Predictions Week 1: We Have Lift-Off

[RyanCesiel]

A brilliant point from an informant:
Both 1024 and 245 had similar success before their break-out years (2 regional wins each), but 1024 has been somewhat more consistent. Nobody is suggesting that the Kil-a-Bytes are going to fade in obscurity, but question if they'll still be able to contend directly with juggernauts like 1114, 217, 71, and 111. They'll be a first round pick, but will need to partner with one of the greats if they intend to return to the moon... winners circle.

Wow, great point.

However, this year we finished a week and a half early with a very simple robot that works wonderfully. Last time we did that was in 2005.

Also, although we haven't had as much success with our robots, we did win a Chairman's and Woodie Flowers in 2006, and two website awards last year.

I agree with the comment regarding our lack of consistency though, that's been our greatest challenge.

Great post!
