For folks posting up team numbers, it would be cool if you also posted a really good match video too :)

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

From Texas: we have many great teams

These Texas teams really should be at champs:
231 had a unique and great robot with a two-ball auto, semi-finalist at both Dallas & LSR

4587 - very impressive robot and shooter for a 2nd year team.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

71 isn't going again that's the second time in the last three years. They had a great on the run shooter and a good 2 ball auto. Plus they were wicked fast.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

125, won three districts, and a district chairman's award, and still didn't qualify for St.Louis.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

Uh, I'm pretty sure they did...

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

They arent on the list. And the list is up to 378.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

125 is in for points. They plated in NE district this weekend. Thay may decline but they do qualify

Our cutoff is today for registration. We just got confirmed yesterday.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

They did quality, but last I knew they couldn't go for other reasons.
I don't know if they officially bowed out yet.

They were 1st pick 2 seed at district championship.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

125 were ranked 9th among the 13 teams that qualified on points for World Championships from New England (8 qualified by awards + 3 winners).

Not all qualified team can go or choose to attend, so teams a little lower on points should be ready if they are extended an invitation

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

125 like many teams in New England are working through the issue of traveling to St. Louis. Its not easy nor is it cheap and with the Boston Marathon bus companies are booked making it harder to get a coach bus.

I'm sure 125 will have more information on their current state but yes they did qualify but they haven't said yes or no officially but I believe they would go if they can get travel arranged.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

Yeah, my bad on the "125 didn't qualify" part. The guy from their team I talked to was acting like that was the reason they couldn't go.

Regardless, that team and that robot belongs in St.Louis a little over a week from now.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

2393 built a really great robot this year, but unfortunately didn't qualify.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

Things are still up in the air. 125 DID qualify (even without points from 2 district wins and a DCA).

The season (5 events + 1 preseason) has been really long. On top of the cost to the team the robot has taken a beating (counting replays, we're at 100+ matches). Couple all this with short notice and it's putting strain on the team. Also realize that we are a really young team mentor wise. There's only a handful of us who could buy a beer, most of our mentors are freshman in college.


We're going. Come meet Dark Matter in St Louis.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

2705 was IMO the most consistent shooter at 10K Lakes (of course, I'm a little biased), and would have competed with the best of them at championships had they qualified.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship
 

Agreed. 1772 had one of their best seasons to date in my opinion and somehow didn't secure a spot.
