Re: Best Team Without A Win in 2013

With Champs being over, I think that this unfortunate title can be handed to team 67, the GM mean machine from Milford Michigan. Given that this is 67's first year in who knows how many years (Possibly their existence) without a single win, being outed in Quarters, then THREE Finals in a row must hurt for them. To quote (probably more paraphrasing), this team is one where "Excellence is the standard. Victory is expected." They built one of the most feared robots in FIRST this year, as they do every year. Strikingly similar to the 1114 bot, their FCS, when in place, would rapidly fill up the third goal and almost never miss a shot. Once they've finally emptied the feeder station (Read: At the one minute mark), they would get their fill of colored discs and proceed to travel to the corner of the pyramid to begin their (literal) pyramid-jarring ascent for a solid 50 point end game.
I would have put money on them, if I were 21.
