Best Team Without A Win in 2013

[lakstick]

Who do you think is the best team that didn't win any event this year? In my personal opinion, I would have to say 3476 - Code Orange is the best without a win. Their incredible autonomous and floor pickup is amazing! Unfortunately, they caught some unlucky breaks in eliminations. Also, being a Michigan team, I'm shocked that 67 - The HOT Team hasn't won any districts this year! What are your thoughts?

I think this is the unanimous winner: Team 624 Cryptonite.

1310. 2 Time finalist to 1114 and 2056, second pick (after 1114) both times, 7 disk auto, full court, 10 point hang, AND a decent cycler.

2791 really picked up their game at WPI. Although 2168's killer defense defeated 2791 in finals (along with every other team), I thought that 2791 deserved a spot at CMP. (I'm biased, but 177 also)

Highest peak performance without a win in 2013? Definitely the HOT team, hands down.

Most consistently good without a win in 2013? Either 1310 or 624, in my book.

From CA,

971 had a great robot with 7 disc auto (Finalist at Sac and Quarterfinalist at SVR)

3970 was an excellent cycler with a zippy drivtrain that flew over discs. (Finalist at CVR as 1st pick)

330 has a great robot, 5-7 disc auto, sub 30" robot that could block at almost 84". (Semifinalist at LA against winner and Quarterfinalist at LV against winner)

599 sub 30 full court shooter and cycler, made a habbit out of the buzzer beater climber. (Quarterfinalist at SD against winner and Finalist at LA)

294 had great defensive abilities with their intake, and weren't bad at shootin either. (Quarterfinalist at CVR and LA, both times against Finalist)(previous 2 time world champs)

From my neck of the woods, I'd say 3928, 2826, and 1625 (in no particular order)

1662. First seed at the Sacramento regional. Excellent and zippy drivetrain. Fast feeder. Good ground pickup for 5 disc autonomous. Quick ten point hang.

624: The robot from Texas should definitely be at championships this year and were a very good robot this year with an good team to match.

1625: Although things were rocky at there first regional they pulled themselves together at Midwest to make it to a regional finalist.

3928: This robot absolutely surprised me at Kansas City Regional with an great 7 disk and wonderful students.

67: Well Hot is looking very good for championships with lots of different problems plaguing them this season they still made it to MSC Finals and Troy Finals. 67 is an great team who can pull themselves from the clutches of defeat.

3528: Upnext is a very good team whom is coming through the ranks and becoming an Kansas/Missouri powerhouse with an very accurate 5 disk and good ground game they built an really good robot this year with all the fixings.

971: When I first saw this robot I was like That is by far one of the coolest looking intakes I have seen. They are an great Floor pickup robot.

2826: Wave has an incredible cycler robot with an 5 disk to match. Basically playing 111 alone after there climb and dump was TKO but they kept up in points. This robot has made "waves" (see what I did there )

Those are all I can think of currently. Personally 624 which we are close friends with is the general winner. /thread

Hot after we beat them out at waterford during quarterfinals

We got the wild card at IER.

After being around the field with them this weekend at Curie - 67 is absolutely the best robot to not win an event in 2013. Awesome machine.
