The Best Team(s) to Never Win an Official Event

[SharonO]

From Kansas City, I believe 1939- The Kuhnigits have never won a regional. They were Regional Finalists in 2010, 2011 & 2013, won multiple Chairman's and Engineering Inspiration awards, and always build asthetically pleasing robots as evidenced by their many, many Imagery Awards.

It is always a pleasure to be on an alliance with 1939.

Many thanks! I think our team is in what I would describe as the robot version of the "friend zone." We aren't quite good enough to be a number one or two seed or the first pick of the one or two seed, but we are generally a little too good to be around for the second pick of one of the top alliances, so we usually end up in a five to seventh seeded alliance.

Our best shot was 2013 in GKC as the 2nd seed captain with 3928 and 1987 but alas, the Kraken (1986) and SWAT (1806) were too much for us to handle. Here's hoping our luck changes this year!

I totally second that about 2013 (although I guess I am a bit biased). And you guys should definitely win the best team mascot award. I can't get enough of your mascot/team bunny brand So freaking adorable/scary.
