Illinois:
In numerical team order, it looks like it would be the following:
1625 - Overall record of 27-3-1 (tie vs. 2481), Winners at Midwest (w/ 2451) (Quality Award), QF at Wisconsin
2451 - Overall record of 25-8-0, Winners at Midwest (w/ 1625) (Excellence in Engineering Award), QF at CIR
2481 - Overall record of 23-8-1 (tie vs. 1625), Winners at Wisconsin (Innovation in Control Award), QF at CIR
This would be an awesomely versatile alliance we would be honored to be a part of. The slick swerve driving twins of 2451 and 2481 would cause both offensive and defensive havoc (and would be virtually interchangable, on the fly, in any role) and 1625 has great truss passing capability to forward the ball down the field quickly and efficiently (they'd also be more than capable of putting the ball in the goal themselves, if needed). All 3 have great hot goal autos, so a perfect 75 points would be on the board before tele-op starts. We had the honor to compete against both teams this year, and it would be great fun to partner up for sure. 1625 and 2451 also partnered up in winning Midwest so the familiarity is there. We also played with 2451 in a very early qualifier match, week 1, at CIR and had great synergy with our twin swerve drives putting up 145 points in a very solid and offensively/defensively balanced victory. Lets see if the division gods make it possible for any of us to team up in St. Louis.

Special shout outs to:
1756 - Finalists at Boilermaker (Imagery Award), SF at CIR (Industrial Design Award)
2081 - SF at CIR (Engineering Excellence Award), QF at Wisconsin (Engineering Inspiration Award)
4296 - Winners at CIR, SF at Wisconsin
5125 - Winners at Midwest (w/ 1625 and 2451) (Highest Rookie Seed Award)
You also can't mention Illinois FRC teams without 111. They had a bit of a rough showing in Wisconsin, but improved greatly for Midwest. I'm banking they'll be charactaristically hitting a high gear when they show up in St. Louis. Can't wait to see the tie-dyed warriors again. It's always an honor to share the field with them. Illinois will be well represented at Championships this year, for sure! Good luck to all the great teams!
