Maybe I just haven't been in the right circles, but I haven't seen nearly as much recognition as I thought there would be for 1507 or 340.

340 is one of the best pure dumper bots ('pure' meaning no shooting, as in 548 or 1323) I've seen so far, and after a finalist and winning finish at Finger Lakes and Buckeye respectively, almost definitely the most successful. I'm surprised there is not a lot more buzz over them, being one of the most successful teams without a shooter.

1507 is, hands down, one of the strongest shooters. They may not necessarily be on par with 2056/67/1717/etc., but they rarely miss more than one shot per every 3 taken, and usually sink all 3. They've won both of their events this season, both times captaining their alliance as the number 1 seed. They almost always hit both shots in autonomous, and are more than proficient with tipping and balancing the bridge.

Unfortunately, the upstate New York region doesn't seem to get a lot of recognition, but both of these teams will be teams to watch in St.Louis. I can easily see 1507 on Einstein again, and 340 will be a strong contender in any division they're in.
