So its not really a "top 40" is it? When it seems required to "do well consistently" which has nothing to do with this year..so it is a popularity team #'s you remember list that no one can realistically fill out accurately for the current year.

Not 5817's fault no one really knows about them yet nationwide for a poll

Should be "Top 40 historic teams you remember from previous years doing OK this year list"

Yes previous wins deems success but discounts newer rookie teams doing well in current year so take any top 40 with a grain of salt.

BTW congrats 2485 love your designs every season your team received a well deserved engineering award this season, enjoy the worlds.

Boltman, I have played with your team since your inception. And although your kids are very excited about FIRST and without a doubt build good machines. The consistency is not near what those of 254,1114, and more.
Your claim no one knows and you're one of the best teams is insane.
In our 3rd year Code Orange won a division and got on Top 25 and got posted all over Chief. You work hard, you get results.
I'd suggest you sit with your kids, get them to have the best robot in the world and you'll be talked about.
