Re: teams to look for this year

the west michigan regional champs, 141, have tons of good ideas right now, and they seem to have a pretty good robot

aww yeah i'll miss you guys; the NYC regional last year was so much fun.. i did ask my coach if we could go back this year but she refused... i think our team members had a little too much fun... :rolleyes:

anyways, i'm sure there will be a lot of robots with similar concepts, yet i have this haunting feeling in the back of my head that just seems to be saying, What if this year we've got it all wrong?? Almost as if all of this hard work and dedication just seems to go down the drain when it is realized that your robot is actually completely useless, except to be a mosquito for the opposing alliance. i hope that doesnt happen to any team. what could be more disheartening than that?

I tend to disagree with that. I dont dedication or anyother spirt goes down the drain if a teams robot does not preform well. There is more to first then just have a killer robot. Each year i have participated i would say my team has been the best on the field. Though i can honestly say i had a whole lot of fun on multiple levels.

I can't wait to see team 69. Their machine last year was one of the coolest ones I have ever seen, and it was also really good.

Re: teams to look for this year

its dumb not to say your own team i mean duh!! but i think that it will be hard to say who will be a really good team like woody said everyone will have similar robot but a good team will be by the driver(s) and their strategist

Re: teams to look for this year

Everyone always base thier posts in these threads on "who has the best robot?" But like Dean said "FIRST is more than just a robot contest" and thus I am picking who I think is the favorite for the Chairman's Award is.
I think team 294 Beach City Robotics is the favorite. After all they are the designer of the Gracious Porfessionalism Poster if that doesn't say Chairman's Award what does?

I'll second that!

I think this is going to be the year for coaches and strategy.

I thik that 48 and 71 have 2 of the best coaches in FIRST, so...

In that i see a winning team will consist of a "Cold As Ice" drive team which contains an excellent coach who will tell (but drivers don't always listen too) the drivers what plays to go through with.

sorry about that but i just had to say it

Team 616 is gonna be the Indian Outlaw at the VCU Regional.

Re: teams to look for this year

No offense to anyone who thinks they have an awesome robot, but I wouldn't be bragging. Just bring it on when you're at the competition, and we'll really see who's the best! :p

Re: teams to look for this year

i'd say that any team that has a 2 digit number, always has a good chance at winning it anytime. But i always like my own team (1403), whether or not we will be ready for it is a question, but we have the skills, we just need to apply them.

Re: teams to look for this year

Why havent we been mentioned yet? Well, besides by our own members and I don't supposed this is gonna help either...

Team 639 going all the way baby! We won Canadian regionals last year and we're gonna win RIT this year... woot woot! :D

All of your bots will be good I'm sure cause we all put a lot of effort into them... ;)
