Re: teams to look for this year

I am a bit surprised that 469 has only been mentioned once so far. With being a championship winner for stack attack, and then a Championship Finalist last year, it seems that they will once again have an incredible way of playing the game, even if all they have is the KitBot frame and the camera, they have some impressive strategies as far as I have seen.

I also think that 292 will have a really nice robot this year. If they follow the tradition that i've seen, They will still have that solid frame, not get pushed around, and just handle those tetras as if they were toothpicks (weightwise). They have also been a strong team both of my years invloved with FIRST.

I also think that every rookie team, and the teams who aren't afraid to play outside the box (while not breaking the rules) will have excellent success at the competitions.

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

GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS!
Geez, I hope we can deliver. I don't like to disappoint...

I think the teams that will do the best are the teams that "think outside the box" (I hate that phrase, but I can't think of anything else right now). As it seems, all the teams are going to be doing essentially the same thing this year. Capping goals and playing defense. Those teams that can think of another way to win, or another little touch that nobody else does, have a great chance of winning.

I, personally, am not expecting a certain team to win. Sure, you can expect more from veteran teams, but you don't know what to expect from rookie teams. I like to get ideas from new members as their thoughts are not limited because they haven't seen what works and doesn't work. They come up with ideas that veterans may have never thought of because they didn't think it was possible. The only problem is, they're usually too afraid to talk

I'll make my prediction in the second match of the Finals in Einstein.

couple more i just cant think of.
I hate to say it, but there isn't a 258 this upcoming season. I might resurrect the team number at a different school sometime in the future, but it's very likely 258 won't be in existence for the next 2-3 years.

Re: teams to look for this year

I have a feeling teams from the Pacific Northwest will make quite a show this year. I am looking forward to seeing 753, 254 and 1359.

You know 254 is from California, right?

That doesn't mean I don't want to see their new bot.

Re: teams to look for this year

Hey we got mentioned! And here I was thinking, nobody cared for us. Thanks, and I assure you that we are working hard to put on that good show.

I myself believe that 111 will do well this year. It seems to be THE year for crab drive, as being able to drive around quickly will be incredibly important.

I am looking most forward to seeing 188 and 254 in competition, because they both have incredible robots, and for team relation reasons

Re: teams to look for this year

I expect great things from 1243. They beat 494 and 67 at West Michigan last year and were awesome partners at 2 off season events. If they can do that as a rookie...

I would add team 343 Metal in Motion to the list of teams to watch. Always a strong showing with a quality machine!
