Top 3 bots in your state: 2013

[Tetraman]

New York produced many good teams this year, and the top 3 are well deserving.

#20, The Rocketeers
Not only the top NY team of the year, but also the top NY team - end of sentence. Think of it like this: they were the only New York team selected for IRI. They had a great machine this year and they shown it with impressive wins, including a 15-0-0 record at the Connecticut Regional, shooting less than 100 points in only 2 of those 15 matches.

#2791, Shaker Robotics.
An overall impressive robot this year. While I could give this spot to about 10 other teams, Shaker Robotics has to be mentioned. They played impressivly at WPI, earning top spot and picking team 20. So even though they just got finalist, if you make it first seed and pick the overall best NY team, then you are getting the second overall NY team by golly.

#3003, TAN(X)
Again, I could give this spot to so many teams, but I want to specifically highlight 3003. They won the most difficult FLR to date, played solidly at Buckeye and was ranked 34th in Archemedies with a 5-3 record. Still need more proof? They went 24-14-0 this year. Their total record from 2009 to 2012 was 18-25-2. Yes, they won more matches in 2013 than they had in their previous 4 years combined. Let's hope they can keep it up.
