Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

not in any particular order:
2056
3322
2337
2415
4334 (I think they deserve to be on this list)
2168
2826
2590
2054 (I know its below 2056, but they're a good team)
2046 (same)

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I think it is telling that out of all the elite teams coming to Wisconsin this year (16, 71, 111), I may be most worried/excited about 2826...or maybe I'm just another victim of regional bias :)

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

All Time? From the standpoint of most dominating robots... Here's the top 6 that come to mind.

71 - 2002
47 - 1998 (?)
1114 - 2010
341 - 2012
1717 - 2012
67 - 2009

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I would include 1114 - 2008.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

If by top ten best teams you mean teams most likely to go far in the Championship eliminations, then here's my list:

1. 67
2. 1114
3. 2056
4. 254
5. 217
6. 233
7. 111
8. 469
9. 987
10. 1717

Honorable Mention(ordered by team#): 16, 25, 177, 330, 2826

Obviously this is a subjective list, but I would say the a few of these, particularly the top 4, would be in almost any top 10 list.

If by best teams you meant most influential teams, then I would look at the FIRST HoF.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I debated that and for some reason they don't stand out in my mind as "dominant" in the same sense the other teams do so I left them off.

I do point to them as probably the most elegant robot of all time though.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

They were more dominant in 2008 than 2010 and you left off the only dominant robot of 2010.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I like your list, but I would also add 469's 2010 robot, and I would not include a team from 2012. I would say 2056, 67, 987, 469, and perhaps a few other teams were arguably just as dominant as 341 and 1717 in 2012. There really wasn't a truly dominant robot from that year.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I would say that top teams may vary by regional area. Michigan Teams may not be "good" to west coast teams.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

And you neglected to mention a number. If you are referring to 469 I disagree that they were dominant due to their need for a good scoring bot to start the cycle going quickly.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

Yeah. Probably best if we all just throw some good ones out there instead of ranking them.

254,111,1114,2056

Im new to the scene so these are just the ones that Im aware of being quite good.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

Any list that doesn't include 2056 isn't a top ten list. 14 regional wins in a row, never lost a regional, I can't see any team top that in the recent future.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

I would include 469=2010.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

1503 - 2011 comes to mind for that one too.

Re: top ten best teams in FIRST
 

In my own opinion: (not in any particular order other than numerical, just a list of my ten favourites)
16
33
47/51/65
67
118
245
469
1114
1717
2337
This opinion is based on my own research. I love every FRC team, but those ten teams are my favourites (as well as XaulZan11, I somewhat have a regional bias).
