The pacific northwest as a region is underrated, but a few teams in particular come to mind:

2471 - always has very creative and innovative machines, not to mention a fantastic use of a variety of material selection
1425 - often overlooked, but has really upped their game in the last couple years
2733 is a team to watch over the next few years. They haven't quite broken through yet, but they're definitely figuring out how to build quality machines.
