2. 230, the Gaelhawks continue to bring impressive machines to the competition year after year. Had fun winning Hartford with them last year.

3. 177, unfortunately the Bobcats had a bit of a rough 2015 season, but from what I've seen of their bot this year so far, I'm expecting a mighty comeback from the two-time world champs.

4. 175, Buzz were district finalists last year, killed it in 2014, and had a good 2013 season as well. Happy a team like them hails from CT.

5. Hard to pick just one more for this list so I'll just include 4055, 228, 2168, 2170, and 2836 to wrap it up. I'm probably missing too many others, but that's what I've got for now.

No need to leave out your own team. 195 deserves to be on top of any Connecticut list.

Agreed. With robots like theirs, it'd be hard to push them out of the top five.

I wouldn't say that it's easier, considering that upstate teams rarely interact with Hudson Valley and NYC teams, but it's certainly a different playing field. Remember, TVR is usually just over HALF the size of NYC or SBPLI, making the technical chances much greater.
