So many good teams, unfortunately not going!
This new system really reaked havoc on the teams in the NE Regional. I have watched regionals from every part of the country, and I will say that some of the best robots were here in the northeast. The sad part...many of them aren't going! We all know that 157 isn't going, which is a shame because that was one of the nastiest ball scorers at the competition. I saw that team 69 isn't going either!!! Now that is crazy, they won the NE Regional, and played a huge part in why they alliance won it! They would have been one of my favorites to win it all! Also, I heard around the grapevine that the team with the most unbelievable ball pickup ever (clocked them at having 20 balls in posession 5 seconds into a match) team 95, would not be able to make it. Is this true? If so, ya gotta think with the lack of these teams, that will kinda taint the feel of winning the championship event. Now don't get me wrong, I was highly impressed with what I saw out of 60, 71, and 469, but after this past weekend my whole view on what it takes to win this game changed, with teams like 69, 95, 121, 173, and 157, solid, powerful, fast ball scorers dominating the game.
Days like this, you wish Rumble at the Rock was still around...then we would truely know who was indeed the best.
