I've gotta disagree on that, unfortunately. I've gone through and checked all the predictions I could find, since 2004, and overall (counting general and specific separately), Car Nack is 17 for 29, with two that I couldn't find a result for. Typically, if a single prediction is both general and has a quantity (specific), the general is off but the quantity is on.

In other words, Car Nack has made 29 separate predictions, and he's been right 17 times. He's been better recently, though, getting better than 60% average in the last 3 years.

Chris: How are you going to deploy a 120+ pound electro-mechanical device with a velcro-covered actuated stick?

Prototype that Chris (heh, like I need to tell you that); I think you'll find that there's a difficulty in putting enough velcro on the MINIBOT so it is stable during the match, yet sparse enough that it easily detached from the HOSTBOT without slowing it down during deployment.
