Re: Troy Athens Regional

No doubt, the chickens have an excellent robot. Many people forget, however, that their performance at their first district was also influenced by the fact that they had already played a regional event. That helped them come in with a strategy, a robot that had few bugs left, and a drive team that had already played against excellent competition.

I'm not saying that to detract from 217 in any way. They are clearly one of the robots to beat this year. I AM saying that to point out that a number of other teams - 910, 33, 27, and 67, have robots that look just as deadly, and have been steadily improving at a very good clip.

State Championships is going to be incredible. I won't bother making a prediction about Troy - they're too far into the qualifying matches for it to be a guess anymore.
