Predict the winning alliance at your regional?

At LA, something involving 190, 330, 968, and 1717 (pick two).

But I don't know.

It was pretty obvious that 86 (the rolling robot) would do well at Florida and sure enough, it won.

hahaha, we were working when the Florida regional was on, and I was the only one watching when I first saw 86 roll over and land the somersault. I flipped out and I quickly went to go get my teammates to see the acrobot. The next time though, it didn't quite land correctly, so we were all bummed out, but then it corrected itself and then we all flipped out even more.

The above happened in a period of 30 seconds.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

I'd throw 294 and 233 into that mix. 330 and 294 have regional wins to their credit already. 1717 has a finalist. Those three tend to mix it up in SoCal regional final rounds.

As far as Colorado goes, I'd expect a team from outside Colorado/Wyoming to be on the winning alliance this year(either: 1592, 1540, 1817, or 399). In terms of local teams: 1583 built a nice, well designed robot this year, as well as 1619. You can't discount team 2083, They have been in the eliminations every year for the past 3 years, making it to the finals twice.

Waterloo Regional:
I expect to see one or more of these teams on the winning alliance.
1114, 2056, 610, 1565, 2609, 1503, 1305, 2200, 854 and 772.

Yeah, Waterloo is going to be pretty competitive this year... I think I could have included most of the rest on the list if I wanted though :S.

I mean, 1114 is the most obviously dominant robot so far, but this game seems right up the alley of many of the teams attending. Many of us have built robust, high quality robots for years, and 1114 has set a standard that I think all Canadian teams are fighting to achieve.

It is going to be worth watching.

For GTR:

In 2006: 1114 and 1503 and I can't find the results
In 2007: 1114 and 2056 and 176
In 2008: 1114 and 2056 and 2166
In 2009: 1114 and 2056 and 2185

So now I'm going to go out on a limb and say:
In 2010: 1114 and 2056 and <3rd robot>
In 2011: 1114 and 2056 and <3rd robot>
In 2012: 1114 and 2056 and <3rd robot>
In 2013: 1114 and 2056 and <3rd robot>

It's extremely impressive to see such amazing robots every year, but I'm a little envious of regionals in other areas where there's a little variety in who wins. That said, I'm dying to see 1114 in action in Waterloo to get a close-up look of their robot this year.

I won't be going to palmetto but i will be watching (my team will be there)

945, 343, and 1553
thats my stab at it.

[BJC]

For troy (week 4) I'm going to go ahead and saaaay...

217, 469, 33

Just kidding but i guarentee that if 217 gets first seed they will pick 469.

Which may or may not result in complete domination of the compitition.

However, we're ready for this... kind of.

Why do people make useless predictions like this! I mean you are totally forgetting that in 2014, they will be beast as well!

Don't get me wrong, 1114 and 2056 are good, but I have a feeling that one of these years one of teams they started are going to take GTR! Maybe in 2015! Actually sooner I think.

I think a better question would be... "When will 2056 lose a regional?" They have won all the regional events that they have ever attended. I personally don't know when that will be because they put out a great robot year after year.

[Chris is me]

10,000 Lakes: 1714, 2826 / 2502, 2470 (why mess with success lol)
Connecticut: 177, 230, 3125 (throw 195 or 1124 in there for fun)

[Squeakypig]

Detroit Regional

I think HOT is gonna win it but who they alliance with is going to be interesting. The obvious answer would be Rush or Wings of Fire...but it will be interesting to see if any 2nd year teams can impress the Heroes of Tomorrow.
