teams to look for this year

[techtiger1]

Wow! Were to begin. Lots of good robotics coming to my regionals in Fl and Sc and Nat's all the teams are really good. You have to look at the teams like 469,494,111,45,47,67,71those guys are all very good veterans. But there are a few really rising stars if u will that are 2nd and third years teams.1241,1345,945 I can go on and on competition is what makes FIRST great. Thanks everyone for doing your best and challenge yourselves as well as the other teams. Oby the way if anyone whats too look into team 1251. Were kinda in uncharted waters for just a second year team. We have helped veteran teams and rookies teams get started and sustain there programs already. We also did fairly well last year for rookies.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

DREW 1251

I'm looking out for:

22 and 254.

1114 and 1503 and 1680.

All for a good reason - in fact all for the same reason.

It is really hard to pick any individual teams yet.

But I believe that the teams with the highest reliability and have experience in drive trains, and arms will be the top contenders.

Teams with good autonomous modes will also fair better than others.

Here is my list that I believe that will do well this year. This is in no particular order.

69, 71, 60&254, 469, 494, 173, 177, 175, 229, 236, 237, 716, 571, 47,45,980,1350 & others

I only glanced through all the responses but I'm surprised I didn't see more posts on 222. They came reaaaallll close to beating us in chesapeake and the only reason they didn't win at another regional was another narrow loss. We ended up letting them down at the championship but they never once blamed us.Another team to watch out for is whoever beat 222 and 1405 and the other team in the aliance at the 'ship in Galileo. And here we thought we'd be invincible.

I'm looking out for team 330.

seriously, these kinds of threads are the kinds I don't belive belong on CD. All that goes on is either:

1. tooting your own horn
2. tooting a friends' horn
3. tooting a dynasty's horn.


all of us are on a level standing ground once Dean and Woody announce the game- yes, there are some teams that stand out every year, and thats exactly why i dislike these here threads- those team numbers are hyped and overhyped. Once everyone reveals a teaser, then sure, post away- but until then ithere's really no point in guessing which teams are gonna hit it big this year.

whats really sad is the same threads arise every year. It's a lot like "high school" really- popularity.






and sorry if i offended anyone, I'm just letting out some observations I've had for a while.

I think the purpose of this thread really is to notice which teams did well last year and the years before that, and also teams that seem to be coming along really well. Not gonna point out the negative, just gonna deal with it.

I dare any of you to go for a team who has little experience but has more thoughts and thinking "out side of the box" then the older teams and can see a different way and have a different edge on the FIRST robotics world. In that i see a winning team will consist of a "Cold As Ice" drive team which contains an excellent coach who will tell (but drivers don't always listen too) the drivers what plays to go through with.


sorry about that but i just had to say it

I agree with pit because most rookie teams are over looked. for example at the buckeye regional most rookie teams were overlooked but with the help of team 541 over 11 teams had bases that did not break down and would last forever. but one rookie team amaized me team 1278 north royalton high school. the placed 4th and helped team 541 as team 541 help them. so guys if your are reading this i hope that ERIS live long and keep your motto "sleep is for the week" and we look forward to many sleepless nights.

so this in my book is a rookie team to look out for along with 1270.
the new team captain Darvell.
p.s the pojak drive is better than ever
this year it is war just kidding

I agree with your opinion and apologize for our former members comments. This is not the general opinion of Team 341.

Threads like this can be a very positive tool towards improving your team, if you stop to think about what qualities make a particular team excellent or even just noticable.

Good luck to everyone in finishing your Bots this week!!!

EricH wait a sec..... WHAT ABOUT US ..... TEAM 1259..... our rookie year last year we went down to MIDWEST REGIONALS and got 4th in qualifying .... and hearing that Midwest is the hardest one you can go to i say thats quite an achivement. so i think along with all those that he listed we shold be clostley rated behind..
