Re: Top 3 bots in your state: 2013

I believe someone has already picked this identical order, but for Minnesota, I would have to say:

2052-- KnightKrawler's machine was magnificent to watch, winning them two regionals plus State Championships and putting them in eliminations at Championships. Far and away the best cycler in Minnesota, they drove their mecanum drive in a way that wasn't just impressive on the field, but was also a joy to watch.

2169-- I think these guys were the best known team in Minnesota this season, thanks to their fast and accurate full court shooting and simple design. Watching them drain almost every disk in a last ditch effort on the Galileo field while everyone else was waiting on Einstein was easily my top moment this season.

2512-- A jack of all trades, I saw 2512 pick up off the floor with their ingenious sorting system, full court shoot, cycle, and climb for ten all season, all on an octocanum. Really fun to watch and effective.

Honorable mentions:
2705 had a unique and effective (if a bit slow) 30-point climb that was one of the only effective ones in Minnesota.

3313 was an excellent cycler with some technical problems-- plus bonus points for their super-simple design and awesome outreach (I mean, they basically put up how to build their robot).

2177 would have been top three if they had been more effective on the field-- their thirty point climb and dunk was brilliantly executed, but just not enough.
