Philly top 5

[The Lucas]

I cant pick just 5 and here is why......
My current tally for Regional Champs and Finalists at Philly:
3 Regional Champs
5 Regional Finalists
.....among only 46 Teams

Regional Champs:
103 - 1st overall pick at NJ, great long range shooter
272 - #4 Alliance Capt at Buckeye, can't wait to see them
177 - #5 Alliance Capt at UTC (I dont have to tell you, Pete)

Regional Finalists:
486 - 2nd overall pick at NJ, shares the highest score of year with 137
250 - 2nd overall pick at FLR
357 - #5 Alliance Capt at Florida, gotta love the wheels
1370 - best defensive bot at Pitt IMHO, high shooter too
1218 - nice turret high shooter at Chesapeake (you probably remember their 2004 Champ Finalist bot)

Others to watch for:
56 - do-it-all bot with good showing at both NJ and Chesapeake
84 - haven't seen the bot but I have heard from FLR that it is a great design
157 - impressive on Boston Webcast, currently ranked #2
173 - It's Rage, nough said
341 - great shooter according to Buzz scouting reports

Sorry if I missed any Champs or Finalists out there.

Bad year? Every year is a good year in FIRST. It's building robots for fun and going to comps with other FIRST people; robot performance is just a bonus. Of course, Bobcats (177) made 2004 a better year by inviting us into their Galileo Finalist alliance.
