Re: Top 3 bots in your state: 2013

Minnesota (not fair since there are so many teams):
2169 King TeC - most consistent FCS I have yet seen. They also shoot discs from the highest possible point, making defense on them a nuisance at best. No big deal you say, just stop them from getting into position. Good luck. They have an incredible shifting drive train. They can climb for 10 like the best of them, but usually don't because they can score more with discs.

2175 The Fighting Calculators - 5-disk auto, guaranteed 4-cycles, can drive circles around defenders, then climb for 10.

2512 Daredevils - FCS to rival even 2169, consistent cycler, ingenious ground pickup, 10-point hang. They've got it all

Honorable mentions:
3018 Nordic Storm - Creativity award at Champs for their 50-point climb/dump.

2705 WE ROBOT - 18 in autonomous, 2 cycles, then a 3rd level climb in every match they played. They surely would have advanced further in every competition (Lake Superior, 10K Lakes, MSHSL State Championship) if they wouldn't have had to play us . Definitely one of my favorite robots to watch.
