Predictions Week 3: Fighting for Position

[tdlrali]

I can´t believe how right-on these predictions were for Detroit.

[Chickens] will be taking home at least one gold medal

Chickens were just as good as predicted, and did take home a gold medal.

[27 and 47 are] some of the most feared teams in FIRST.

Chiefs and RUSH were among the best robots there, seeding within the top 5.

Unless they can align themselves with 217 or 469, I don't see either of these teams [47 / 27] adding another blue banner to their collection.

After 469&217 were paired, 27 and 47 paired up - however, they were defeated in Finals. However, RUSH had major problems with their drive train, I´m not sure if it still affected them during the finals matches. Congratz to RUSH for winning Chairman´s, though!

If they [469] can pair up with the other huge threat, 217 (like they did in 2006), they could form an unstoppable barrage of trackballs and would all but certainly sweep up the gold.
