Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
If you want to go by state rankings in Michigan, it's currently:
67 33 2834 2771 85 It will be much more clear after this weekend. :) |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
There are a lot of sleepers in Michigan. MSC is going to be exciting this year for sure. The OPR numbers are crazy. With a huge rookie class and the whopping number of districts the field was certainly the most churned it has ever been. I don't disagree with the Michigan posts I have seen on here thus far. But with 100+ teams on two fields the top 5 is truly just the tip of the iceberg.

Honestly, now that I think about it. Pretty much everyone in Indiana that shoots at least 4 or 5 high, and of course 71, has a very very good chance of winning DCP. Any pair up of the top 10 listed could put up a great fight.

Michigan's field is extremely deep. Some good teams missed the cut for MIDCMP, and there are many in this weekend's field that have not shown their best game yet. Scouting is going to be a challenge, probably even harder than a CMP division. I will be surprised if 33 does not seed #1. Beyond that, the possibilities are too many to contemplate. |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
133
195 1519 125 These are the clear top robots for newengland this year |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
Texas
148 118 4587/3310 4063 I'd probably put us somewhere on there but I'm a bit biased :) |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS

Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
Missouri in order:
1986 1806 1987 1730 1775 |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
North Carolina
I usually dont bite on comparative threads but there are just too many excellent things to say about the teams this year. In numerical order and excluding my own team: 1533- Triple Strange - I took one look at this robot at the first District Competition in Guilford and knew it was the perfect alliance partner for 3506 once they got everything working well -we would not get to test that until 6 weeks later at State Championships. Absurd Swank drive system that works very well for breaching and certainly the most reliable climber in NC to boot (they made the top 10 climber list in the world too). When they are tuned, their high goal shooting locks in their wins. Happy we got this team as our first pick at State Champs and even happier that this team got their first two blue banners this season. 2642 - Pitt Pirates - Fast and solid breacher, a decent high goal shooter, and can probably push every team out of their way. Also a strong District Chairman's Award winning team with a sweet pit. 2655 - Flying Platypi - Most consistent performance and sturdiest robot in NC. A low goal and defense breaching beast with an excellent drive team that always pushes the clock to the limit and they almost always make the right play. Out of the District Chairman's Award winners, they were the team we feared losing to the most on and off the field and for good reason. A solid team this year! 4290 - Bots of War - We won our first event with them because they are the most underrated, tiny at 95 lbs, and terrifying low goal robot in NC. This is the only team in NC that can down the tower alone and still breach a couple of defenses along the way. When I say fast, I don't mean so fast they slam into stuff trying to steer, they have control of that speed and use it well. They are the fastest breacher in the state when they are not slamming balls into the tower and when they get their climber on their robot for Champs, they will be even more terrifying. Say goodbye to your tower around this team because this is the robot that can do what most low bar teams wish they could do. 4561 - Terrorbytes - "Blinding light of high goal scoring". This team is probably the best outer works shooter in the state and we had the pleasure of making it to finals with them at the Campbell University District event. Their robot is very short, skates under the Portcullis, and can tackle any defense you throw at it quickly. Built solid, they have a great machine this year. |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
IN is pretty tough but I'd say the top 4 in no particular order are 868, 1024, 1501, and 1747.
868- 2x event winner, chairman's award, quality award, innovation in control award 1024-3x event winner, quality award, industrial design award 1501-2x event finalist, quality award, innovation in control award, excellence in engineering award 1747-2x event winner, chairman's award, entrepreneurship award, innovation in control award |
Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
I know the Minnesota area has been done to death, but here's my two cents worth:
1) 5172 Coming out of Greenbush Middle River, the Gators have truly dominated their competitions (Northern Lights & Iowa), placing as finalists in the former and winning the latter. Their 20 point autonomous is truly dominating and one of the most consistent I've seen, and their hanging mechanism combines simplicity and functionality in a near flawless design that scales almost every match. With a truly impressive two-year history, I doubt this year will be any exception. 2) 2052 Krawling out of New Brighton, KnightKrawler has continued a decade of competitive robots and a formidable awards game. With a finalist position at Lake Superior and a fantastic success at 10K Lakes under their belts, these guys have claimed three qualifying spots over the course of the season (Wildcard, Winners, and Chairman's). With a beautiful catapult accompanied with spot-on vision code (which, for the record, was accurate at even week 1), KnightKrawler is a truly formidable high goal cycler capable of incredible speed and accuracy. Krawl on guys, krawl on. 3) 3130 One of two fantastic Woodbury teams this year, their success is certainly no ERROR. Combining a strong drive train with a powerful catapult (accompanied by a great vision code), these guys were topping the charts nearly the entirety of North Star. The ERRORS have won a competition and are coming off of a very successful season last year as well, and they are definitely a force to be reckoned with. 4) 2175 The second of the unstoppable Woodbury duo, The Fighting Calculators are on track for matching their success in 2014. Rocking the 12.5" diameter pneumatic wheels, their defense game is strong, as well as their quick, vision-powered catapult shot. They got off to a rough start in Iowa, but certainly redeemed themselves tenfold after claiming the top ranking spot in North Star and going on to win their competition. Overall, these Calculators have not stopped Fighting, and won't stop anytime soon. 5) 2502 Flying out of Eden Prairie, Talon Robotics returns for another year of success. With a couple of successes in Duluth, and winning Engineering Inspiration twice this year, they have proven to be a formidable foe wherever they go. Much like 2175 in that they had a bit of trouble their first competition, they showed their worth at 10K Lakes, displaying their successful and accurate catapult with a consistent hanging mechanism. Their defenses game is rock solid, and they have a truly high-flying reputation as an award-winning team. Talon Robotics will certainly continue their well-deserved success. |

Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
Not sure how this is being judged.
Is this an entire programs history or just for this year? Anyway, I will give it a go based on award history. HAWAII Top two easy... 359 368 ... In no particular order 3008 2439 2438 I will recuse myself as it could be considered biased as I am the one posting. Good luck to everyone at championships. Aloha! |
