Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
 

my top 10 picks for the UCF

59 Ramtech always very strong robot

79 Captain Krunch few years ago flying around the field with their drive system (stack Attack) they always come to play

108 SigmaC@T always there to play to win great team

179 Swampthing another robot that will be there to play hard

180 S.P.A.M. dear to my own heart great power robot. hope they can get it running good

233 Pink some year they win some years we win. but always have a great robot ( still like it when they came up to Hartford regional and we picked them back in 2000. what team would go from the warm FL to the cold New England. good then and good now)

312 Heatwave some years they get it right and watch out. they could be a lot of trouble. but a very strong group of people on that team.

386 Voltage another team that can come out and do very well. Thanks to them they help us out to get to the nationals a couple of years ago. very good people.

945 great team if they come with there "A" game they will be very strong

1062 1065 Both of these robot could be fun to watch on the field



I think the regional winner will be in this top ten. I think team 190 will not be ready even after already having one regional before coming down. team 190 needs a few regional before they work out all the bugs and then watch out.

good luck to all

I dunno, but their website seems to indicate something to the contrary of your theory.

No the fire is reserved for new inductees to the pit crew, and for team members that get their car stuck in people's lawns while they are supposed to be working on the robot.

sorry nick....it is too funny for me to deny the CD viewers

Lets see:
Fire
a big publix burger
and Jumbo shrimp

You guys have barbeques for the moles? That doesn't sound like a threat to me. Since I'm part of the conspiracy do I get some of this surf and turf? I'll spill the beans I swear!

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
 

I am pretty confident about these teams,Last year we had a great strategy with our defensive robot and this year I am sure that we will accell.

here's mine:

1. 233 Pink
2. 86 Resistance
3. 1251 Tech Tigers
4. 190
5. 1694 (Yeah!)


P.S I can't wait to see you guys there. :D

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
 

after reading many of the posts here, i keep thinking "how did i forget about them?!?!? that team is (usually) pretty tough"
I think this year the Florida regional is going to be harder than an already tough regional. I think luck is going play a bigger role than ever with alliances. I think this year more than ever one team being able to "carry" an alliance is going to be very difficult.

Also, the switching sides for offense / defense is going to get confusing at times. hopefully on Thursday drivers and coaches will have this mastered.

side note to my thinking that UCF is going to be harder than ever. maybe it's because I've never seen anyone's robot prior to the regional. watching the regional this weekend should help all around, strategy, stupid mistakes teams might make, corrections to avoid penalties. Lucky for me i have NASA TV.

T-minus 7 days : 3hrs : 24min
i cant wait.

i still think we'll own up thou

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
 

The barbecue is not for them, but out of them. Sometimes they taste bad or there's not enough to go around - hence the burgers and shrimp.

Re: What's your top five? UCF edition
