The rookies this year amazed me. It may be that I haven't paid attention in the past but this year's class seemed especially notable. I'm definitely missing some in this list but of the teams I'm more familiar with, in team number order:

5817- A rookie with a swerve and one of the scariest shooters I heard all year. They made playoffs at both of their regionals as well as RAS. Had a few issues on an incredibly stacked Newton but had a few good matches.

5818- Already been talked about on this thread, I know, but we had the pleasure of playing a match with them at Idaho. Excellent robot, and I definitely would not have thought they were rookies by their robot and the way they conducted themselves.

5895- Mentioned many times on this thread already and many have already said what I've wanted to. They had an amazing run on Carson and an excellent robot.

Obviously there are many more amazing teams that I missed, but these are the ones that really stood out to me this season.
