Re: teams to look for this year

I think that the teams that you have to watch out for are not the ones mentioned here. I think that it will be the ones that are usually in the middle of the pack. The game this year will not be dominated by one team but 3 teams working together. The teams with the best teamwork are the ones that we will need to watch out for.

173 - Have had good robots for years

Smile Re: teams to look for this year

It seems to this rookie team adviser that strategy and operator skill is going to be almost more important than device sophistication. Having a solid control program and a simple but effective design, along with the ability to quickly coordinate with your alliance, should prove to be key.

Team 1676 wishes good luck to all at the New Jersey Regional. We just hope to make a good showing.

Re: teams to look for this year

I Can't believe no one has said this already, but if team 435 (Robo Dogs) has as good a design as they did last year, they will be one to look out for.

I'm going to have to second that. In the past two years (since I started in FIRST), 980 has come up with some killer designs (almost literally to one hapless announcer at the Chatsworth Scrimmage in 2003). I was especially impressed with their hanging device and programming last year, and I have no doubt that this year can be a repeat performance.

Oh and I'm looking forward to seeing 696's drive train as well (hopefully for our sakes not as good as Heather's )

Talking Re: teams to look for this year

But of course, we will get pretty far. On the last year's competition, we got to the quarter finals in the Arizona regionals and that was our first year mind you.

I'm watching for Team 175 Buzz. They have great designs for each game. I can't wait to see what they do this year. Oh yeah and you have to look out for Team 176 Aces High! Last year was a Mayday, but this year will be different!

Re: teams to look for this year

I would say look for a team that has been around for 3-4 years and hasn't done much in the way of winning. An unexpected team, there are several good teams out there that just might have a chance this year. And don't forget about the rookie teams as mentioned before.

Re: teams to look for this year

Here are my pick for the '05 most awesomely great robot....111 and 469. I think both of those teams have some idea that will just dominate the game. Some of my honorable mentions are....71, 494, 234, 33, 47, 48, 219, and 108.

I would also like to reiterate what Cory said earlier in this thread
