Re: What teams have improved the most in the shortest amount of time?
Minnesota has had a number of teams that have risen quickly in a short matter of time (2175, 5172, 3130, 2503, etc).
However, one stands out to me time and time again. 2052, KnightKrawler from Irondale HS in New Brighton. Prior to 2012, 2052 had won a couple of team awards and made the elims in 2011 at the Lake Superior Regional.
In 2012 things started to change as they made the Finals at Lake Superior and won the EE award. From then on they have been on a great run. Here is what they have accomplished since 2012 (from what I could mine from TBA and from my own memory):
(1) Regional Chairmans Award This in a state where we have a LOT of great CA competition at our Regionals from inside and out!
(1) Einstein Appearance
(3) State Championships (most in MN)
(1) MSHSL State Tournament - Runners-up
(5) Regional Wins
(5) Regional Finalist
(2) Engineering Excellence
(2) Innovation in Control
(1) Gracious Professionalism
(1) Industrial Design
(1) Quality Award
They are in a class of their own in Minnesota!
