You only have to worry if there are 8 or 9 new builders with top quality bots - I might not read every post on the forum, but I can't recall that many new builders since the last championship. There probably won't be many new international entrants either, I have been nagging the builders over here but nobody wants to spend the $2,000 for airfares.
