"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PayneTrain again."

Loving the team tag Will! However after the performance I'm not sure it's valid.

4. 2642 - Another very versatile robot that can do all game tasks
5. 2655 - Very consistent low goaling

Many years ago, a very successful team coach, after watching us lose another close match, told me "You're almost there, one day it will just 'click' and you will start winning the close matches!" I confess, I questioned his sanity at that time!

From my point of view, the District model, due to the amount of matches we get to play, will give several teams that experience to also 'click' - 422 and 401 are ones I think are ready to make that leap - and had a couple of matches gone just slightly differently, you would have been hanging another blue banner on Saturday!

Arizona Teams:
842: Winner in Vegas and Finalist at AZ North. Their outer works shooting and cheescaked climber are very impressive.
4183: Strong and consistent high goal shooting at AZ North and West made them finalists at both events.
2486: This speedy robot won San Diego. While still refining a high goal shot, consistent breaching has will take them far.
1011: Winner of Colarado with a fast low goal cycle and breaching ability that could easily rack up valuable 4 rp matches.
498: Winner at AZ North and showed a huge advancement in quick breaching and shooting ability just a few weeks later at AZ West.

Florida:

1. 233, 2 regional wins, finalist at another. Super consistent low goal capabity, plus a scale (I think they added this after Orlando). Not to mention they built most of their robot the Thursday at Orlando .

2. 180, 2 regional wins. Kinda accurate high goal shooter. Awesome human player.

3. 179, 1 regional win, finalist and semi-finalist in two others. Great auto/vision tracking, awesome scaling mechanism. Reason it doesn't beat 180 or 233 is because of huge reliability problems.

4. 386, 2 time semi-finalist. This is a real standout year for Voltage. Super accurate high goal shooter, plus it teeters and totters all over the field.

5. You could probably wedge a lot of teams in here but I'm going to choose 79. 79 is a very accurate low goal robot with a cool scaling mechanism.

Honourable mentions go to: 86, 3556, 1251, and 744. (Maybe us? IDK.)

I think for upstate NY, you can't forget about 3044. You only saw them at TVR, but at FLR they were byfar the most consistent shooter at the event.

[Brian Maher]

Not considering 2791 (my own team), upstate New York:
1. 5254
2. 20
3. 3044
4. 1511
5. 639

How can we do just a top 5 in IN? I'll do a top 9 high goal shooters in IN
(sorry low goal teams... It's hard to rank high and low goal teams together)

High Goal Shooting Capabilities (Intake time, Shoot accuracy, and Auto)
1. 1024 (consistent catapult with lots of high shots each match)
2. 1501 (lots of high goals a match, climber worked well when it worked)
3. 1747 (proves they can win with lots of high goals each match)
4. 868 (great high goal shooting)
5. 234 (Fairly consistent goal auto. High goal shoots good. Inconsistent # of shots)
6. 4103 (good high goal. Climber works a high % of time)
7. 135 (good high goal shooting)
8. 4982 (good high goal shooter)
9. 1741 (probably underrated on this list. Great 2nd day high goal shooter at perry. Needs more time to lock in capabilities we've seen.)

Now before we get in arguments over this, making this top 9 list was painful... competition is so so close in IN, especially in the top 9 high goal shooter. I feel pretty confident on the top three but 4-9 is so so close.

I don't know why, but I'm a huge sucker for this sorta thing

WA (there were a lot of great teams this year - these lists are getting harder to make ):
1-1983: now that they've got that shooter working, they can do every part of the game well
2- 2046: despite losing a week of improvement time due to the theft of their robot, they still have one of the most accurate high goal shooters, and probably the most consistent high goal auto
3- 2471: I'm a sucker for a good tall robot
4- 4469: if you don't defend against this team, they will make every single high goal they shoot. and they're good at winning events
5- 5803: they might not deal with the high goal, but they have mastered every other aspect of the game

OR:
1-1425: excessively consistent
2-1540: probably their best robot. consistent high goal, good at crossing. what not to like?
3- 4488: they've struggled to be as good as they were in previous years. it's still a good robot, but their shooter accuracy leaves something to be desired
4- 2990: they climb, they traverse defenses, they low goal, they defend. solid robot
5- 955: I'm really hoping they can get their shooter more accurate - they could become quite a threat if they do

PNW:
1- 1983
2- 1425
3- 2046
4- 2471
5- 4469
