I think the district ranking system is a bit overrated ... but that's a whole different discussion.
For now,
I'm interested in a championship-level teams Texas teams that did not make Championship. I think too many teams in Texas are under the radar because of the giant PR balloon created by the big 4 Texas teams.
In no particular order, here is my list:
231 - ranked 3 at LSR, ranked 6 at Dallas, made elims in all three events. Very solid robot with a two-ball autonomous.
3481 - Bronc Botz - made finals at Dallas, elims in all three events, quality drivetrain and robot
1296 - Full Metal Jackets - good shooter and collection system, made elims in both events.
704 - Warriors - Ranked 8th at Dallas - great team and robot
4587 - Jersey Voltage - amazing 2nd year team , expect big things from 4587
2881 - Lady Cans- one of the best dual collector robots in Texas. best live group performance at a Robotics event !
3005 - RoboChargers- up and coming team, had one of their best years and great robot performance
3999 - Shadetree Mechanics- solid passing robot that made elims at Alamo & LSR
3735 - KlienBots should have made the elims at LSR , best robot in their team history
2936 - Gatorzillas - amazing team , attempted swerve this year and a powerful shooter
3335 - made elims at LSR & Alamo , best robot in their team history
1429 - strong team with an ok robot this year. They tried to lay low for the elims at LSR, but sometimes it will make you miss elims.
3545 - Stacey Robotics - good shooting robot. Should have made elims at LSR.
