No real presense on here, but I have to call out my Alma Mater, 1102 M'Aiken Magic. Financial reasons (and a focus on their incredible FTC teams) keeps them down to one Regional per year, but from 2012 - 2015 they
never seeded outside of the top 8, topping out at 4th and 3rd recently. As to what is keeping them from winning . . . I'm not sure. They haven't been able to seed 1st and it often appears that their strategy is to do so, maybe they don't often compliment other robots in the game.
