It’s disappointing that 5254 HYPE didn’t qualify this year – they put out quite a strong showing in SBPLI. Definitely one of the perennial NY powerhouses, and their bot this year was no slouch.
At the beginning of the season we decided we weren’t attending unless we qualified through a regional, which we failed to do. It sure lights a fire under your pants to do better the next year!
They are in Turing off the wait list.
Also watch 5458 Digital Minds in Hopper, also off the wait list. Alliance captain twice this year, with the fastest robot it the field.
842 really stepped up its game in the LVR playoffs. Hope that carries over to next season.

Well, this is awkward. I honestly didn’t know we were up at the top until I pulled the data together. If you are like me and dislike it when people use threads like these to promote their own teams, feel free to ignore 4536 on that list.
So when you mean “not qualify for champs”, do you mean the ones a part of the waitlist group too?
Happy we made the list, sad at the same time.
I’ll say 291. They were really quick gear placers and the suspension-like design helped them a lot.
I like it when data does the talking.
Speaking of …
when will you update your ELO workbook to show 2017?
Probably a couple of days after St. Louis champs, then an update in August after the FoC.
I believe the OP is referring to teams that will not be competing at either championships despite fielding a good robot.
Now, I know this is geared towards robots, but I am surprised that 503 didn’t qualify to present for Chairman’s at the championships.
Glad to see us on the list, even though we didn’t qualify this year!
2054 Tech Vikes
All in all a great team, tried a swerve drive this year, had some mechanical issues, but was still a strong competitor.
Sad not to see 2771 Code Red Robotics on the list as well. (as far as I’ve seen, someone correct me if I’m wrong)
Also a bit disappointed about 5069, The Iron Giants. They’re a pretty small team, but were a solid third pick at Kentwood, have amazing team spirit, and embody the spirit of FIRST in general, especially regarding safety.
2771
They had a solid, super consistant gear cycler and climber and did solid at every event I saw them at. Not to mention they were not a bad shooter either.
I’m amazed 1690 didn’t make it by winning something (they’re going to Houston, presumably off the waitlist). They built what looks like an effective machine that seems to have performed pretty well in quals at two of their three regionals/district events/whatever, but at all of their events they were knocked out in the quarterfinals or semifinals. I also know from working with them in the past that their drive team is always extremely well-trained and well-practiced.
It’s crazy to me that last year they were the first pick of the Tesla subdivision alliance and came extremely close to winning on Einstein but this year didn’t qualify for championships through a victory or an award.
Can’t tell if you’re joking, so I’ll explain.
They are in the district system. They performed very well at dcmp and qualified.
PS never assume because it makes an…

This has been reiterated multiple times in this thread, but nevertheless, holds true.
Team 3528 is definitely very high on this list. We loved working with this team in pink, both at the KC Regional and the Iowa Regional. Throughout the competition, we ran 3 matches together in these two regionals and way too many against each other (
). Over this time, Up Next proved to be an excellent team. They were ranked 1st in the highly competitive KC Regional and managed to place 4-5 gears per match with an autonomous gear that never failed, in addition to having an incredibly friendly and supportive driveteam. When we finally pulled out of those semifinals from hell, I think our first thought was “wow, I hope Up Next wins REI or Chairmans because they definitely deserve to be going to worlds, way more than us.”
Wow I never even realized pink didn’t make it this year, that’s the first time I can remember since 05.
