69: solid hybrid. Good ramps, good tube scoring, good autonomous. They could win this thing-- easily. If 1626 stays number one, then I wouldn't be surprised if 69 goes as the number one pick.

1626: I thought they'd be a sleeper, but they are undefeated. heh.

121: The gripper is good, but I think the robot itself is too slow. They'll do alright. Maybe the second or third pick of alliance selection, if they don't end up as the second seed themselves.

1403: These guys are playing the game out there. They should be a force in the elimination rounds. They are the next to go, after 121, IMO.

126: They are good, and I don't understand why. Sorry. I wonder how well they'll hold up under any sort of defensive pressure. I hope they are solid enough to not get knocked out in the first round!

I forgot about 173. They've also been looking good towards the end of the day.

what do you think:

126+69
1626+121
2079+(173/1403?)

If hyper sneaks into 1st, I'm almost positive its going to be 69+121, then 1626+2079, and also 126+(173/1403?).

It looks like the only good ramp bots here are 69 and 121 (one ramp). If they end up together (69 and 121), I don't think they'd lose a match in the finals. 2079 looks like a big threat-- they'll be in good picking position, and they have the gripper to make it happen.

Its going to be interesting. Hopefully the action picks up tommorow.
