Hey GODUX123!!!
I always liked your name you guys…very well chosen…
But isn’t it BUILT ON BRAINS…???
Haha, maybe it wasn’t clear that I was being sarcastic. Obviously I am quite familiar with my own region, so when I said that I was thinking of the rich histories we have in the Northeast (especially if you look in the 170s-190s). I’m guessing that no one who voted came from the New England (or even mid-Atlantic?) region- while all the teams on the list are truly exceptional, they seem to come from a few specific regions. It’s hard not to be biased toward your own area, though.
254 is no. 1 so far in my book.
from what I have seen, they can fill a trailer the fastest, can load well like the rest of the best teams, and drive circles around other robots.
Perhaps it was better that Travis and Kirk worked with Cory in the same shop as opposed to that long distance relationship. God knows what would happen if Dave moved there also.
Prediction: This will be their year, finally.
If 254 ends up with 968 on the same division, I’d bet they pick each other and dominate the floor. That’s a sight I only saw once in Hawaii last year and my was it soooo pretty!
I’m from Israel, and i did not put any Israeli team in that list, although i think there is one team deserving to be there.
The reason i did not put any local teams, that i know of is because i thought it won’t be fair.
these are some of the best working robots i have seen so far i might be missing some robots, so sorry if i did not add you to this list
lets see how all the robots perform in the coming weeks

Well, after week one of regionals. There were many good teams, but one of the best, if thot the best, team at MWR was 1625 and I don’t think I’ve seen them on any lists. 1114 did well, but it was proven they were stopable. From what I heard, the technokatz (sp?), team 45 I believe, seemed to fan circles around the rest. Theyve only been on a few lists also.
I think the simplicity threw most of these guys off, we may not have crazy ball paths but the balls get from our bot to the trailer just as fast as those conveyor systems, just as a blob instead of a line.
I place no importance on lists made without seeing bots perform in matches.
This list shorted us, LookingForward shorted us a bit, guess what all that does is add to the motivation and oh look, we won midwest so where’s this lists credibility now
these things generally just make those not mentioned work harder.
in other words, bulletin board matireal. you never give it out to the opposing team in sports. and well now, you don’t give it out in FIRST or else teams like 1625 will actually do what their name states… win…
edit: when are the post week one rankings coming out?.. you know, the ones we see AFTER we have seen some teams actually play the game?
Dude I have no idea how 1625 didn’t get up on the final list. Frankly idk how 180 did get up there.
Aren, you guys were on my list and will be even higher for week 1 list.
Echoing the fact that this list is too subjective at this point.
A ranking before championships, like last year, is more appropriate and a more accurate representation of your top level teams.
The pre-ranking is fine, but making revisions after every week doesnt make sense simply because everyone hasn’t played yet.
But, I like reading about comments about certain teams that stand out every week. That will enlighten us as readers who weren’t at the event and give us a better picture when all regionals are played. That is already being accomplished by “Looking Forward.”
