I would agree with this, based off Peachtree. (Full disclosure: We played with 1311 and 1771 in eliminations there, and I am a registered fan of 2415.)

For South Carolina, the two obvious standouts for me were 1319 (two silvers and a semifinals at regionals) and 343 (two silvers making for four events in a row going back to 2011).

I feel the third spot has to go to a team that brought home gold, and that's a surprisingly short list this year: 281 and 2815, both at Palmetto, the latter the backup for the former. We both got out in the quarters at our other events (Peachtree for us, North Carolina for them), and neither of us got out of qualification rounds in St. Louis. I personally hate tooting my own horn, so do your homework and draw your conclusions.

Had the opportunity to compete in both regionals in Missouri this year. Here is what I observed.

#1: 1986

#2: 3528

#3: 1985

A lot of great teams attended the two Missouri regionals from out of state as well. Both regionals are on opposite state borders.

So as you may notice i made mine to Province instead...

Ontario:
1. 2056 - never lost a regional EVER, 3 Golds this year, and Division Winners
2. 1114 - World Chairmen's, 2 Gold medal's, and Division winners
3. 610 - 1 Gold, 1 Silver

Honorable Mentions:
188 - Great robots every year
1503 - also amazing robots, and could pickup from the ground this year :O!

Best robots in CA while competing in regionals

-1717
-973
-971

Best robots in CA while competing at championhships

-1717
-973
-254

TBH, 971 topped 254 in the regional level. However, it seemed that 254 perfected their aiming in the time between Central Valley and St. Louis, and Spartan robotics ran into some trouble at champs, causing 254 to top 971 at the championship level.

Connecticut is 2168, 177, and 195

I'm familiar with upstate New York, but I can't really post a top 3 for the State without knowing much about the NYC/Long Island teams.

CA 1717, 971, 254

[GRT808]

HI, 359, 368, 1056

[Andrew Schreiber]

FL - 180, 233, 1065

[BleakRNS]

For Arizona, I'd say 842, 2486, and 2840.

[Peyton Yeung]

IN- 3940, 829, 868

#2: 2898: Flying Hedgehogs
These guys were good at Portland, rocked even harder at Seattle, and although I didn't see them perform at Archimedes I'm sure they brought some fight there as well. These guys and the Flaming Chickens are two of the top teams that made me proud to be a part of the Pacific Northwest's FIRST community this year.

#3: 2733: Pigmice
Video included because they're the only ones on my list who didn't go to World's this year, and I think more people outside of OR/WA should see their robot. It's a wonderful idea and I think they did a great job with it.

If this is just about Bots then you should combine 1510 and 2898, since the robots were completely identical.

I got the chance to attend all three Texas regionals and Bayou this year, so I saw a lot (if not all) of the Texas teams.

It's hard not to pick 148 and 1477 since they each grabbed two regional wins. 118 has to be added to list since they got the win at Lone Star and made it to Einstein with one of the best robots in the nation.

It's hard to leave 624 off this list since they probably had the most accurate shooter in Texas and the in my opinion the best robot they have built in the past 10 years.

#1 in Minnesota is KingTeC, 2169
#2 in Minnesota (tied) Knightkrawler, 2056 and RoboEagles, 3081

Normally I would consider myself biased because I do mentor 3081 but I only mentor students from 3081 on non-technical items.

I would actually say its a big tie for third between 2840, 498, 2449, 1492 with maybe 2449 with a slight advantage. We are also very flattered.
