Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

mainly undefeated and one loss teams.....two losses will rarely see the top 8 imho

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

At FLR we had 4 losses i beilive but were ranked fourth

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

Team 492 was 9-0-1 in qualifying and 6-0-1 in the finals. The results on the Website are wrong.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

I think you're replying to something I said for last year! :)

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

well.. i think their will be a lot of GM sponsered teams in the top (seems most GM teams do very well. . its odd.. ).. other then that.. hm... team 66,67 definately .. they are bloody awsome!..

in practice rounds we never lost once, then in competition matches. .. we had a (6:1) record, until 867? pinned us in a corner and other two alliance members died at start :(and we lost 2nd place.., all the way to 11th ..(7:2)..

but still a really fun experience, and we hope to improve our record while at atlanta and prevent that kind of thing from happening, and shure as rain, that we wont get that degree of krummy alliances .. :D

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

This was a thread started for last years game.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

The top 8 seeded teams win/loss record? Well it's hard to say because from what i understand the competition is fierce. My guise is that even the 1st seeded team will have at least one loss, but who knows :D

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

True, but since we're still utilizing W-L-T records in the same way we did in 04, the conversation is still relevant.

If there's a need to split this thread off into last year and this year, let me know.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

That is what I was hopping just because it looked like some people were confused.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....
 

We went 9-2-0 in qualifying matches, but both of those losses were due to a penalty against someone on our alliance and someone on our team.....decapping our own goals... -.- Essentially, we were undefeated as we carried along many teams. :P

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

Has anybody gone through a whole regional (playoffs included) without losing a single match? I know that at both the regionals I went to the number one team had one loss.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

MOE did at Pittsburgh, we won all our matches up to the up to the second match of finials where our alliance got a 30 pt penalty, that was totally the right call, and then we also lost the 3rd match of finials. But we won every match up to then.

Am I repeating myself?

Team 492 went 15-0-2 at PNW.
Team 492 went 15-0-2 at PNW.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

I'm pretty sure NO ONE went undefeated at the NJ Regional, and I'm not sure about Philly. I think that at least one loss would be reasonable, or if not that, then one NON-win.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

I don't think a team's record necessarily justifies their ability. Perfect example is team 93 - they were dead last at Boilermaker Regional, drafted, and went to the Finals. A team's record doesn't necessarily mean anything - it just may mean the team had a lot of bad luck.

So, remember teams - Scout. Please scout. Thank you. :]

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

team 1466 landed at 2nd with 7-2-0 with highest ranking points at regional
the competition was fierce.. ranking points are very important this year seeing as how there were several 7-2 teams- i think the 7th and 8th teams were 6-3

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

ok from the regionals ive been too ive seen a few team i think will do quite well in Atlnata


229, 135, 66, 67, 279 (sry but we are pretty good) 1023 is lookin good this year, and probably many more but thats all thats coming to mind right now

good luck in Atlanta from team 279! :D

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

279, 66, and 461 :yikes:
Just like last year, but we will win Einstein
Alright, just dreaming... :rolleyes:

But I think that the teams this year will be 279, 66, 67, 71, 111, 135, 537, 1024, and 1108 will be great out of the ones that I have seen pics of or seen in action.
I also congratulate Team Hammond on another excellent Robot design :cool: .

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

i think the top 8 are going to be 71 111 45 66 68 365 1114 217...not in any particular order though

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

have you seen 1027 or 173??? they are sooooo sick!!! I guarantee one of them will be in the winning alliance...

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

As Kyle said, team 365, MOE went 13-2-2 at Pittsburgh. The first loss was the second match of finals, in which our partner got DQ'd (It was a good call, just unfortunate, as we had won the match by a margin of 30 or so points if I recall correctly). The second loss was a hard fought match in which team 1708 was able to hit us just right to make us immobile as our polycarbonate sideshields were pierced.

At Philadelphia we went 9-2-0 in the qualifying, with one loss in the semifinals. Our first match of the quarterfinals was a score of 104, and the first match of the semis was 110!

We've had a relatively great year, and I'm excited for nationals. (I also happen to be a driver).

