Re: Successful teams in FRC history

Spending more time developing a winning strategy. You can have a robot that looks awesome, but if it doesn't play a winning strategy, then it won't win.

Re: Successful teams in FRC history

It takes hours of work and dedication to go far in a season, and years of experience helps too. Remember, winning is not everything.

Re: Successful teams in FRC history

You need to design a robot that can play and win at the CHP level.

There are robots that can win a District / Regional, and there are robots that can win a Division / CHP. They are not necessarily the same robots.

This is very true. Some teams have the muscle and the might (resources and talent) to build the perfect robot to play the game. Some teams don't have that kind of robot capital and have to choose. One thing that I hope will change with a possibly expanding CMP is the addition of robots that can't win at the regional level but know exactly how to plug themselves into an Einstein alliance.

Re: Successful teams in FRC history

The title seems to be misleading, please don't get me wrong. A more appropriate would have been something like "Championship winning teams strategy?" or something like like that. Some of the teams that I know measure success by number of students that are inspired into STEM education.

But, the initial post sets the tone. It states things like blue banners, divisional wins, etc. I see what you mean, but if you read the first post in the thread I think it speaks for itself.

Re: Successful teams in FRC history

I would also say getting your team out there and getting the other teams to recognize you. becoming friends with other teams is a key part to sucess.
