Re: Best Teams Not In Atlanta 2009

330 & 968 obviously top my list. But there are two teams I saw up close in both Rochester and Toronto who definitely belong on this list.

1126 - It's going to be very weird to not have this two time Einstein team in attendance. Their robot was very competent this year and was coupled with some great strategy. They could have been a major player in Atlanta.

610 - One of the most underrated robots in FIRST this season. A power dumper with a huge capacity and great driving. Much like their 2007 season, it's a shame this great team won't be attending the Championship.

Other teams I didn't see in person, but definitely are up there include, 103, 69, 100, 910 and 694.
