Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

Wisconsin has several good teams that I'm sad to not see on the list, including 2826-Wave, 706-Cyberhawks, 1675-UPS, and 2062-CORE. They all had really solid robots, carried a lot of alliances, and are great teams to work with. I hope to see them at some local off-season tournaments and demos like the Rock-River Off-Season Competition, RoboFest, and Summerfest. Also, hopefully, IRI.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

I'd add 2512 to the list-- they had a pretty solid robot and they're a great team. It's a shame they won't be at champs for the first time in three (if I remember correctly) years.

3130 also had a great robot this year-- they've been improving a ton over the last couple years, and o wouldn't be surprised to see them become regular visitors to champs within a couple years.

I'll also say that it's a crime 967 and 2826 didn't qualify. 967 was an incredible robot this year-- undefeated at North Star. Wave might have been battling problems with their bot, but I was stunned they didn't pick up a RCA or EI at one of their events, considering how strong their program is.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

Team 192 GRT and Team 599 Robodox both had great machines this year, and will not be at Championships. Also, both of these teams are a class act, great people to be around!

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

1772 and 1024 were both really good teams that should've moved on. Hopefully they come back next year and can punch their tickets early.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

Not quite the same as the other mentions, but if 4988 had made it out of MSC (they were only like 7 points shy), then all 4 UP teams at MSC would have qualified for CMP. As it is, 3/4 are making it.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

Team 2791 deserves a mention here. While they weren't much at Tech Valley due to various claw malfunctions and single joint arm gearbox problems, they were a monstrous trusser at Tech Valley- being 341's first pick and went out in the semifinals against the eventual champions.

1619 Up A Creek Robotics competed at Utah and Colorado with great showings at both regionals without a ticket punched.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

The first ever PNW District Season certainly seems to have done a great job of recognizing teams this year. That being said, the level of play was extremely competitive both on and off the field. In fact the minimum point cutoff for World Champs was 164.

Although I think the system accurately rewarded teams as a whole, I think there is a single team in my mind that unfortunately won't be moving on:

Bear Metal, 2046 had 151 points by the end of District Champs. Just getting into eliminations or winning an award would have been enough for them to qualify. A team who came out of the gates week 1, not only winning the event, but Chairman's too, didn't make the cut.

I thought they might be 1 of 3 DCA winners. So I was even more surprised when they didn't win a single award. The robot itself, even when it saw issues was definitely at the least third alliance partner material.

It's a shame their season is done, but I know they'll be back at the top again next year!

Can certainly speak for the Circuit Breakers (696). They build some killer machines (3-ball-autonomous-anyone?) but don't seem to get lucky in the elims. Some of the most dedicated students and mentors that 3476 has had the pleasure to work with, with an outstanding program.

Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

I agree 1619 had two really great showings and definitely had a top notch robot. Its a shame that they didn't make. Good luck next year.

From the PNW, two teams that had done exceptionally well in previous events did not end up qualifying for world champs. I would just like to recognize these two teams, 1425 Error Code Xero and 2046 Bear Metal. Both robots were really well constructed and were just unlucky at the district champs.
Great season to both of you!

Gah. The team list is down for CMP. Does anyone know what the status on NE teams accepting/declining is?
