Yes, we paired up at San Diego and made the finals, then won the Las Vegas regional together.

25 and 103 is a pairing you did not want to face and it continues to be a strong partnership. We are very good friends with both of these teams, but it always seems that we end up facing them in competition.
All of the other teams you mentioned 2590, 225, 1218, 365, and 1640 are great partners. it is an honor to play with them whenever we get the opportunity.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

Not from the same state, but this year at the Pine Tree District event my team (3525), 133, and 3930 were together in eliminations. I loved the alliance and we did very well together until a few problems in the finals. This year our bots nearly seemed to be built to work together.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

Successful rivalry seems to be our fate. We are friends and usually meet the last weekend of each build season at 2771's (Code Red Grandville) practice field at their open house which gives West Michigan teams a chance to test their robots and see the local teams and robots that come there. The "Gears" are a very good team that always field a good robot and strategy but we haven't ended up on the same side of the field in eliminations due to a lot of factors but there is always hope for next season!!!

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

The same teams pairing up successfully several times is pretty rare. It happens less than it seems to, because even if two teams are "above the pack" at an event, they're still more likely than not to be on different alliances. Look at all the factors in play for your question: the two teams have to be in the same state, really good not only over a long period of time but also particularly good in the same years, going to many events, and going to many of the same events, and they need quite a bit of luck.

As a result, there are only 6 pairings that have more than 3 event wins (including cmp & division wins separately). 16 more pairings had 3 wins. The rarity is what makes the 1114/2056 partnership so special; there's nothing even remotely like it.

Interestingly, all these pairings are teams in the same state/province. A few of the 3-win pairings were teams across borders, including 16/148 and 341/2590, or even across a country, like 111/254.

Thanks for compiling this. This is something I'd love to see on TBA Insight page. I'm still hoping someone will take my idea of mutli-team searching and make it happen. I think it would be really cool to be able to simultaneously search multiple teams on TBA and see all instances that they were in the same match (either with or against each other).

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

But as I said in my first post 179/233 have 2005, 2009, 2011 Florida, and 2007 Archimedes so doesn't that put us at 4 with 217/469?

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

FIRST's page lists 233 as a finalist at Florida 2005, which is why my scraper didn't catch it. The match results page is clearly erroneous.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

233, 179, 1592 did win the Florida Regional in 2005. We've tried to get those pages on the FIRST website changed since 2008 but nothing ever came from it.

We're tracking now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

Not a very long history.. but 2175 and 4607 won North Star in 2013, won state together in 2013 and were alliance partners yet again during elims at North Star this year.

Edit -spelling-

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

It might not be a very long history relative to the history of FIRST but it is our whole history! Every elimination round that 4607 has played in has been with 2175. I would say 2 wins in 3 attempts is successful and you never know what the future might hold.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

We (2046) teamed up with 2471 in 2012 and won the Seattle Cascade regional, and then we teamed up again in 2013 and won the Oregon Regional. We first teamed up in 2010 at the Seattle regional but only made it to Semi-finals.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

Amusingly, I had something that did this but it got broken because of The Blue Alliance API changes.

Re: Successful Team Ups By State
 

Rather than two teams, how about three? The alliance of 2996, 1410, and 662 took the finalist spot at the Colorado regional in both 2013 and 2014. Both years they lost to alliances that were comprised primarily of out-of-state teams, so I'd say they count as the most dominant alliance from Colorado for the last two years.
