Re: Best Team by State

For Florida I would have to say 1251, 233, or 1902, all for very different reasons.
233 is obviously the "Dominant" team from Florida on the national stage,

However 1251 has simply dominated Florida since 2007. Since then they have only lost the regional once (to a certain green team ).

1902 is the best overall team I would have to say, who else cheers in the pits?

from Hew Hampshire I would have to say 40

Mass 190(=p) or 126 probably

RI 78(121)

CT 177(pick the bobcats go to Einstein)

CA 971 or 254

IN 71(duh)

MI 67(again obvious)

WA probably 1983

I agree that while 233 often has one of the best bots in the nation they are rarely even close to that level of play at Florida. This year I don't even think they were selected for eliminations.

179 and 79 have for a while now been the 2 best teams in Florida in my opinion.

"Rarely even close" is an overstatement. This year was an anomaly, I think, and last year they had an off year. 2008 they won, 2007 they were certainly clearly very good, and I'd be willing to bet similar things about the previous years.

My knowledge on Pink doesn't extend very far into the past but I know that in 07 which was in my opinion their best robot they missed a couple of matches in Florida because they were still working on it but by nationals they had an absolute beast. Obviously this year they struggled in Florida and 09 was their fluke year.

I'm not saying that Pink isn't super awesome but they do have a tendency to build a lot of their bot in the pit at Florida and are not at the right level until after the event. And I think that though they are a huge part of the conversation for Florida, in my book their success outside of Florida doesn't count for much even though they have been on Einstein several times and have come so close to a national title.

Re: Best Team by State

There are teams in Brazil and Chile, so you'll have to ask them about best in the hemisphere; I'll give you state and country, though.

I'll nominate 383 for Brazil; long record and pretty good. Not sure how many teams are in Chile, so no nomination there.

Re: Best Team by State

1772 is an awesome team from Brazil. They were very tough competition at Palmetto this year!

It is humbling (and really cool) to have some many say that 343 is one of the best in SC. BUT based on other factors...

342 and 1398 are very strong Chairman's teams every year. I also have a feeling that 2815 may be jumping into that next year.

343 won our first little safety pin EVER this year at Florida (kind of pathetic)...1319 wins a Safety Award EVERY year and sometimes at multiple regionals.

As stated earlier 1102 does dominate SC with their FTC teams. They also showed this year that they can regroup and be successful after a bad showing. They went from Florida...where they had issues... and then to Palmetto and where they were Finalists!

Now with my completely prejudice opinion, of course I think 343 is the best, but I also just love 1398!! They work extremely hard and have always been successful...just not always with robots. But now thanks to 2815 their robots will probably become very competitive!

Re: Best Team by State

I find this thread extremely interesting. I started looking at the teams in MD and realized that there are 3 teams with 1 chairman's award and 1 regional win. All three teams also have an engineering inspiration award. There are also a lot of teams that perform superbly at competitions. i think that in maryland we will have to wait until next year to pick the best team!!!!

Re: Best Team by State

If I may be so humble...

1306 for WI (for this year at least, hardly overall)

We won the Regional Chairmans Award AND managed to make it to the quarterfinals (if you saw our robot, you would know that was somewhat of a feat, it's basically a moving box, no kicker, no lifting, no "dribblers")
We made quarterfinals at the Championship too, placing 5th in Curie, and somewhere around 18th in the whole championship.

Re: Best Team by State

I would have to say 67 for MI. We do most of our machining out at Milford Proving Grounds and occasionally run into them. They're always nice to talk with and offer assistance at every turn. Not to mention the 3 World Champiomships thing.

I'd say this year, (I am just as humble) 1714 or 1732 would have to count. EI + Regional Win and 2 SFs, or 2 Wins and QFs, with robots that have active manipulators.

If history repeats itself with regards to WI Chairman's winners, you're on the right track though, and will improve greatly once again.

Though I'm less familiar with MN teams than I am with teams from my own region, I'd like to second this. We worked with them in Atlanta in 2007, which brought them to my attention. I've been impressed with them ever since.
