Both me and our other mentor were, at one point in time, mentors for team 1671 for several years. But since then we have left to help start up this rookie team in Sanger, CA.

That being said, 5817 is not an offshoot of 1671.

Although we are around 30 minutes from 1671's shop. 5817 has received no help from 1671 this season. We wanted to be sure that we stayed independent of all veteran teams nearby. We have some great teams in our area as well (1671, 1323, 3970). As mentors we wanted the students to work and have their success be truly "their" success. We did not want to go to an event and have people say "that rookie team is good because of this team".

1671 is definitely a great team, and having a world champion in our area is great for the central valley of California. We are looking forward to the honor of competing with several world champs at the central valley regional. And earning our spot in our local community.

While they did pair up with another (very) strong team, that shouldn't take away from 2056's accomplishments. They were Rank 5 at their first event ever, and Rank 1 at their second and Rank 15 in their division*. A rookie team was in a position to pick 1114, that's an accomplishment. We would consider them stupid or egotistical for not picking them.

What if 5817 goes to CVR and gets picked 1st overall by 254? Are we going to take away 5817's accomplishments of being 1st overall pick at a very strong event because 254 picked them? I hope not. 2056 set a standard for what rookies can accomplish. 5817 could very well do the same, but we can't evaluate their rookie season just on the basis of their reveal.

It is, however, a HUGE accomplishment to complete that quality of a robot in a rookie season, no matter how experienced the mentors are. Color me impressed. From one rookie to another, I hope we see you at Championships, you clearly deserve to be there :-)

*Yes, I do know that 2007 had the weird match paring algorithm that could help strong young teams. It's still an incredible accomplishment.

Yes, clearly 2056's record since that year confirms that they aren't that good

Look at how many rookie teams have been amazing after the first year or two. What I was saying was they had the ability to work with 1114 their rookie year which probably helped them.

You never know how a rookie team is going to do, my bases was off the fact that 2056 had experience the first year not many teams have that. This is by far my favorite rookie team so far.

Actually, we plan to use the bot in the offseason as our new FRC legal bench grinder.

Thank you, that means a lot.

But I agree, rookie teams who have the opportunity to observe and work with high-calibre teams definitely have an advantage going into their second season.* Even just making it to champs can be an eye-opening experience for a lot of teams.

* I'm not saying that is the sole reason 2056, did well, but it definitely helped.

Oh I mistook you all for 1671 earlier. I had no clue this was a rookie team. I am very impressed that you are all able to build such a well functioning robot despite having no prior frc experience. My team is going to be a rookie next year and we hope to be as good as you are.
