You are entitled to your opinion but you have an honorable mention in there that won a World Championship.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

Based in Total History the Ontario List goes:

1114
2056
610
1310
3683
1241 - minus last years bot
4039
and a whole lot more. with everyone chasing 1114 and 2056 on a regular basis Canada has arguably the deepest level of good teams.

Top 5 Teams for KS:
1. 935 - RaileRobotics - They always builds beautiful, effective robots that are a force to be reckoned with.
2. 1710 - Ravonics Revolution - This team is incredible on the field, but even more insane off the field. RCAs, Safety, Engineering Inspiration, this team does it all.
3. 1777 - Viking Robotics - Always building robots that are consistent and deceptively simple, not to mention their drive team having amazing horned hats.
4. 3172 - HorsePOWER - Another all around power team, with an RCA under their belt, they strive to be a model team both on the field and off the field.
5. 1802 - Team Stealth - True to their name, they usually fly under the radar at events, but their robots are always effective no matter what the game is, and generally find an aspect of the game and excel at it.

I have been told they are stress testing it tomorrow. 4557 is really looking forward to working with 195 !! See you this weekend!

Aren't you very quick to judge with your little knowledge and opinions?

I did not mention my current team or any team, just a region.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

even though they won worlds there past few robots haven't done as well as top 5 and they were the 3rd robot as world champs

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

Wow, that level of rude is not something I usually expect on Chief Delphi let alone from a mentor.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

I'm going to casually add 5254 to this list, because they're great. Also 340 if only for the impressive amount of Blue Banners they've received recently, and possibly 3171 for their LI wins in 2013 & 15 (and their great performance on our alliance in NYC last year).

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

My stab at Colorado will include only three, because they are consistently the best. There are other teams that are up and coming (the High Fives come to mind), and others with a history of consistency and tradition (159 and 662 particularly), but these three top my list.

2996, Cougars Gone Wired
1619, Up-A-Creek
4499, the Highlanders

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

I think a key is the last four years, in which case I would dispute putting 2337 in the top five. My top five Michigan teams in the last four years would be:

1) 469 (9 District Wins, 1 District Finalist, 2 State Championships, 2 Division Wins, 1 World Championship, 1 Einstein Finalist)
2) 67 (7 District Wins, 2 District Finalists, 1 State Championship, 2 State Finalists, 1 Division Win, 3 Division Finalists)
3) 33 (7 District Wins, 1 State Championship, 1 Division Win, 1 Division Finalist, 1 Einstein Finalist)
4) 1023 (7 District Wins, 1 State Championship, 1 Division Win)
5) 314 (5 District Wins, 2 District Finalists, 1 State Championship)

And then my top 4 Runners Up would be:

1918 (4 District Wins, 2 District Finalists, 1 Division Finalist)
2337 (4 District Wins, 2 District Finalists, 1 State Finalist)
1718 (3 District Wins, 1 State Finalist, 2 Division Finalists)
27 (6 District Finalists, 1 State Championship, 1 State Finalist, 2 Division Finalists)

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

I would switch 1296 with 3310. While I agree with you that 1296 is getting better and better, 3310 has 4 regional wins while 1296 only has 1 in the last 4 years.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

Here's my list for Arizona:

1. 842 - 2015 marked the first year they didn't win a Regional since 2010, and part of that was due to an all in strategy on making their robot a super can-burgler for Champs since they prequalify as a HOF member. They were still a playoff staple as usual.

2. 2486 - They had an undefeated run on the way to a Regional win in 2014 along with a Finalist appearance in 2012. Meanwhile they have cleaned up on the culture award side, with one of the longest active Chairman's winning streaks in FIRST and an army of Dean's List Finalists and Winners. AZ North is sure to be a blast this year as they host a regional in their backyard for the first time.

3. 2403 - They've finished as either a Regional Winner or Finalist once every season from 2012 - 2015, and picked up a few EI wins along the way too. Of the teams on this list I know the least about them since their competitive rise started after I moved out of state, but I look forward to seeing more of their machines in person going forward.

4. 3944 - Two Regional wins in their first four years in FRC, and their Champs division win last year marked the first Einstein appearance by an AZ team since 60's run as an elite lap runner in 2008.

5. 1726 - One Regional win and two Finalist appearances from 2013 - 2015. Their robots aren't flashy but put their power-coated brethren to shame by quietly going about their business and never breaking.

Team 60 is a really close 6th on this list as they have 4 Regional Finalist finishes in the past 3 seasons and always build extremely competitive machines, but I couldn't put them ahead of teams that had a Regional win along with their Finalist appearances.
