Re: What does it take to be considered and elite team?

With FIRST there are several ways to be considered elite. Well maybe not elite, but at least an exceptionally good team.

One of the first, and most difficult, ways is to win the national chairmans award and be in the hall of fame. Those teams are well known in FIRST, have good teams, and usually a decent robot.

Other than that, it would be based on name recognition because of multiple, sometimes continous, successes. It's easier to achieve an elite status if your successes are unique or stands out (either through magnitude or way it was achieved). Winning or designing unique parts and solutions consistently will achieve elite status than consistency being in the finals with a mundane design.

I like to compare it to being an elite business. For an example lets take a look at Google. So to become elite you should 1. Innovate, 2.Be User Friendly, 3. Make Yourself Marketable, and, of course, 4. Don't be Evil.

Seems simple, doesn't it?
