Re: What does it take to be considered and elite team?

The elite teams in FIRST need to have consitant sucess year after year, which pretty much means high perfomances at the Championship year after year.

Also, I think an elite team is one that consistantly draws attention, an example would be all the teams mentioned in this thread, we know who all these teams are, therefore they are the elite teams.

Each part of the country has its own elite teams, being from New England, I know that the UTC teams are always high perfomers, along with many other teams like 121 from RI. Some of the other teams, like 71 from the Midwest and the Cheesy Poofs from Cali, are elite to those people around them. It is the few select teams that are know nationwide that are the elite teams of FIRST.
