1507 is actually usually a pretty strong contender at FLR, stemming from their finalist finish in 2008, I believe. 2009 was, to me, their big 'BREAK OUT' year at Finger Lakes, winning the regional and making it to Einstein later that year. 2010, their robot was a great piece of machinery. Though it didn't win the event, it earned several engineering awards if I recall correctly. 2011 was a strong year you 1507 as well. Though they took a year off from Finger Lakes, they had a strong showing in Pittsburgh alongside 48, The Delphi ELITE, going down in the finalist to the ever-potent combination of 1114 and 1503.
1507's 2012 return to Finger Lakes showed them to be as dominant as ever. 1507 is one of the most famous teams to come out of Finger Lakes, a former highest rookie seed at champs (that I had to do a little research for), and (one of, if not THE) the most recent FLR team to make it to Einstein (if I'm thinking correctly).
This year, 1507 is at the top of the mountain for the Finger Lakes region, but they've been floating around there for the past few years, as the only team to receive the Highest New York Seed Trophy twice in the last few years.
