The Best Team(s) in need of an event win/

[Billfred]

Can I say "most of South Carolina" here?

281: Four regional wins, but the last was Palmetto 2012 (which ended with them needing to call in a backup).
342: Indiana people would call them the 461 of the South. Four silvers, one win (Palmetto 2007), masked by four RCA wins, a WFFA, and a Dean's List Finalist. Their last medal of any sort was Palmetto EI in 2012.
2815: Yes, they were my team. Yes, their three regional wins were all as the last pick of the draft or as the backup team to 281. But the banner's just as blue, and right up until they ran into the 118/16/3490 buzzsaw at Rocket City this year, it looked like they had the beginnings of a return to form.

Honorable mentions:

343: Before they won the final Peachtree Regional in 2015, they spent a long time lost in the desert. Since their last win at Palmetto 2010--two cities ago--they went on an absolutely ridiculous silver streak. Newton 2012. North Carolina 2011. Palmetto 2011. Peachtree 2012. Palmetto 2012. They then went home completely empty-handed in 2013 and 2014 before returning to the performance level you would expect from Metal In Motion.
1293: Also part of my history, and ineligible for this list because they've never won a regional. Matter of fact, they have somehow eluded any official FIRST hardware since their 2004 inception. Should've had at least a silver at Palmetto 2011, but a bad snap decision from a partner flipped a done-deal semifinal match into a red card.
