Re: Highest rookie seed
 

I believe that 1511 was 4th or 5th at the Buckeye regional

GO 1403!!!

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

1558 was I believe ranked 7th at Waterloo. They captained the 4th alliance I believe. Not bad for a team with only a frame at the end of week 5.

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

it was 7th, we were 4th n 67 was 5th then 174 was 6th and 1511 was 7th, better then FLR and i bet they will only get better, we will just have to see at Toronto and nats!

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

Team 1646, the Boiler Precision Guessworks, finished 8th at the Midwest Regional and ended up being the 6 seed alliance captain.

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

there was an entire rookie alliance in the QF at Denver.. i believe they were the 3rd seeded but i'm not exactly sure. i didnt even notice until one of the announcers pointed it out, then i cheered for them the whole time because that is an amazing accomplishment and they all should be proud. i dont remember which teams made up the alliance though.. sorry guys :(

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

We got 26 out of 62 teams at N.A.S.A/VCU.

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

We were 4th at Buckeye until they replayed the matches that were distorted due to the field problems. We dropped to 7th after that, were the 5th alliance to select and ended up in the semifinals against Clarkson :) after some great matches against the 174 alliance.

We were also 9th at FLRC, selected 7th, and lost in the quarterfinals.

I believe 1559 was 5th or so at FLRC, they got highest rookie seed there :)

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

we were that rookie team that took 3rd(highest rookie seed) at the end of pre quals at the denver regional my team 1636 was an alliance with 2 other rookies team 1515 and 1357 we lost in the semi finals to a alliance with team 64 the gila monsters we were all proud that we made it that far as rookies and thanx for cheering for us

Re: Highest rookie seed

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

1660 came second overall / regional finalist(in the alliance that lost the final), and they also won the judges award.

1593 were 5th at the end of qualifying, 1698 were 8th and 1660were 15th at the end of qualifying

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

At the Lone Star Regional the best rookie teams were from Brazil. 1628 was in the top 8 and picking position, and 1621 (ENIAC) was in the finalist alliance. They both had simple designs that worked very well and took them very far. 1628 won the rookie inspiration award.

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

I think that earlier (I cant fid it) someone said that at Peachtree, my team won the regional. While we didn't win, we were picked by the #2 team and won every championship match until the Finals. Then, we barely lost the first match and would have tied the second except for a 30-point penalty on one of our teams (not your fault 832, no hard feelings, we love you!). Man, it was close! The match ended with us pinning the #1 team's robot against the wall. How fun! Ok, I'll quit ramblng about our glory days...

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

.. i think 1511 is one of the best rookies.. they may not of won the highest rookie seed at greater toronto (cuz of course 1596 will take that.. no rookie team can stop us :D :P ).. but they are a overall REALLY awsome team, their robot is good, their drivers,., everything. .. what makes them stand out is all the awards theve got.. like rookie inspiraton etc.. they have accomplished some AMAZING tasks in the name of FIRST . and this is their rookie year.. imagine in 5 years. !

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

Team 1605 went to finals at waterloo

Re: Highest rookie seed
 

1539 Clover SC, (Robot Love, Scorpius) was #3 seed at Palmetto.

Lost 2 close matches in the Semi-finals
