Every year there are a lot of teams out there with good robots, but just fall on bad luck (I know the feeling). This year, two teams I noticed who had really good robots and fell on a bad break would be team's 25 from Palmetto and 1251 from Palmetto and FL. In fact, both teams were allied in the finals at Palmetto, but thats not the only reason I picked them.
Team 25 impressed me several times and were one goal short of owning all the rows in a match once. Team 1251 was also very impressive, they played like a vet team. 1251 were also finalists at both Palmetto and FL, coming very close to wining in both cases.
I am excited to be seeing both teams again at Nationals and wish them both luck...
but not too much
