Team 217 - Thunderchickens

[FRC2669_Valery]

Thunderchickens are great this year.
They're robot is the best I've seen for this game (scoring goals)

469 is another story, they're very imaginative and they're robot is brilliant.
But, I believe that without 217 or any other good scoring robot, They would not have won the regionals that they did, and we've seen that when they had games that they had to score themselves and they were good but not as 217.

Eventually, in my opinion 469 217 are the best alliance I've seen. (and any medium scoring + defensive robot)

I believe we'll see them on Einstein this year!

Thank you Squeakypig. But I have to say that your robot this year is very impressive for a second year team, and you will be an incredible competitor in a couple years. You already are. I wish you the best of luck.

Danke!
Always good to see your fellow Sterling Heights team moving up the ranks eh?

Unfortunately, I am dependent on webcasts and video for most regionals and I didn't I have the opportunity to see much of 217 this year, but I was in awe of 1114. They clearly have produced a wonderful robot that can accomplish all aspects of the game (ball control, kicking, driving, and hanging).

I also have to hand it to their drivers. When I saw them hang from the tower with 5 seconds left and they were at least 10 feet away from the tower, I knew that machine would most likely win (which they did).
