Re: The Best Team(s) to Never Win an Official Event

In my opinion, 1189 is a team who is going to get their first win very soon. 3x Finalist and MSC SF in 2015, 1 SF in 2016, 2x SF in 2014, Finalist and SF in 2013.

Re: [BLOG] Week 7 Events and FIRST Championship Attendance

0. I really don't think that teams from the North are going to pass up the chance to play just because they can't qualify for South Champs.

Re: [FTC]: Ideal team size for FTC team of middle schoolers

I have found 7-9 students per team is a happy medium between too many and too little at the middle school level. We (3175) had 24 middle school students in our FTC program for the 2015-2016 season...

Re: Poll: What do you use to control your bot?!?!

We used a Logitch F310 controller for the drivetrain and an Xbox 360 wired controller for all other functions of the robot.

Re: Districts vs. Traditional Debate 8/16 830pm EST

What are your thoughts on interdistrict play, which allows teams to compete at a 'throwaway' district event to get a full event of drivers practice, while teams that can't travel to an interdistrict...

Re: Inspirational teams

For myself, I would say teams 67 and 469, specifically in 2010. I attended the 2010 Detroit district, and 67 was the first team I ever saw in action, and I was just amazed by their robot. Then, I...

Re: Favorite Playoff Matchup of Stronghold

Re: Best Scaling Bot This Season?

Re: Best Up-And-Coming Teams

4 teams I would put in this category:

4967 has been a powerhouse from day 1 in my opinion, so I can't put them as up and coming, but they fit the thread.

5050 had a rough first two years but this...

Re: 2016 IRI Rule Change Suggestions

Whatever you do, please do not get rid of the Category C defenses completely. Many teams (including mine) use it as a safe way to get out of the courtyard, which is a valid strategy.

Re: Why is Engineering Inspiration viewed as second place to the Chairman's Award?

If you're asking for a team that was given the award instead of the repeat winners, they didn't re-award it. It ended up just reducing the pool of EI applicants at MSC.

Re: Why is Engineering Inspiration viewed as second place to the Chairman's Award?

If what you're trying to accomplish with the bolding is to highlight teams that won both DCA and DEI, 3175 and 2337 both did not win DCA, we both just were in the situation where we were repeat DEI...
