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

My personal opinion for top teams in the past 5 years for Pa are in no particular order (not based on banners so much as overall performance):

291- CIA
63- The Red Barons
3504-Girls Of Steel

There has been alot of up-and-coming teams, just none that have distanced themselves from others.

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

My opinion is 100% personal and does not reflect my team's opinion. That being said I'm excited to see what teams will use 2016 as their "break out" year.

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

With some less than conclusive responses earlier in the thread, and more than a little personal bias of my own, I'll throw up an NY list that includes as much objectivity as I can, yet still ends up feeling narcissistic.

1) 20
In the 2012-2015 period, 20 accrued 4 regional wins, 2 regional finalists, and a trip to Einstein. Whether you prefer a different team or whatever, 20 had the best results in that period of time. Was also in championship eliminations multiple times.
2) 340
340 won FLR and Buckeye in 2012 and TVR in 2015, and made it to the finals of FLR 2014 and 2015. 340 also accrued a number of well-deserved Chairman's awards in that time, and is regularly in the conversation for the Championship Chairman's Award. Was also in championship eliminations multiple times.
3) 1507
1507 won FLR and Buckeye in 2012, and FLR in 2014. They made it to the finals of the 2013 Buckeye Regional as well, and made championship eliminations multiple times.
4) 1796
1796 won NYC in 2015, and SBPLI in 2013 and 2012. They were unfortunately not selected in championship eliminations during this time.
5) 3015
3015 won Buckeye 2012 and FLR 2015. They also made it to the finals of FLR 2012, Virginia 2013, FLR 2014, and the 2015 Newton Division. In addition to their 2015 Division Finalist run, they were selected for eliminations at the championship in 2014.

There are a number of deserving teams right below this- 1511 has multiple Chairman's Awards and one regional win, 329 has two regional wins and multiple EI awards, 1126 has an event win and a finalist showing. 694 consistently builds solid machines and sometimes wins Chairman's. Some other teams have experienced infrequent success, with 5254 and 263 having breakout seasons in 2015, 334 in 2014, 229/4124 having two regional wins between them over the past 4 years, but being unable to find that consistency, and 2791 having bittersweet 2012 and 2013 seasons.

But by any objective metrics I can think of, the above is the top 5 teams in New York for the 2012-2015 period. Take it or leave it.

You say glad, I hear ouch. Losing at a regional will never be so fun.

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

Here's my list for Indiana:

135
1501
234
1024
1741

The only reason why 5188 isn't on this list is because they started in 2014

I am glad someone with a better view of the state posted one. I definitely agree with this.

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

Well we never go in thinking we'll lose so we'll see. We'll certainly be competitive and go from there. I'm not worried.
It's like in the NFL you can play in a weak division or a tough one. I'll take the tough one as it pushes you each season.
This is a "leveling" game if you have not noticed. Hard to be super dominate due to the defense unknowns and vision difficulties. A tough game on all. Fun. I love seeing top tier bots (and having them on our side of the glass sometimes).

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

Yeah I definitely agree that 5172's performance in Curie in 2014 was impressive.. They definitely deserved the highest rookie seed award.

That and being Finalists twice in a row in 2014 and 2015 at Northern Lights. I believe they won 3rd place at MN State in 2014.. (they nearly beat us and 2175 out of the semis at state that year).

It's exciting seeing the number of upcoming teams in MN. Here's to another great year for MN teams!

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

A Good list I just have them in a different order
1)1986-Team Titanium
2)4522-Team Scream
3)1806- S.W.A.T
4)1730-Team Driven
5)1987-Broncobots

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

From Connecticut, the teams that come immediately to mind are:

195
2067
236
230

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

DJ, no. Our record doesn't support that, even with our pre-district state win in 2014. We're looking to change that this year.

I agree. 868 won 2 consecutive state championships, before districts, plus 2 regional wins in 2013.


My list of top 5 in Indiana in numeric order, not best to 5th best:

135
234
868
1024
1501

with 5188 an honorable mention. They haven't had the 4 years to show consistent results. Certainly the best young team in the state.

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

I'm honestly surprised 447 hasn't made at least a mention in the Indiana lists. They've registered wins in each of the last 3 years.
868 hasn't won since 2013.
135 - 234 - 447 - 1024 - 1501 (numerical order)
