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.
