I'd like to add 3055 to teams in the MN area. They were a great pick once they fixed out the kinks in their belt-lift system, and really shined at North Star IMO.
(Thank you for the mention though, oh my gosh)

I'll also add 2472. By north star(from watching the archived elim videos) they had a good landfill bot.

They are on the wait list, and hopefully, hopefully, there are some declines and they make it to St. Louis because I can think of no more deserving robot out there than them.

They we're certainly a very good robot. However, it's hard to believe that they did 5 6's and didn't easily win a regional. Unless they just weren't capping them, which wouldn't be too strategically bright. No matter how far they went though, still a great robot.

I have to give a big shoutout to 865 and 4917 here in Ontario.

865 had an extremely impressive landfill robot. Easily had the potential to put up two 6 stacks capped. Expect big things from this team in years to come.

4917 really shinned at North Bay, consistently putting up two 5 stacks, and capping the 5 stacks with a tote and bin. They were really close to taking home a blue banner at the North Bay Regional. Unfortunately, even as captains of the second alliance, there were no wild cards available to them after the finals.

I love those guys. Not that this year calls for it but they drive defensive like nobody else. Very impressive team.

I think 868, the Techhounds, definetly were a deserving team. Fantastic landfill and feeder station robot, just faced some unfortunate circumstances that prevented them from moving on.

That was silly of me, of course they qualified.

Cool, I wasn't aware of this. They will do well at champs.

This. This right here is super disappointing. I was really hoping they'd get in off the wait list or something because I wanted to see this robot in person.

Best robot I witnessed that I don't think made it was....
Team 696 - Circuit Breakers

They had a killer 20 point auto that worked 90% of the time and were similar rest of game to both Warlords and Team Paradox in multiple stack abilities in fact better and more consistent.

That's not to say WarLords and Paradox should be there but best IMO was 696 overall both competitions we were in and most consistent.

Holy Cows was ultra impressive too best bot in San Diego. Not sure if they made it to worlds somehow.

Holy cows are Hall of Fame as of a couple of years ago, so they qualified.

Also, all of those teams were extremely impressive and it's sad not to see them at champs.

How do you get 40 points in auto?

1987 without a doubt is the best and coolest robot not going to champs.

4500's six stacker with a canburglar from Clayton high school had an amazing robot! They made it to eleminations but their alliance was simply not strong enough to move on
