And you can't forget that the other divisions can have two of their top teams allied together, and any alliance like that can match any divisional alliance unless something happens leaving one of the "big" teams for second round for one of the super alliances.

This is just me but.....
I want to go out on a limb and say that 217 AND 1114 will be lower than 2nd seed.
Which means that depending on what 1st and 2nd seed are/and what they do.
It will be in for some intense matches

Hey, but a brother can dream...

But I agree Galileo is too stacked for its own good.

Wow that is really going out on a limb seeing as we have never seeded higher than #2 at any event. We have only seeded #2 one time and never higher than #8 at the Championships ....

Way to go out on a limb Huskie!

In this division there are 14 teams that could easily seed 1 or 2. Looking at the this field, I still think the 5 and 6 seeded teams have the biggest advantage.

i might even go as far as to say that if one of the "better" teams drop down to 7 or 8 that they have an advantage. good scouting will make or break for the top 8. if they can get good scouting, they have a chance.

Heh. Paul, u sneaky devil you.
Showin me up.
Its ok, im pretty sure you will be in the finals.
This field is to deep to guarantee that ANYONE will be in the top 2.
Its also so deep that i cant guarantee anyone will NOT be in the top 2
So..maybe i should just wait and see?

With the number of robots that could potentially carry their qualifying alliances here, and just seven matches per team, I predict that the top seeds in Galileo will be determined by ranking scores.

How well the hurdlers can handle the defense (or how the refs call it...) will be the deciding factor in eliminations, and I'll be surprised if 84 doesn't get picked early in the second round to counter the likes of 1114, etc..
