Day 3:
548: The Robostangs. FIM Rank 9. 548 is a two time winner (Livonia and Bedford) and one time finalist (Southfield), looking to continue the winning streak in the next few days. The Robostangs are a HP fed robot that requires the impressive skills of their HP to land the totes upright. Utilizing a chain and hook elevator, 548 stacks incredibly quickly while holding an RC on top. While their stacking is impressive, 548 has shown off the fastest canburglar in FIM to date. If other teams don't catch up or surpass this speed at MSC, expect 548 to have at least 2 extra RCs to play with every match.
Achilles Heel: Only 5 tote stacks
Impressive match:
Q41 Bedford
3641: The Flying Toasters: FIM Rank 34. 3641 is a two time finalist (Livonia and Bedford) and one time Semifinalist (Gull Lake), looking for their first victory of the year at MSC. The Flying Toasters are another HP fed robot, but with a built in back loading ramp. This allows 3641 to stack very fast, creating 6 stacks, without being attached to a tether. 3641 isn't anything flashy, but given a station, they will put up some big points.
Achilles Heel: Auton
Impressive match:
F2 Bedford
33. The Killer Bees: FIM Rank 2. 33 is a two time winner (Southfield and Troy), accomplished this by creating the best landfill miner in FIM. 33 sports a unique design of a lightning fast intake, quick elevator, stabilization bar, and long RC arm. 33 puts up impressive points from a 20 point auton, and clearing the landfill with 3 six stacks and 2 RCs from the step in teleop. 33 will be a great alliance partner is qualifications and eliminations in a field full of HP loaders.
Achilles Heel: Stability
Impressive match:
Q61 Troy
Honorable mentions that almost made my top 10: 66, 217, 1025 1918, 2337, 2834. I look forward to watching all these teams compete this weekend in the largest MSC ever!
