2a. I predict that at least 5 of the 6 final teams on Einstein in Atlanta will have been in those groups.

I kind of feel like this one is pretty heavily tied to #1. The teams that were part of the beta test and the teams that have the resources to build a practice robot are many of the same teams that we see having great success year after year. I think it would be very difficult to discern if being part of the beta test or having a practice robot had an effect. The same goes for any of the Michigan teams that nobody would be surprised to see on Einstein (33, 47, 67, 217, etc..).
