Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
I remember 1731 at Buckeye.
Very impressive shooter. It's a shame they won't get to show off their skills at Atlanta. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
Thanks Martijn. We were definitely super bummed that we didn't get a chance to win Peachtree Regional. In some amazing feat of luck however we are actually going to be attending the championship to show of our machine. We also have a much improved method of removing the trackball from the rack.

1731 FTW!
Dont know why they didn't sign up for Atlanta, but should be there. Two tough luck losses in finals due to penalties also as mentioned before. I witnessed one of them. They literally carried their alliance in elim. matches. Had they gone to atlanta, they would have been a serious top 10 team overall. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
From the robots I've seen, 272 is a great bot. Like The Lucas said, they were the first pick (behind MOE which I've seen get two balls and three lines in hybrid then I've counted 6 balls in Autonomous), and then ahead of MOE in Philly. Watch video of it on MOE's website, http://www.fsrobotics.org/moe365//co...atchvideos.php.
Also, from the offensive power rankings, 1731 is the best bot not to be included in nationals. |

I got to say I'm sorry not to see #342 The Burning Magnetos (cool name) from North Charleston,SC going down to the fun at Big A... they got a really solid robot and a good crew.
#1731 is another team I would have enjoyed watching, the put forth a great effort at Buckeye and have a really good shooter. Better luck next year guys! As good as your bots and teams are... I'm sure you'll be making it there for sure. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
The best robot that I have seen in person that isn't going is 1718. These guys are amazing, they have been in the top 4 in each of their last 4 events and have not gone to championship either last year or this year. They are good people and I am sure next year they will get over the hump.
In terms of robots I have watched online 272 looks to be the most impressive robot not going. I haven't seen much of 1731, so I can't get a fair estimate of their abilities. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
I think from a Canadian point of view, and only judging by the two events I went to, I'm going to give this to 188, unforntaly they had some break downs every now and then, but for how simple there machine was for ball pickup, it worked really well!

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
My two are:
910: great robot this year and made it to finals last year, wanted to see them try it again. 342: They were great partners in Florida and it would have been cool to pair up with them again in Atlanta. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
1501, they built one of my favorite robots this year (and last year, and the year before, and the year before). It's a big bummer that they only got to attend one regional...

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
I'm going to chime in and agree with the 1731 crowd. Fresta Valley is an amazing team with an amazing robot. By far the best team to build their robot in a barn. The past three year's they've been on the #1 alliance at VCU (as the #1 seed their rookie year in 2006), but they haven't been able to win it yet. This year they also were on the #1 alliance at Buckeye, but met the brick wall of 1024 and 1126 in the finals there. At both events their captains were hurdlers, and (no offense to their partners) at both events they carried their alliances into the finals. They had a unique and effective robo-coach system (using the CMU cam and colored flashlights), effective hybrid (3 lines, 1-2 balls), solid pick-up, and great hurdling. They'll be a contender for years to come.
I saw 272 and 381 in person, and both of them were also outstanding. 272 was a great shooter and 381 is the best lap-bot I have seen, which is an accomplishment as I attended four regionals (NJ, VCU, Philly, NYC). 1655 and 405 were also outstanding lap-bots at VCU who are not going to Championship. |

Re: Who's the best team not in Atlanta in 2008?
Wow!
Thanks guys. It gives the warm fuzzies to be mentioned here - especially by teams like you guys Martians and Red Tails. Someday we'll get there. We tend to be pretty short on funding, so we can't schedule the championships in advance. We just cross our fingers for a regional win, and then hope we can get more money out of Sponsers .We'll get there eventually! Last edited by Tom Line : 14-04-2008 at 08:27. |
