That being said, I'm not sure if 2753 is the best rookie this year once you also consider 2826, 2970, and 2775. All four of those teams (as well as 2815, 2809, and others) will be in the mix for the Rookie All-star and unofficial "best rookie bot" honors.

I definitely agree that 2056 is one of the more elite teams in first. 6 consecutive regional wins says something, and I do find 2753's robot equal but possibly better than 2056's rookie bot. But I personally think that 2753 is my favorite rookie team this year, I'm not saying that all other rookies are bad, they all have pros to all of them.

Nice rendition of 45's design, should add a fair amount to your robot. Looks like 1771 and 1323 do know how to teach a few things as well...

Its sort of a rendition of 45's design but really only in the way it uses a single 2 blade wood prop, unlike 1771 that uses 2 smaller ones. I sort of took my own direction with the shroud idea even though I think 1771 shroud is better, we just don't have the room for it.

Pushing Truck Town, if you're in the same division. (Old-timers might get this one.)

Extra speed, acceleration, and push without contacting the floor via traction device are the reasons most teams have/add fans.

Thats what Truck Town will tell you (and they usually back it up too )

Very cool, best of luck, I hope to see you guys performing on Saturday in Atlanta when I can start watching matches.

I call shenanigans, anyone can push Truck... as long as they happen to WANT to go in that direction or aren't on...

I was there. Does that make me an old timer? That was an amazing robot.
