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
Is 22 and 254 collaborating? perhaps 188 too.
Which is why i was curious too why team 188 is going all the way to LA from Canada.

whats cookin

Re: teams to look for this year

Well, I don't want to brag about our team, but I would like to say that comared to the past, I feel that we're going to be much for sucessful this year. Perhaps it's the fact that the KISS element played a big role in our strategy and design this year. It might also be the fact that we're building our bot off of under $1000 in spare parts.

What kind of thread of this?

No matter, fervent team nationalism gives me the obvious answer for this thread. 639 baby.

Re: teams to look for this year

Every year is different. It depends on what kind of ideas or capabilities the team has in order to win. I think this year will be fun, just like how it is every year! I just wanted to say good luck to everyone and have fun building your robot! or robot(S).. hehe

Last year, it was 60 and 254. Other teams used their drive train. Who knows what teams will collaborate with them this year?

this year allows a lot for creativity.. dont underestimate the underdogs.. or potential alliance members.
After seeing your bot last year , we were guessing that there would be plenty of similar designs based on it...

I think everyone is quietly confident, as they are all trying to get the little edge over their opponants... and it will be interesting if we have several bots exactly the same lol.... shame we wont see you this year... i think beefy will be upset...

Re: teams to look for this year

FIRST is unpredictable...and it's not like there are teams you shouldn't be looking for, because every single one has something that makes them stand out, whether it be in robot design, team spirit, sportsmanship, etc...I don't think we should only be pointing at those with exceptional bots, but those that we consider a role model team in all aspects, not just in technical design...and like I said before, there's not just one or two teams we should focus our attention on; instead, let's look towards ALL teams, because there's always something you can learn from each and every one of them...
because although the competition is important, FIRST isn't all about elitism...

yeah; i'll be curious to see if any other teams decide to use a telescoping arm this year... you never know, it may work.

aww yeah i'll miss you guys; the NYC regional last year was so much fun.. i did ask my coach if we could go back this year but she refused... i think our team members had a little too much fun...

anyways, i'm sure there will be a lot of robots with similar concepts, yet i have this haunting feeling in the back of my head that just seems to be saying, What if this year we've got it all wrong?? Almost as if all of this hard work and dedication just seems to go down the drain when it is realized that your robot is actually completely useless, except to be a mosquito for the opposing alliance. i hope that doesnt happen to any team. what could be more disheartening than that?

Re: teams to look for this year

My moneys on Team 48 Delphi Elite. With this years game favoring defense so heavily, Elite will be a force to be reckoned with. Not only do they always have a solid robot, but also a solid drive team, and one of the best field coaches I've ever known. And with 3 teams on the field at once, the coaches will be critical.

Trust me with I say they know how to play the game tough.

Re: teams to look for this year

some of the consistently good bots in the New England area are 237, 175, 173 and 716. There are many others but these are usually big contenders at the UTC regional.

I think that team 1405 (Chesapeake Champs) is an awesome team and I can't wait to see what they have come up with this year! I also can't wait to see teams 75, 11, 56, 67, and 48.



GO 1403!!!