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

Alright, guys....I hate to say this, but back on topic.

This thread is concerning the top Win/Loss records in general. The only time teams should be mentioned is in reference to a W-L-T record at a specific regional, preferably of a team that was part of an alliance that made it into the finals.

There are many other "favored teams" threads where your opinion concerning those teams will be welcomed. Thanks :)

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

look for the teams that won two regionals to be a top robot. and i think the robots that can take two at a time and cap they will be the best robots to look out for.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

i was hoping to see somebody put my team down by now but thats okay. just look for the pink team to be a top team, we are 32-3 now, won two regionals with the help of other teams , ranked #1 seed at both regionals.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

The two regional winning teams will definitely be in contention.
I think 118 will definitely have a chance at one of the top seeds because they are so fast and can cap really fast and steal tetras off other bots.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

i think that performance should also do something with it. i am not saying that we are the best or what ever, far from it, but we went 3-7 at Midwest and went to the finals. it doesn't only deal with wins losses or ties. in my opinion. those could be wins because of alliance partners. that robot could do nothing but play defence..and get beasted every time...but the alliance wins so they get the win. it should be on performance also.

who are the top 8 at nats?
 

hey everyone,
i honestly thinkt that with 3 teams per side this year, luck is becoming more of an issue. last year if you were a really good robot, you still had a chance of bringing your team to victory. In this years game if it is just you against 3 others, then chances are much slimmer. We went 8-1-0 at peachtree but did not do quite as well at palmetto (to specify my point we had bad team members in 3 cases that got our team 30 point penalties, bringing us down for the loss). Hopefully the top seeded 1-3 alliances will recognize this and pick on robot capability and maybe not as much on actual performance (though this does also play a role). Also, as of this point in time i don't think anyone has seen enough of the teams to say who is going to be in the top 8, but until then...Good luck at National! See you there!
Ben
Team 281

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

yea... i totally agree.. it really depends on your allies. . you can be AWSOME. . .. but if both your allies suck/dead.. . it makes it extremely hard to beat 3 poor/decent robots..

for example, team 1596.. we were doing Awsome (2nd seed), 6-1.. . but since both our allies (one dead, one coulnt stack).. when we were pinned in the corner.. we got like 2 tetras stacked.. ....and lost the match.. even though the other alliance had not so good robots..

and i woulda hated to have one of those penalty making robots on an aliance (during competition matches) as well *multiple ramming, ..etc. . really sucked in the finals how we got the human loader penalty.. . :(...1305 played that strat well..

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

I attended two regionals (Peachtree and Lone star.) I mentored four teams in the Peachtree and one team in Lone star. Of all the robots I watched team 118 was by far the best. This robot is an excellent example of the perfect design for this game. I will go out on a limb and say, I think team 118 will one of the top eight teams.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

you know what i think that this thread is not a good thread. not every one on here has seen every single robot so we don't know if the robots that they have seen are the best...yes they may be the best at that regional but there could be another team that is better then them. until you have seen all of the robots you cannot make an opinion on which robots are the best.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

Might I mention again...this is not a "favorite robot" thread. To reiterate...

Good Post: "At the Mercury regional, Team 0000 was 7-2 and we ended up as 5th seed. No one at the regional in the finals had more than 3 losses."
Bad Post: "I think team 0000 will win nationals because they were 7-2 at the Mercury Regional and they are cool."

I am not a fan of "favorite robot" threads (or popularity threads at all) for the very same reason you bring up, xzvrw2. But, we are trying our hardest to make sure this thread does not turn into that. :)

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

team 56 got 4th seed at sacramento regional with 2 losses 1 tie and 8 wins i guess i think it was an 11 match regional at nj we got 1st seed with 1 loss and 9 wins and at philly we got the 3rd seed with 2 losses and 8 wins. we got to the semis in sac, finalist at nj ,and won philly. see you folks at nationals ! look for team 56 in the GALILEO division.

Re: The top 8 teams will be....(2005)
 

245's got two regional champoinships and one 2nd place finish.

Someone told me a stat somewhere along the lines of our grand total record being 38-6-1 ish?
