Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
 

What are the Top 5 teams in your state/area/country before CHAMPS? I'm interested to see what people think.

I am going to Long Island + NYC

1. 3419
2. 1796
3. 329
4. 694
5. 870

What is kind of funny is only 1 out of these 5 teams won a regional

3419 - Finalist at NYC winning the quality award and semi finalists at Tech Valley. They were the captain of their alliance both teams and have a very promising robot. If they can make their vision a bit more accurate between their uber fast shooter and pneumatic swerve they are in contention to be picked at worlds.

1796 - Despite 1796 not making it out of semi finals they were 1st pick at both NYC and SBPLI. They also won the gp award and the chairmans award. This is for a good reason. Their turret was awesome and they fought hard every match.

329 - The Mohawks kicked their season off at Utah where they got into semis, won the engineering inspiration award and had 2 deans list finalists. They then want on to SBPLI where they had a really strong playoff run in the end losing and becoming finalists while swooping up the gracious professionalism award. Their simple robust robot with a solid flashlight aiming system would be a good pick for any alliance. Maybe it is 329's year to get to Einstein.

694 - The only team on the list to actually win a regional Stuypulse put up strong showings at both their regionals. As the 2nd member of their alliance 694 was able to win the NYC regional and swooped up the engineering inspiration award. At South florida they had the hard 8th seed position especially as they were going up against teams like 179 and 2590 and lost in quarterfinals. But, they still left the regional with the entrepreneurship award in hand.

870 - Lastly team 870 team R.I.C.E. also put up a strong showing at SBPLI. They started off their season a little rough at Buckeye losing hard in quarterfinals but really showed their strength at SBPLI where they shined on the finalist alliance. They also won the engineering inspiration award.

Remember these rankings are opinions and I would like to hear yours as well ;).

MN
1: 5172 unstoppable everywhere they went. They can do 7 high goals, one in auto and a climb.
2. 2052 solid auto shot, averages about 5 high goals a match with no defense.
3. 2502 was a dominant high goal shooter at their first event, had major drive train issues at their second (they have already been fixed). They can do 6 high goals and a climb.
4. 3130 very close to 2052, but doesn't seem to be as consistent, they also have a climb
5. 2175 haven't watched enough of them, but people I trust won't stop talking about their performance at North Star.

Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
 

For MN, in terms of robots, in my opinion:

1:5172
2:2052
3:3130
4:2883
5:2175

In terms of awards (technical and non-technical);

1:2220
2:2052
3:2175
4:2502
5:5172

Re: Top 5 Teams In Your State/Area before CHAMPS
 

Here's my list for IN

Robot (High Goal Only):
-1024
-1747
-868
-234
-1741

Robot (Low Goal Only):
-71
-1529
-3947
-3940
-3559

Climbers:
-4193
-71
-1501

Awards:
-1741
-868
-1747
-6012
-461

For California (At least the regionals I've been to):
1)254
2)971
3)330
4)1678
5)1323

The only reason I put 1678 below 330 is consistency. When 1678 is making shots they sink them like there's no tomorrow, but there have been quite a few times where they bounce off the edges.

Not sure about the rest of NE, but for Connecticut:

1. 558
2. 195
3. 2067
4. 839 (MA, but competed with us in CT)
5. 177


A couple explanations:
With several iterations to their robot, 558 has improved their robot consistently throughout the season, snatching two wins (Waterbury & Hartford), as well as a Chairman's at Hartford. They're a powerhouse this year.

195 continues its powerhouse streak, designing a beautiful and really effective robot.

177 this year has built one of those robots that caught my eye. A great shooter with its consistency, they're really good this year.

Well.. we're the only team from Mississippi going to Champs. So I guess I could say that I'm proud we are representing our state in St. Louis!
