Top 5 robots in each state

[Samps]

Definitely 955 should be in the top 5 in Oregon. Amazingly compact, well built, and a PNW district champs winner.

Interestingly, the only Southern California team that I would slot into this group is 330 as they made Einstein. 973 looked to be just below this group this year. This seemed to be a down year for Southern California, especially compared to the standout year they had in 2014.

3476 is another great Southern California bot that made Einstein. They could make 3 capped 6-stacks with noodles and another uncapped.

1717 and 973 were both comparatively pretty good from the landfill by champs. 973 also had fast can burglars on for champs.

TBA says these scrubs only managed 4 banners this year.

Joking aside I would agree with most of the rankings I have seen in here so far, recognize many many numbers from this year.

2481 - Roboteers - Tesla Quarter finalists (Ranked 1st)
1756 - Argos - Newton Finalists
4143 - MARS/WARS - Curie ranked 10th, but didn't play in playoffs ??? anyone know what happened? I can't find any information

Did I miss anyone?

They were selected for the 8th alliance, but they played their backup robot instead, as they needed another HP stacker for eliminations and they needed 1318's can grabbers.

Even better - they were actually semi-finalists!


My personal list for Indiana is:

1. 234 (IN state champions, 3 event wins all as 1st seed, 1 district CA)
2. 1024 (IN state champions, 2 event wins)
3. 135 (IN state CA, 1 event win)
4. 5188 (1 event finalist, IN state championship 3rd seed)
5. 1501 (1 event win, IN state championship finalist)

But it is really debatable, since there were so many strong teams come Indiana state championships! Other notable teams that I saw this year were 71, 1720, 1741, 5402, 1747, and I'm sure I'm missing a few more.

New York:
1) 5254- Finalist at both upstate NY events, and the only robot in New York capable of making 3 stacks of 6 in a match.

2) 340- Winner at Tech Valley and Finalist at Finger lakes, the robot consistently made stacks of 5 from the human player station and could cap them to boot. They also had some of the best can grabbers in the state, other than perhaps 329's.

3) 263- The Sachem Aftershock won South Florida, and then did well at both of their New York events making 2-2.5 stacks of 6 in a match

4) 1126- Arguably the best New York team to not make champs, 1126 didn't meet expectations at their first event, but came in strong at Finger Lakes, making 2-2.5 stacks in a match fairly consistently with their unique design.

5) 1511 or 3015-
1511 was a decent robot at their regionals, making shorter stacks and grabbing cans from the middle, but they really picked it up at champs, making 1.5-2 stacks/match from the feeder station throughout qualifications and getting picked as a backup bot in their division.
3015 won the Finger Lakes Regional as 4039's first pick from the 7 seed. At FLR, they were making capped, shorter stacks. In their division at champs, 3015 was selected as a part of the #2 alliance's second pick, and played a few rounds making uncapped stacks from the feeder while their alliance was preparing 4522's can grabbers.

Honorable Mentions:
329 was known for their wicked fast can grabbers, which they brought to both the Long Island Regional and to Waterloo. They earned their way to champs through an EI award, and also got picked and played in their division.

1507- 1507 had the best tote stack auto in the state, hitting it multiple times in qualifications and eliminations at the Finger Lakes Regional. They could make multiple short stacks from either the feeder or landfill, and they were capable of grabbing cans from the step during teleop in a pinch.

New York had a very good year overall.

Oregon is sadly a little light when it comes to strong teams. (most strong pnw teams are from Washington). But here they are:

4488: An incredibly dominant robot that ended up seeding 1st at every pnw event they went to. They played well to their strengths, and really should have gone to Einstein this year.

2550: A breakout year for 2550. They ended the season playing incredibly well at both their district events (1 district win, 1 district finalist), as well as getting to semi's at district champs. Sadly they could not attend worlds this year, hopefully that changes.

2990: Probably the most successful team from the area to build their stacks in separate parts. They came out in the season swinging, being one of the most impressive robots at the Willamette Valley scrimmage during week 0, and continued to play well throughout the season.

1425: 1425 was one of the best cappers in the northwest. That along with their can grabber at district championships made them a hot commodity for eliminations.

2635: a fast hp stacker that did well at their district events, but seemed to fall short on the big stage.

I will go ahead and put your team in there (955). You were a solid performer and a great team to play with. We had a great time playing with you in Philomath and at District Champs. Consistent and quick to make 2 capped stacks of six with the option of a third stack when the wind blew in the right way. You could be counted on every time.

You are also a great team to work with off the field and we were very happy that we got the chance to have you as an alliance member twice.

I'll take a stab at Virginia:

1. 2363/384 (2 capped 6 stacks from HP and some change)
3. 623 (2 capped 5 stacks from HP)
4. 1731 (Only bot I saw pull off 3 tote at the Va regional, landfill 6 stacks)
5. 1086 (Probably the second best landfill bot in our state, most consistent)

Not exactly our state but Maryland:
