Re: FRC Top 25- Post-Build Ranking
 

Well, after week one of regionals. There were many good teams, but one of the best, if thot the best, team at MWR was 1625 and I don't think I've seen them on any lists. 1114 did well, but it was proven they were stopable. From what I heard, the technokatz (sp?), team 45 I believe, seemed to fan circles around the rest. Theyve only been on a few lists also.

I think the simplicity threw most of these guys off, we may not have crazy ball paths but the balls get from our bot to the trailer just as fast as those conveyor systems, just as a blob instead of a line.

I place no importance on lists made without seeing bots perform in matches.

This list shorted us, LookingForward shorted us a bit, guess what all that does is add to the motivation and oh look, we won midwest so where's this lists credibility now

these things generally just make those not mentioned work harder.

in other words, bulletin board matireal. you never give it out to the opposing team in sports. and well now, you don't give it out in FIRST or else teams like 1625 will actually do what their name states.... win...

edit: when are the post week one rankings coming out?... you know, the ones we see AFTER we have seen some teams actually play the game?

Dude I have no idea how 1625 didn't get up on the final list. Frankly idk how 180 did get up there.

Aren, you guys were on my list and will be even higher for week 1 list.

Echoing the fact that this list is too subjective at this point.
A ranking before championships, like last year, is more appropriate and a more accurate representation of your top level teams.
The pre-ranking is fine, but making revisions after every week doesnt make sense simply because everyone hasn't played yet.
But, I like reading about comments about certain teams that stand out every week. That will enlighten us as readers who weren't at the event and give us a better picture when all regionals are played. That is already being accomplished by "Looking Forward." :)
