I have a good feeling about it. It's my favorite bot that hasn't had a televised match yet and I think Witch Doctor is super overrated.

Stinger is great because it's got great "regular-rear end" factor

It's a regular-rear end bot made by regular-rear end people

I like Beta for the same reason, it's a bot a dude threw together 2000s that he never bothered to test and finally brought out now, I wonder if he'd even be able to repair it if it got broken in the first round and he did well enough for a wild card

I like how often Stinger seems to lose all its wheels and win anyway.

got some chores tonight

honk honk whats for lunch...
minotauro has the best narrative its clearly the best bot in the field but is getting jobbed down to 7th seed because its drivers arent white

meanwhile, my other bot captain shrederator has the second best narrative for the exact opposite reason

Pretty much:

Chomp - Gets to face a spinbot from hell in the first, and then last year's champion in the 2nd. Not sure how this ended up 13th seeded either.
Blacksmith - Minotaur in the first. WELP.
Mega Tento - Ugh.
Ringmaster - Sure, I'll pick against my first round pick.
Escape Velocity - WELP.
