Re: Top 5 new members to FIRST's Top Tier in your state/region
A few teams entering the GA top tier, not ranked, just listed:
1. 4468 - Their record speaks for themselves. With 3 Dean's List Finalists in 4 years, an EI and Finalist at Peachtree in 2015, and an event winner, DCMP EI, and two #1 seeds, this team has not only broken into the top tier, they've taken it by storm.
2. 1648 - Success is starting to come on the field, after a long time. After winning RAS in 2005 and making quarterfinals in Galileo that year, this team returned to CMP last year for only the second time in team history by winning the only Georgia Southern Classic Regional. This year, they've been the #1 pick in both their district events, won a DCA at Columbus, and were finalists at Albany. If they can match or even improve on their DCMP quarterfinals performance, they could be a significant player on the world level.
3. 4188 - They've followed up their first regional victory (2015 Peachtree) with a complete performance at every event they've attended this year. Winner at Columbus. Finalist, #1 seed, and EI at Albany. Finalist at Rocket City. Woodie Flowers Award and Semi-finalist at DCMP. This team has exploded onto the scene this year, but the signs have been there for a few years.
4. 1746 - After going to CMP for the first time since 2009 last year on an Engineering Inspiration Award, OTTO fielded one of the most beautiful and effective robots in GA this year, with a new sheet metal design. Hammering the low goal and adding a climber at DCMP, they have reached semi-finals at all their events, seeded second or better at all of them, and won the KSU district as alliance captains. This team could go the furthest of any GA team at Championship.
5. 4910 - East Cobb had a breakout year this year, dominating the Dalton event, winning an EI award and the event with 2974. They followed up that performance with an ID award at KSU, a DCMP EI, and a DCMP victory. They will be attending CMP for the first time in team history this year.
I would not be surprised if any of these teams continue their success at Championship, and into future years.
