Re: Successful teams in FRC history
Another piece of being successful on Einstein: interteam relationships. Get to know people from successful teams and build up relationships with them. I believe EJ mentioned on Gamesense that a large part of their division picking strategy (specifically picking 2848). While an excellent robot certainly played into their decision, being able to work with other drive teams and having those relationships can help teams on the edge up their game and get into eliminations and Einstein.
For a lot of teams, building these relationships is something natural in their own area, but at Champs, long-distance relationships is key.
This isn't to say that you can be one of those incredibly successful teams with a mediocre robot, but soft skills are what separates teams with great robots from great teams with great robots.
