It’s hard to see all the robots in FiM because we have over 400 teams and 24 events. Luckily 2 very knowledgeable Michigan Firsters do it for you! Every week they rate the teams in Michigan. The show they appear on each week does a good run down of each event and is a great watch. This is there current rankings with just this weekend’s competitions left before Championships next week. Our Championship will have 4 divisions of 40 teams and work similarly to worlds, looking forward to it

You got them all, except 3572 Wavelength - West Michigan.
These are all very good teams. 18 of them would have qualified for MSC even without the DCA. There is no trade-off between competition and inspiration in Michigan.
Maybe he just really likes our team! In all seriousness, we are very honored to be considered one of the top teams in Michigan and can’t wait to compete in Saginaw this weekend!
