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.

They are in a class of their own in Minnesota!

Thanks for the kind words Chief Hedgehog.

4607 went from being a robot with a blocker on that was picked for defense at the North Star Regional in 2013 and MN State Championship in 2013, to being ranked 2nd at the MN State Championship in 2014 and getting 2nd place that year because of their phenomenal truss shot robot. During this year, their robot was one of the most feared defenders out there capable of shutting down us, 359, 5172, etc. and their team also won their first ever chairman's award this season.. young teams winning RCA is rare and 4607 worked hard and did it this year which is impressive considering they went against 2169, 2826, 2194, etc in chairman's at that regional. They were even picked as a defender in the Carver division and were quarter-finalists which is impressive for such a young team.
