CoughTeam 180(SPAM)Cough
I think the “elite” teams from years past will emerge as favorites again this year, but don’t be afraid to add 247 to that list, we’re comin’ up faster than you’ll ever realize
BIG COMPETOR
Team 2357 is going to be really hot this year.
I hear that there robot is already completed, and that they will most likely make it to national, and be a serious contender.
I’m looking out for them!:yikes:
64, 65, 66, 67, 68 in some combo or maybee even 2 on 2 in the national final

FYI, 112 no longer exists…
OK OK OK… Im going out on a limb here but “I” predict the trio in the winners circle for the finals at the Nationals to be:
237 as they have the expertise in auto driving with a great mechanical team and they will pick…
759 as they were the dark horse last year who managed to hold their own as the “rookie” team from England against 237 last year and they will pursuade 237 to also pick 388 as they have the largest heart and a most generous nature, they also can build a “mean bot”.
<<< “So it is said… So it shall be”>>>
i am expecting team 60, 64, beatty(71), rage(?), and buzz(?) to do well… like every year…
hopefully we will do well…
Teams other than mine…
Chief Delphi 47 and their partners in crime the Technokats 48. I don’t know if their robots were that amazing in terms of performance but as for technological feats they were pretty $@#$@#$@#$@# cool.
121 is/was good last year.
237 was good.
More than that i didn’t get to see much of. My recollection of team number from the nationals isn’t that great and my local regional didn’t have any competition smashing bots. This year we should be one though 
This thread was started way too early… It’s like selecting which horse will win the Kentucky Derby before seeing the horses themselves- all based on reputation…
48 is Delphi E.L.I.T.E., not the Technokats…
unless I’m mistaken?

you are correct… TechnoKats are team 45. expect them to have a good showing this year
Daisy is right, many teams have done amazing one year then flopped the next. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
You shouldn’t be going by reputation alone, wait until you see some pictures or inventor files before you judge a team.

Is that a typo Greg??? Is there a team 2357 this year?? I didn’t think we made it that high with the team numbers this year. Unless I am mistaken???

Muahaha our plans to overtake the world using a bin launching robot will prevail!

isnt it beautiful? 
:yikes:
Wow. Don’t you think this is kinda silly? We’re guessing based on previous challanges how a team will do. I really think this isn’t a good idea.
We certianly can’t guess what teams will WIN, but, you can usually get an idea of what teams are able to build competitive robots year after year.
But hey, predictions are never certain.
wow i am really suprised that noone has said us this year:( o well…
Bad

**Hrmm lets see who do you folks have to watch out for umm 222, 145, 303,and perhaps 25. Does the phrase Ramp Riot ring a bell? **
cough Excuse Me! , not trying to jinx anyone or ourselves, or to seem cocky, but perhaps you forgot someone???
hmmm… let’s see a few clues… #1 - YOUR sister team up the road!!!
#2 - we were ALLIANCE CAPTAINS at all 6 competitions our floor team attended…
also, such teams as 175, 25, 71, 47, etc… that have generally had ‘robust’ machines are just expected to give others trouble year after year… remember, it can’t be fair.
Quick! Everyone say your own team’s number!!!
I think 639 will win this year!!!
