Re: Hidden Gem Teams
 

my last post in this thread i forget to add one team...

Team 1083. (Team Emoticons).

past season were their 2nd year... and in two year that they have been in FIRST... they have gained so much reputation... they were the one who had the holomonic drive this past season... and this coming season will be just a surprise for FIRST drive train people when they see thier drive train... (only if they are still going to do what they were planning on doing)... :)

Team 1038 the Thunderhawks. A combination of FIRST's glorious past with the limitless future.
Team 378 the Circut Stompers. A consistantly cpmetive team in an area that is underrepresented with a team that has very little presence on these boards (as often is the case here. If a team doesn't have many members posting here they are ignored).
Team 49 Dow & Buena Vista HS that always seems to be up for the Chairman's award and will one day break through.

one team to look out for next year will be 1279, cold fusion. they surprised me at frenzy final at Bridgewater high school. they rebuild there robot and what a great job they did. i mean they saved 56 in one match when 56 could not hang and with 7 seconds left they hanging tools shoots up and grabs and then they left off the grab with 3 seconds left. that it is pretty good for a rookie team. so good luck to that team and all the other rookie team this year and next year. show up the other teams that rookies at better then you think.

Team 930 Mcubed.......

They make great machines. (often under-estimated)

Thay are also a nice student-run team from what I have seen at comp. b4

I'd like second that vote....it should be interesting this new drive train, and it is difficult for them to not gain recognition with leaders like george, andrew, and nathan (don't get mad if i left anyone out, but thems are who i knows). I still remember their first year where they worked literally all day to get the thing under the weight limit. After only one year they have certainly changed dramatically imho. Now let's just see if they can pull this new fangled drive train off before the rodeo....

Re: Hidden Gem Teams
 

190 and 716, but I think they are pretty well known.
388 was awesome at nats, and 1388 was not bad either.
71 is awesome, and
<sarcasm>
relatively unknown.

980 was also great at IRI.

i forgot! team 902, the hertitage hawks. they usually have awesome machines, but are constantly being underrated.
