I completely agree with you on this one. Usually when these kind of thread pop up this early in the season, they tend to be based on popularity. They also end up consisting of people saying "I'm from team xxxx and my team is the best" or something close to that as we've already seen.

Even though those popular teams do tend to have some pretty good robots that does not guarantee that they will be good at the game at hand. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of "non-popular teams" ,for lack of a better term, do really well this year.

Ok ok, I am sure nuggetsyl didn't intend this thread to say that the "unpopular" teams aren't going to be successful in the competition. We all understand everyone is a winner just being in this program. So let's not focus in that arguement anymore.

How about a shift of tone? How about this question:

Which team(s) other than your own are you looking forward to seeing at competition this year?

111---manueverible drive system and ridiculous weight conservation for crazy arm designs
25---elaborate hanging arm from last year with more beef and importance this year i think
67---"hot" last year with a nice multi jointed arm
33--- where to go from a light 4 speed?

Oh no I made such a nice thread at it died now all faith is lost it was so good must find something else. cya

This year i just want everyone to do their best. Better then last year! BEST WISHES TO ALL!-Fancy

1369 has a little something....thats all i got to say...

[Mohsin]

(for the Cnanadian regionals)
Theory 6 has proved the point that you must NEVER underestimate the rookies. Watch out for them, their over all handling was very good last year.
but still i agree, wait a few weeks, and then judge, cant really know a team till it preforms out there eh!

[Yan Wang]

I look forwards to seeing 33, 1114, 48, and 188.

Though we aren't registered for Canada

[Collmandoman]

It was a pleasure working with minotaur last year in one of our qualifying matches~ hope you all do well again this year!

[Spikey]

I think its way to early to say, we haven't even seen final robots yet, we should not make judgments until we see some final robots.

Of course to do a little touting watch out for Team 293, we had our proto bot capping week 1, and we have a pretty nifty design for an arm.
Can't wait to see everyone at the New Jersey regional at Sovereign Bank Arena.

[The Lugerer]

i'm looking foward to some more friendly competition between us (Peachtree Ridge, #1261) and another school 5 mins away: Collins Hill (#1183). they had a short green robot last year that drove over the 13" balls and shot them out in front or behind the bot...very cool

charles: you guys are going down

[Rabbit222]

222 Baby!!!

[sanddrag]

I definitely look forward to seeing the robots from teams 188 and 980 at the LA regional.

I didn't really want to make this a "look for my team because we're the best" kind of post but I am serious in saying this: keep an eye out for the HexaMax R2 system from team 696 the Circuit Breakers. You will be impressed. providing everything goes as planned, of course

[AJL930]

of course our team 930. Look out for us at midwest and nationals, hopefully we can repeat as champions at midwest and get farther at nationals then we did last year. But other then 930, personally im looking forward to seeing what 111, 45, and 71 do this year.

[Max Lobovsky]

Comon guys, can we get at least one post where you don't mention your own team? We know everyone's robot is going to be really awesome, and will win at every competition it enters this year. We will just look at the number below your name to find out which awesome robot you are going to build.
