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.

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.........

Just remember, every team will have an off year. In 2006 team 67 had a defensive robot with little to no offense and was a third pick by they number one seed if I am correct at GLR. I don't think that even though they weren't picked for eliminations is a hindrance to a teams ability. They made it to Einstein out of the deepest division in Atlanta and were one of the top robots on Archimedes. 79, 179, and 1902 are very good teams, but 233 has by far the most awards, wins, and einstein appearances to give them the number 1 in Florida.

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.

I think that 3132 is the best team in our state, country and possible our hemisphere...

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.

I don't see what difference it makes that they don't perform as well at UCF as they do elsewhere. The sign of a good team is continuous improvement, and 233 has that down pat. How many other Florida teams have been on Einstein 4 times?

Re: Best Team by State

I'd nominate 360 for Washington State, based on student involvement and dedication. I don't know the intimate details of 488 or 1983, two other bots mentioned for Washington State, but I feel like 360 churns out some of the best team working, volunteering, engineers in Washington.

Also their robots are usually good too.

Based on your logic, 753, who has won the regional 3 times should also be up there. I'd argue though that if you went by regional win logic you would probably have to nominate 753's drive train since that is really what helped them and later 997 once they got their hands on the designs of the drive train, to win.

Re: Best Team by State

I'd look at what the team has done in their history, and their continued excellence.
753 hasn't won any award, save for the regional finalist in Utah this year, since 2006. That's an entire generation of students through the program. If it were the drivetrain that were sustaining them, then they should see sustained success.
1540 is now in it's 6 year of competition, and has qualified for the Championship for the last 4 years in a row. Additionally, we're the only team from Oregon to win an award on the international scene (Website our rookie year).
