All of the Minnesota teams (208 of them) can trace their roots back to the work that Green Machine has done. My team has been a beneficiary of the work that they have done - we have taken what they did and put together our own playbook. There are so many teams that we look up to (2052, 2175, 2220, 2512, 2169, etc) but 1816 is always the team that we compare ourselves to. Just wrong that they are not at Champs this season.

So sad that they didn't qualify this year. Meeting them in Minnesota made it clear that they've been instrumental in growing FIRST in the Midwest region. They're also spectacularly nice people!! They got 2 Dean's List finalists in Iowa, so they'll have some students representing the team at Worlds
This chart was quite fascinating in considering the next entrant to the HoF. Helps to show some trends too. Couldn't find the thread its from, someone else made it!
