I have to concur on 233 however. They've always been strong, but especially so in the last 5 years, winning divisions in 07, 08 and 10, and finalist in 2011. This comes in addition to 5 regional wins in that same time. They've been as close as 1 match from championship gold, and the repeated success in divisional play gives them the nod from me. |

Re: Best Team Never To Win at Championships?
Before this season it was definitely team 254 and now I will say that 233 is now long overdue just due to their long history of excellence and performance. It is true that 2056 has had 11 consecutive regional wins, but 233 has been playing at a consistently high level for a longer period of time.
Teams also in need of a win: 2056, 968, 33, and 16. |

Re: Best Team Never To Win at Championships?
Andy Baker's also been good enough to provide video of one of the most amazing matches of all time (featuring 47): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FJFbvHRyco
It's remarkable how easily the robot picks up the balls, especially considering the drivers are across the field, with obstructions. |

Re: Best Team Never To Win at Championships?
1625 deserves a nod. In the past 4 years, they have 3 regional wins, 3 regional finalists, a division win, and so many other stacked alliances that nearly upset strong opponents (Midwest 2008, Midwest 2010, Midwest 2011). They've been arguably as consistent or more consistent than "traditional" Midwest powerhouses like 111 and 71.

In the modern era of FRC, 233 has been too good for too long to be anything less than The Best Team Not To Win It All. Take nothing away from 2056's impressive accomplishments, but by the time they made Einstein in 2010, Pink was over on the other side of the bracket with their fourth division champion trophy (and if you went a little further back in their trophy room, you'd see a pair of division finalist trophies in there too). |

Re: Best Team Never To Win at Championships?
If it wasn't for penalties to their alliance partner, 233 (and 968) would have eliminated 1114 in the semi-finals on Einstein 2008. Pink is, without question, both the best team to not have a championship, and the most successful team to not have a championship.

233 and 968 have definitely been as strong as many past champions, and deserve a championship simply based on how close they've come. 2056 is younger so they haven't been waiting as long as teams like 233, but given the way they perform in regionals it is surprising they haven't won it all. I think 1717 deserves mention. They haven't been waiting as long, but they have been divisions finalists a number of times. I think it's easy to forget how good they were in 08. They seeded second in Galileo (a field that included 1114, 217, 148, 330, 254, 103, 25, 40, 121). Then they lost to the eventual champions. Then in 2009 they lost in the division finals to the eventual champions again. It may not be quite as close as 233 and 968 have come, but they certainly came a lot closer than it may appear on first glance. |
