Team 368 is one of the few "west coast" teams that made a keeper last year. Don't count them out of high-scoring matches.

I mentioned Hawaii in the third post in the thread However, I forgot about GTR. GTR has to be mentioned in any such discussion. If it's a week five regional, and I see a good chance it will be, it will probably be either GTR or Hawaii.

I'm as big a fan of the West Coast as anyone out there, but let's not kid ourselves. We (as a whole) cannot even come close to stacking up with the Midwest states.

I expect SVR to be better than usual, as it seems the teams out here definitely improved last year, but I doubt anyone will look at the event at the end of the year and have it anywhere higher than top 10 in terms of competitiveness.

I think that the Wisconsin regional could have one of the top scores this year. Even though we dont have any of the "national powerhouses" we do have our own teams that seem to do their best at milwaukee like 93, 269, 537, 1625, 1714, 1732, 1736 who was the top seed in curie last year, and 1816 who was a major bruiser robot last year. The top score may even come from other teams. There are around 60 teams signed up, and about 30 of them have team numbers over 2000. I know rookies can suprise us, but they just dont have the experience with previous competitions. I could be completely wrong, but I think that this will be a very competive tournament, and one to watch.

As long as our robot scores over 0 point I am happy!
