Well, I suppose that I'm going to have to go wtih my favorites and the teams that I know and have seen preform year after year.

#111--Is there ever a doubt that Wildstang will preform well?

#47--An powerhouse in FIRST, Chief is always a threat.

#71--Hammond always has a quality, well thought out machine.

#68--After being a member of team #16, I know that T3 is always a threat in the finals. We had the chance to be allianced with them more than once.

I know that there are many more awesome machines out there; however, I'm just listing the ones that automatically pop into my head.(I could spend hours listing and debating, but I have finals approaching.) These machines have had dramatic impacts during my FIRST career. (Yes, I'm choosing the easy answers.) There are also many teams on the east and west coasts which are wonderful; however, being mainly exposed to the Michigan and Midwest regionals, I feel that those are the teams that I can without doubt vouch for.

As for the second question asked, I'm not sure. I really don't think that success will nescessarily ride upon whether a team does one function or many, as long as the tasks that the robot can preform are done well and consistently. I really believe consistency is going to be a major factor in this competition. Is your robot reliable, and can your drivers manipulate your robot with perfection?
These questions will see answers very soon. I can't wait.
Good Luck!
Becky

: What teams do you think will really stand out? Will these teams be able to do everything or one specfic thing?
