Inspired by
this thread, who are the top teams in your state that are currently eligible to win the most important award in FIRST?
For MN the conversation starts with 1816. They built MNFIRST and they are a legitimate contender to be the next HoF team.
2. Next up is 2220 in my opinion. They consistently are in the running for CA, and they have started a ridiculous amount of FTC teams (I think like 10 or more).
3. 2169 could easily be interchanged with 2220. They are one of the most well rounded teams in MN, competing on and off the field to an exceptional degree.
Other Competitors (have won CA or EI in the past, and are consistent threats to win): 2512, 3313, and 2500
Up-and-comers (haven't won yet, but have the body of work to win):
2977 - They are doing some really cool things with their 7 Rivers Coalition
4607 - Started FRC Jumpstart, 3 FTC teams, and a bunch of FLL teams. Started Central MN Robotics Hub, and have mentored 6 FRC rookie teams in the last 2 years. (I say more because I know more)
So I'd love to hear about the Chairman's competitors in your region!
