My top 5 for Minnesota(I submitted my top teams in the survey but wanted to give some reasoning behind it),

1) 2512- With one of the best 3 tote auto's out there, they amazed everyone with their 3 tote auto at their week 1 regional which is impressive in my book. They improved in between competitions and were dominant at the MN state championship. They were capable of scoring 104 points a match at times(3 tote auto + 2 capped and noodled 6 stacks) at state.

2) 3130- Best MN landfill bot this year. These guys put up high scores at Northern Lights and North star this year. They were ranked 4th in newton and ended up as semi-finalists! I'm really happy for their double banner season!

3) 2502- Best HP loader bot from MN this year. These guys dominated at 10,000 lakes. They were even better at champs where they were picked 9th overall by the 8th seeded alliance! I'm glad we got to compete with 2502 twice and I was disappointed that they didn't qualify for state.

3) 2883- FRED had an amazing ability to make stacks in chunks. They were extremely reliable and I was glad that we got to compete with them twice this year! Their tethered ramp addition was a smart idea before the state tournament which made them much quicker.

5) 2169- Another robot that didn't qualify for state which deserved to. They did very well at the Wisconsin regional and champs. 2nd best landfill bot in Minnesota and one of the best can burglar bots from MN at champs(Picked 8th overall in Hopper). I felt like they were really underrated this year and they were one of the best robots coming out of MN.
