FIRST is as much a political process as it is a robotics competition.
Remember: In FIRST you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you and your associates in the court of public opinion.

Sorry about that, I don't mean to stir anything up and I see where you are coming from. Thanks I have edited this to most underrated only.

You corrected your mistake and that says alot. Thank you.
I know you are just trying to create a valid discussion but it's not quite that same as if you have a football or basketball team. If you make bullitin board material then you have to back it up on the field where as in FIRST the consequences can be very very severe so you have to be very careful what you say and how you say things to other teams in FIRST because of the alliance system they use.

Not to mention the HUGE amount of work everyone puts into these machines. No one wants to come on a public forum, and see themselves being badmouthed.

I agree, your editting showed a lot of maturity.

Underrated:
126, 571, 173, 177 (and others I'm no doubt forgetting) - No one is really talking about these incredible offensive machines from New England, but you probably should be.

No one is talking about Rage? What's up with that?

i liked rage this year. They werent doing too hot at NJ, but when they got their hanging bugs out for UTC, they rocked. Also, they were one of the few teams whose auto mode consistently got the 10 pt ball.

Some of the underrated teams from VCU and chesepeake:
VCU:
388, 116(well we were), 122, 53
Chesepeake:
165, 836, 1391

177- can we just say WOW after they took off that really heavy arm they rocked at philly goood...no great ball bot and they deliver them really well.

126- What dont they do? they hurd well control a 2x with out ne troble and to top all this off they hang really quick and effectivly.

173- ond of the few autonomous programs to work all NJ and all UTC every time i belive they also collect small balls with a familiar looking basket design and you have to love there hanging arm which also is a goal grabber.
