You'd better check your numbers again. In 2006, Wildstang won Midwest & Wisconsin as well as Midwest Chairman's and National Chairman's.

I believe he was talking about REGIONAL Banners.

There are a lot of teams that have won 4 or more banners OVERALL but only 1 that has 4 banners from REGIONALS in a single year.

Unless 69 and 20 get together, 40 will win the Boston regional (with 69 rather than 20 in my opinion).

Wanna put lunch in Atlanta on that?

I'm a drive team coach, they don't eat lunch during competition. And I wouldn't want to add any pressure to 40's great season.

Our drive team did once. They were almost late for quarterfinals.

I think 20 could hold there own against 40 and 69 if teamed up with any of a number of other bots.

20 is definitely my pick for best bot/drive team at the regional, I would be surprised to see 40 pick some one other than 20 given the opportunity

After watching 40, 69, and 20 in thier first matches, 40 will win the regional, hands down.

20 was one of the strongest robots at the far stronger FLR field.
They will at the very least be a finalist. if not champion.

69 and 40 both looked a lot like I expected so far this morning, team 20 didn't look as good as they did in pre-ship practice or at FLR, I would give them a few more matches I bet the pick it up again.

I saw 25, I saw 103...and 1114 will eat their lunch. I have seen them, they got everything right this year.

lol

I personally think that 103 would at least have a shot at 1114, I have doubts about the consistency of 25's shooter. Hope they can get that better.

How do you know that, unless you commonly post under a pseudonym with the initials 'LF'? The original statement didn't mention regionals, I just wanted to correct it. I completely forgot about HOT's amazing (or maybe even banner year ) in 2005 and the Poof's successes in 2004.

I believe he was talking about REGIONAL Banners.

By saying believe that i just my personal opinion.
