Best Robots Not To Qualify for Champs
 
I'm interested to find out which robots the community thinks are the best that did not qualify for Champs.

In Western NY, 1126 and 1507 did well but didnt have a high enough average to make finals at Finger Lakes. 3117 did well in Montreal but unfortunately only one wild card spot was generated at the regional so only the finalist captain (congrats 3996!) qualified. Also I was impressed by 696's robot and surprised that they haven't been to Champs since 07! They had amazing robots for the last 3 years!

Team 2102 Paradox had some great play at Central Valley and San Diego and they did not qualify.

At SVR, team 846 The Funky Monkeys did really well and if their alliance (3rd alliance captained by 368) had made it to finals, they would have qualified via wildcards. Their robot was very effective (and their logo with the monkey in a recycling container is super cute).

It's unfortunate that 2485 WARLords aren't on the list this year after building a very impressive robot and being crucial in the top scoring match (Quarters 2) at San Diego. Since 2012 they've had unique and creative approaches to every game.

334 TechKnights are an NYC powerhouse, and prepared a beautiful robot this year, but an elusive elevator issue hurt their average throughout most of qualifications at the SBPLI Long Island regional.

WARLords are a killer team and it's unfortunate they won't be at champs. If I had to get knocked out of champs, this season isn't that bad ;)

Team 179. That robot was wicked cool.

I have to give a big shout out to team 1987 the Broncobots. Their robot this year was one of the best that I have seen, because their conveyor was one of the best that I had seen. Capable of making 5 six stacks in a match, if performing at peak performance, they were unable to win at both KC and Buckeye regional, and were not able to secure a ticket to champs. They are on the wait list, and hopefully, hopefully, there are some declines and they make it to St. Louis because I can think of no more deserving robot out there than them.

According to this map, MN is 17 teams short, so I'll get as many as I can here, sorted roughly with most deserving at the top:
2883: A very capable robot that could easily have won either of their events.
4539: Seeded 1st and 3rd at their two events, but got knocked out early in elims twice due to a series of unfortunate events.
3883, 2175: Haven't seen them in person, but they have high OPRs and are perennial favorites in this state.
5172, 4859: Again, haven't seen either of these in person, but they seem to be solid all around and I have heard great things about them.
2509, 3299: Both great loader robots that can make high-scoring stacks
1816: The double stacking master, easily one of the best landfill robots in the state.

There's 9, I'm halfway there. Anyone else care to fill in the rest?

Team 3230 PrototypeX had a very good robot but unfortunately lost late in elims at 2 regionals. They could put up 70+ points alone.

I have to copy you here dude. Very disappointing to not see 1507 and 1126 move on. Both extremely incredible robots this year (as always) and both former Einstein teams. I am excited to see these machines again at Ruckus however! :cool:

4539 was 1st and 2nd seed at Lake Superior and 10,000 Lakes. They were coop gods and had a canburglar for 10k.

1816 won Engineering Inspiration at Lake Superior and Chairman's at 10K Lakes.

Also 2883 qualified to champs via the wait list.

I think anyone who saw their reveal would agree that it's sad to see 1657 not qualify. Their design was insane, and they made it work well.

1287 improved immensely between Palmetto and Virginia and finished ranked 2nd and have unfortunately not qualified for Champs.
