Are you saying that he will be competing?
And if so, will he sleep the entire time?

[Marygrace]

Add 294 to that list, *EXCITEMENT* cant wait till nats! Its taking to long to get here!
