i put 3996 3rd because of their 2016 robot, and mostly because they were the first Qc team to make it to Einstein, let alone semi finals

For the teams that are now in the newly-formed Chesapeake District, I'd probably give the following rankings:

1. 2363 Triple Helix (Virginia): 2 regional wins in 2015; 1 regional win and 1 semifinalist in 2014 (also World Champs, but they aren't on record as playing any matches in the eliminations); 1 finalist in 2013

2. 1629 Garrett Coalition (Maryland): 1 win and 1 quarterfinalist in 2015; 1 win and 1 quarterfinalist in 2014 (though they probably would've done better if we hadn't picked them); 1 finalist in 2013

3. 836 The RoboBees (Maryland): 1 regional finalist, and quarterfinalist at Archimedes in 2015; 1 regional win, 1 regional finalist, and quarterfinalist at Galileo in 2014; 1 finalist in 2013

4. 384 Sparky (Virginia): 1 regional win and Galileo finalists in 2015; 1 regional win in 2014. That's all more impressive considering they've only gone to one regional.

Well, unless they sandbag their way to first pick, that is.

That's quite hard for my state, for everyone except three teams at our regional came from Missouri, not Kansas. Arguably, Shawnee Mission West (1777) really shouldn't have been on the winning alliance, but I'm glad they did, and I still love all the teams in our school district. I was going through our regional, and every single really good, powerhouse team, came from Missouri.

1. 1710
2. 2410
3. 1810
4. 935
5. 1777

I asked some of my friends this question a little over a week ago, and got some really interesting answers. I’ll start with MN.

1. 2052: 2052 has been a local powerhouse for the last four years, and always finds a way to win. Just look at what they have done over the last 4 years, and I’m sure you will see why they are number 1 on my list.
2. 2175: 2175 has built a top 3 robot in MN for 3 out of the last 4 years, and even with a down year in 2015, still finished as a top 10 robot in MN.
3. 1816: They’re what every local powerhouse team should be; they build very solid robots, but what makes 1816 stand out is there dedication for inspiring kids.
4. 2512: Another team that always seems to build high quality robots year and year out. I can’t wait to see what you guys built this year.
5. 4536: Being such a young team makes them even more impressive. They seem to understand the little things it takes to win better than any other team in MN. I have been very impressed with this team over the last couple of years.

Bkeeneykid, that's a great list, but I think 1108 deserves to be in that company. We won Crossroads in 2014 and were invited to IRI, finalist at Cowtown (one point from winning!). Then in 2015 I recall we were semi-finalist at Cowtown.

I know I'm late, but I figured I'd add my own list of California teams to the existing ones. Counting only current teams and going by robot record (regional and champs):

California:
1. 254 (1 champs win, 1 division win, 1 division finalist, 8 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
2. 1678 (1 champs win, 1 champs finalist, 3 division wins, 7 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
3. 330 (1 division win, 1 division finalist, 4 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
4. 973 (1 division win, 2 regional wins, 3 regional finalists)
5. 3476 (2 division wins, 1 regional win, 4 regional finalists)

Norcal only:
1. 254 (1 champs win, 1 division win, 1 division finalist, 8 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
2. 1678 (1 champs win, 1 champs finalist, 3 division wins, 7 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
4. 973* (1 division win, 2 regional wins, 3 regional finalists)
4. 971 (1 division finalist, 4 regional wins, 1 regional finalist)
5. 1671/1323/701 (1 champs win, 1 division win, 2 regional finalists; 1 division finalist, 1 regional win, 2 regional finalists; 2 regional wins, 3 regional finalists)

*Still not sure if 973 is considered a norcal or socal team

Note: Data includes 2012 to 2015 seasons only.
