Who did I miss?

70: Can put up a couple of tall stacks, primarily from the landfill, has a solid 3-tote autonomous routine... Finished 4th in Michigan Champs qualifiers, but has something to prove after being eliminated in the 4th round.

107: Another Michigan team. ONly finished 15th in Michigan Champs qualifiers, but was an early pick (#3). Sports a solid 20 pt. autonomous and can put up two full stacks from the feeder station. Made it to semis in Michigan.

303: Another very solid feeder-station bot - had a very strong season in MAR. Can solidly put up two full stacks -and perhaps a little more. 6th in the Mid-Atlantic Champs, lost in the finals.

379: Out of Cleveland, this is another strong, consistent feeder station bot capable of putting up two full stacks plus a few more totes. Claim to fame: Competed in two regionals, #1 captain in both, won Buckeye.

701: This is perhaps the only team in the world this year to compete in three regionals - and lose in the finals in all three - against very strong competition. Another solid feeder station bot able to put up two full stacks - though has sown some play in the landfill.

948: Another very solid feeder station bot - able to put up two full stacks, plus a little more. Adds a very strong 20pt auto +fast coopertition combo that could affect qualifiers. Has been inconsistent all year. Put up the highest score in PNW this year.

1318: A PNW landfill bot with a pretty quick two-bin grab that consistently puts up two-five stacks from the landfill. Will compliment all the strong feeder bots well. 3 district events, 3 district wins.

1574: Won in Israel; can quickly grab two center bins... Some inconsistency in scoring...

3309: Three regionals this year, improvement at each one, culminating in a win in Arizona. This bot will put up 3 full stacks from teh landfill if allowed to do so - and has a very strong 20 pt autonomous. If it develops a way to snatch center bins during autonomous, this bot could be dangerous.

3663: Another strong feeder station bot - consistently putting up two six-stacks. Rumor has it that this PNW bot now also has an autonomous bin grabber...

3937: Yet another strong feeder station bot - able to put up two full stacks - plus a few more bins. Won at Bayou.

4061: Another strong feeder station bot from the PNW. It's ability to use tipped over bins sets it apart, though. Able to put up two full stacks from the feeder and recently added a pretty darn quick bin-grabber. Definitely has something to prove after a "software error" helped it to an early exit in PNW champs.

4143: A feeder/landfill hybrid able to put up two full stacks during teleop... Can snag center bins with long arm during teleop... May be able to do so during autonomous.

Good bots that almost made this list:
610, 1156, 2046, 3959, 4450, 5046

You're still overlooking 4613. They seeded 1st in Australia over the 359 Hawaiian kids. 3 tote + 3 can auto and 3 stacks of 6 from HP station.
