Re: Team 610 - The Other Other Canadian Team

You Canadians don't give yourself enough credit. While 1114 and 2056 are great, the majority of us also know a fair amount about the "other" Canadian teams.

610's robots are even more consistent in recent years, this year's is a great example of that. 09 still being my favorite.

Other good Canadian teams include 854, 1241, 1547, 188, 1075, 1503, 2609, 1305, 1310.

Don't think that we don't know who you all are!

Re: Team 610 - The Other Other Canadian Team

haha thanks for the kind words, speaking for myself, I guess we feel overshadowed by 1114 and 2056. I just wanted to make sure that people are aware of our other great Canadian teams, and that we are coming for yea .

But I would also say that the largest factor why we have so many high quality teams up here is because of the fact that we compete against two of the best teams in the world every year, and are inspired more every year to step our game up and create great robots to compete against them.

I know my team is also excited to play against the likes of 148, 233, 16, 25, 27, 79, 179... ect in Newton.

Re: Team 610 - The Other Other Canadian Team

It's been a really great year for Canadian teams:

1114 and 2056 have been outright dominant - even more so than in the past. Many of my colleagues have noted that even though the other teams in the area have stepped it up, we have never seen this duo perform at a level so much higher than the rest of the field. They are scary good... be afraid.

1503 has surprised many with their lack of ground pick-up, but easily has one of the fastest, most efficient, well-practiced and reliable robots in all of FIRST. Ground pick-up or not, this team puts up a lot of points - end of story.

781 has really established themselves as a serious force this year, and I think you can safely predict that they will cause some serious noise on Archimedes. I really like what this team has done this year, and will be trying to follow them as much as possible through Champs. They were picked before us at both our regionals, and for very good reason.

My two Canadian darkhorses this year are definitely 2809, and 188. Although you can't really ever call 188 a darkhorse... good robot or bad, they always seem to find a way to win. But both teams can score tubes at a deadly rate, but still haven't seemed to dial everything in to perform consistently every match. The timing seems right for both these teams to put it all together in St. Louis, and I'm betting that they both do.

Wink Re: Team 610 - The Other Other Canadian Team

In Pittsburgh 4 Canadian teams attended the regional. 3/4 teams were in the top 8 (1114 1st, 772 3rd, and 1503 5th) This shows how well the canadian teams can do compaired american teams, we(canadians) are mostly amazing teams but we sometimes dont get the chance to win a regional be cause we are against world leaders (1114 and 2056). Keep it up Canada!!

Re: Team 610 - The Other Other Canadian Team

@Akash: Thanks for the kind words, thats one of the first times 1075's been included on a list like that, and I like to think its because of the team's huge push for excellence this year.

@JNo:

I agree, the Canadian 2nd tier (everyone who's decent but not 1114/2056) is chock full of darkhorses that are relatively unknown outside of Canada because we all get hidden in the shadow of the 2 goliaths.

We're all improving our game every year because we're trying to keep pace with 1114/2056. In 5 years, nobody has managed to unseat the pair as #1 seeded champions at any of the Canadian regionals, but many teams, and especially so in 2011, have stepped up their game big time, and gotten relatively little recognition for it on a global scale.

610, 188, 1075, 1305, 1334, 1241, 781, 772, 907, 3117, 2702, 2809, 1310 and more all had robots capable of winning at less competitive regionals, but were crushed by the overbearing power of the NiagaraFIRST alliance.

Between the two GTR events this year, there were a total 71 teams combined, 15 teams with OPR > 20, 8 with OPR > 30, 7 with OPR > 35. Compare to WA and WA2 (a similar setup, 100 teams present combined, 8 teams total with OPR > 20, 2 with OPR > 30, 0 with OPR > 35)

WA and WA2 had nearly 50% more teams than ON and ON2, and had far less at the top end. Any of the top 15 in Canada could have gone to WA or WA2 and been in serious contention for the win.

Would love to see Canadian teams in Seattle!

Trobotics 1346 did not attend WA/WA2 this year... I'm hoping for a comeback soon.
