Re: Best Team by State

For Virginia, I'd have to give it to either 1086 or 1522, probably with 1086 edging out 1522 by stint of being a bit more consistent. I think their both great teams, but they may have to start worrying about 3136 in the next year or two, if we can keep competing as well as we did this year.

I think they often get overlooked because they haven't had anything as *glorious* as an Einstein appearance since their three-peat in 03, 04, and 05. However, they are definitely one of the top CT teams not only for their robots, but for their commitment to inspiring others.

Ethan was indeed a fantastic driver, but the robot he was working with, the strategy behind what he did with the robot, etc. were all based off of the hard work of all of the students on the team over the course of many months, and they all deserve credit.
Of course, but that would have made my post very long.

The reason I say the wins were attributed more to the driving than otherwise was because the robot was not used as originally intended (after WPI), when kicking was abandoned in favor of a jam-em-in-the-goals striker role, and at Beantown with a new driver the robot did not perform at the high level it did in CT and Archimedes.

I know more about 93 seeing i am an alumni but 269 always found themselves at the right place every year i was in high school.

as for what Chris said i believe that 1732 is from Illinois not Wisconsin
I agree that 93 should be in the consideration for best robots. It is easy to forget about them after two down years, but they won Minnesota in 2008, finalist in Wisconsin in '08, first pick in Wisconsin in 2007 and have another regional win, regional finalist and Einstien finalist.

269 has 3 regional wins but the last one came back in 2005. They do have a regional chairman's since then, but I'm not sure I would consider them dominate in any year since 2006 (when I joined FIRST).

I also think 537 should be in the conversation for Wisconsin. 537 has won regionals in 07, 06, 05, 04. They also have a divisional finalist (05) and a regional chairmans ('10).

Like I said before, Wisconsin is wide open.

Also, 1732 is from Wisconsin.

Re: Best Team by State

For MA at least, I agree that it's probably 88. But teams such as 126, 155, and 69 all have done fairly well.

88 - They just seem to always build a great bot and be able to maneuver it effectively
126 - They're always a powerhouse and make a strong showing
155 - They've won the RCA a few times and always do well in competition
69 - We've built some pretty innovative robots, and it's true we don't go to the championships as much. Hopefully we can change that a bit

Re: Best Team by State

I want to nominate 1983 for Washington. Statistically, they've gotten a blue banner every year, including their rookie year, and are just as competitive as 488. I haven't interacted with Xbot much, but I know that 1983 has extremely helpful team members and mentors (and not just at the competition; year-round!)

I'm glad to hear they're still alive and well.
They had a rough year. They had a good bot(didn't get to see it in action, but it was well designed, so it might of been a great bot and not only good) but tough luck, the didn't play a single game due to communication problems.
I can assure you they haven't disappeared, and I hope they come back next year with yet another awesome robot.

Re: Best Team by State

Ohio should be 1038, especially if you include their kinda sorta former number 144.... Even without it, they'd stand alone as an awesome team and program.

Re: Best Team by State

It's funny how there's no debate that 25 is the best of NJ. We have one of the largest pools of excellent veteran teams (not as large as Michigan, but you get the picture). Many of the other states are debatable but nobody has questioned 25's dominance of NJ. They're just very very good.

I think 25 is the choice as of right now, but considering the way 1676 played this year, and the way 2753 has played since it's inception, we may have a few more apparent contenders very soon, if they can keep it up.

For many years 25 was the biggest contender against 56. Its debateable, but I still think that both teams' history earns them a title as the top of the NJ food chain.

Thanks for the wonderful endorsements guys but there are a lot of great teams in NJ and every one has their time. We had a good year this year as did 1676. 2753 and 1923 blew us all away last year. 56 is always a beast. I think the competition between good teams is what drives us all to work harder and go further. That's why my team tries to travel to new regions and play different competitors each season. And having lots of local off season events to train at isn't bad either.

Just imagine what we could accomplish if all these great teams got together to work on a common cause. Hmmm- now there's an idea.........
