1772 is an awesome team from Brazil. They were very tough competition at Palmetto this year!
It is humbling (and really cool) to have some many say that 343 is one of the best in SC. BUT based on other factors...
342 and 1398 are very strong Chairman's teams every year. I also have a feeling that 2815 may be jumping into that next year.
343 won our first little safety pin EVER this year at Florida (kind of pathetic)...1319 wins a Safety Award

EVERY year and sometimes at multiple regionals.
As stated earlier 1102 does dominate SC with their FTC teams. They also showed this year that they can regroup and be successful after a bad showing. They went from Florida...where they had issues... and then to Palmetto and where they were Finalists!
Now with my completely prejudice opinion, of course I think 343 is the best, but I also just love 1398!! They work extremely hard and have always been successful...just not always with robots. But now thanks to 2815

their robots will probably become very competitive!
