I have only ever read the championship predictions, but loved them. Glad to see the whole show coming back. On the subject of identity, take a look at LF’s location. Seems to imply a group effort.
Wouldn’t finding out who LF is kind of ruin the fun in it? Right now, the review is completely unbiased to a typical CD user.
LF is like The Stig of FIRST. But LF talks and doesn’t drive…
And LF wouldn’t reveal himself like sacked stig
Right on the money. It doesn’t matter who LF is as long as LF keeps aggregating and providing these great write-ups in volving so many teams. I love seeing the info from regions I’m not familiar with.
Remember you probably know a contributor to LF without realizing it. LF has spies everywhere.
I’m just glad Looking Forward is back 
i really appreciate what he/she/they do.The predictions help looking at the game from different perspectives and they also prove that FIRST is far more than just building robots. I really hope to keep reading more updates from LF throughout the competition season.

What changes happened in Greenville this year?
This is what gave me some hints as to who the group may be. It wouldn’t surprise me if it is that group.
Edit: Def. a group “Location: FIRSTers All-Over”
If you look around CD, you’ll notice something missing from year’s past. That should lead you in the right direction.
You know, it’s funny, LF mentions team 716, the WhoCtech’s about not being in the limelight in a while. At Suffield Shakedown, they proved they are still in the game. Well today’s match results at Granite State are showing that as well. Watch them tomorrow! I hope my predictions turn into reality.
So its not just me? I was wondering about that. Blog’s gone too.
LF wishes it was JVN.
I’ve also heard a lot of good things about 716, though I’ll have to agree with our anonymous host. Since their stellar 2004 run (two regional titles back then was a LOT bigger deal than two regional titles now, plus Archimedes finalists once they ran into the eventual world champions), they’ve only hung one more banner (Connecticut 2008, as last pick of the draft after a 1-7, 60th-of-62 qualifying run).
Still, I for one am glad to see them back in form. 
If I were a betting person, I would bet that it isn’t who has left that is important… it is who has returned.
My bet would be that Dr. Joe Johnson has something to do with the return of Looking Forward.
Alas, I am not a betting person.

These two predictions were incredible accurate at Kettering. I am on team 862 and the side shooter worked beautifully. Also with the first prediction about the auto scoring being important, this was very true. Im pretty sure that if it wasnt for team 3322 , 3601, and 862 's autos all working together we would have never made it to the finals. We were able to get at least 4 shots in every time and on the last match we got all 6 in which was worth 33 points (the last shot didnt register till after auto) which gave us a huge lead when starting off tele.
I will love our three team’s coordinated autonomous modes for a very long time. It was the perfect display of cooperation between members of an alliance. Just being able to watch the “Rube-Goldberg” autonomous run was an amazing sight to see. Thank you so much to team 862 and 3601; our robots honestly worked perfectly together.
The first time we used it was the best. No one saw it coming, and it worked. Its a feeling that ill never forget
Is there video online of this?
Most successful autonomous:
A good video of our autonomous working:
