No because it was a combination of existing teams.. (47 & 65)

N.O.

51 is a combination of teams 47 and 65. Those teams had their rookie year many, many years ago. 51 is a HoF team (47 won a Chairman's, and was a force to be reckoned with in the 90s), and has a National Championship under their belt (2003 or before--can't remember when 65 won it).

If 51 is considered a 2010 rookie, then 23 is a 2012 rookie, though they are returning after a 12-year hiatus.

Re: Best Robots by Age

Just to note, because this mistake or typo has been made a few times, the team being nominated for top 2012 rookie is 4294.

Also, I have to agree that 3539 has begun their FIRST History with two really great years and support their nomination.

I chuckled when I read that.

And for Eric, it was 2003 when 65 won the championship.

Team 144 does exist according to the championship team list. I did further research and found that they are still out of Cincinnati, Ohio and still carry Proctor and Gamble as one of their sponsors...though they do not have Walnut Hills as one of their schools. They competed this year as R.O.C.K. at Buckeye and Queen City.

I was mistaken. Apologias to team 144.

The worst they've done in their two regionals is finalist (2009 St. Louis Regional Finalists, 2010 St. Louis Regional Champions)
They were a 2nd round pick by 1717 on Galileo in 2009
They made it all the way to the finals on Galileo, losing to the eventual World Champs (111,67, 971)
They were the only rookie at IRI in 2009 to be an alliance captain.

It's close, but I think that 2775's performance in year 2 gives them the edge...

Using the same logic, 2753 was the 2nd overall pick at IRI that year. Wildstang 111 was chosen first by team 980, the #2 alliance (832) picked 2753 as their first pick. Albeit I have a bit of a bias.

So much this! Been saying it since 11 saw them play in Palmetto. A few of us were talking about them today as well.

Re: Best Robots by Age

Without actually doing some research, it's hard to think of some teams that are clearly better by year.

2013: ????
2012: 4334
2011: ????
2010: ????
2009: 2826
2008: 2337
2007: 2056
2006: 1717
2005: 1625
2004: ????
2003: 1114
2002: 987
2001: ????
2000: 469
1999: 217, 254
1998: ????
1997: 67
1996: 71, 111

And I really don't even know what teams even existed way back when. Is there some site where I can see the rookie years for each team?

Also, I don't believe there's a good way of measuring the best team by year for certain years. For 2007 the best team is clearly 2056. But it's really hard to say what team is the best from 1999. I would take 254 over 217, but the success 217 had, particularly between 2006 and 2011 was ridiculous. They won 2 Championships in 2006 and 2008, and won at least 70 matches in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Re: Best Robots by Age

4294 has been a bit underwhelming this year, so given another solid robot from 4334, I'd might endorse that pick for 2012 rookie. 4124 is another 2012 rookie that is doing serious work, though. Finalist last year and top pick and winner at BAE this year.

For 2013 I would have to say the current leader and high favorite would have to be 4451. And for 2010 I'd say 3357, they made it to Einstein.

What's really scary is they get like 6 weeks to drop under the radar and somehow figure out a way to play their game even better before Championships. They didn't use up any black magic to win regionals (2x RAS, ranked 5th/finalists in Orlando and rank 7/semifinalist in Myrtle Beach) so I bet lady luck (and the robot itself) will go far into CMP with 4451. Definitely an early candidate for CMP highest rookie seed.
