I wouldn't be surprised at all if all 3 somehow made it to the semi's. I know its probably unlikely because there are a few top heavy teams, but 179 whooped up florida elims, knocking out teams like 103. 103 is ranted and raved about, but people seem to forget that 179 pretty convincingly beat them. 1251 won Florida and got the banebot bug in Palmetto, there is a good shot they will be seeded very highly in newton. 79 had a lot of trouble getting going in Bayou, but towards the end 5 hurdles for them was pretty common place, Ohh and they run 3 lines every time with some pretty sweet collision avoidance. I've watched A TON of matches this year, these three teams aren't 1114, but they sure are on par with many of the teams that are constantly mentioned as a top teer. The only thing all three of them lack is an extremely powerful auton ( 2 balls 4 lines type ) but in the game, they can keep up with most any team. Because it seems like these teams have been kind of "sleepers" I wouldn't be surprised if they fell to the second round ( how ? I don't know ) and if they did, whoever picked them up would have a darn good chance.

Thanks to Dan and everyone one in this thread for mentioning 1251. However as everyone knows Championships is a crap shoot at best, and the best robots don't always win. I've told everyone to take it one match at a time, concentrate on doing there individual jobs well and do their best. At this level it's a marathon more then a sprint you have to stay steady and find the energy to push when needed.

Just my two cents,
Drew

well it looks like the hawaii finals again in the practice matches tomorrow when we go up against pink in the morning, then our next match is with Wildstang, followed by partnering with Krunch. Even though its practice day, we've never partnered with these teams so it should be exciting.

See you all tomorrow!

I thought our match in hawaii was epic with
233, 968, and us 359 on the same team. Another one during practice day was 254, 968 and 233. All three teams were practicing hurdling 3 balls (opponents one too) and scored like 300-400++ points in my estimation during the 5 minute match. It was just a sight to see!
Tomorrow during practice match 31----39, 397, and 329 play against 233, 968 and 111!!!!!
WHO'S THE ROLE PLAYING THIRD BOT? Defense, lap bot, taking turns hurdling? hehe...
