SO who are the big dogs in Archimedes…i think team 231 highvoltage will be a great player to watch for…also 624 is another good team…
I don’t think it’s really anyone’s place to bring up their own team in a discussion about top robots. It would probably be more classy to start the thread and wait for somebody to compliment your team. Respect will be earned on and off the field at the competition, let’s see how it plays out.
To add to the thread, I think 1114 and 2056 are probably the two biggest players on Archimedes. 222 and 1503 are strong as well. 39 will definitely be a team to watch out for. 488, 931, 1218, 61, 1712 and 503 are all more teams to look out for. For rookies I’d be looking for 2753 and 2826 to be the strongest rookies on Archimedes.
These threads can also be referred if you would like more information on who people like on Archimedes, many people have mentioned who they think will be competitive so far on Archimedes in these threads.

We got the opportunity to compete with 39 in the Phoenix, AZ regionals, and their design is just incredible. It’s basically what everyone else is using, with a conveyor belt, but they simplified it down and also added a nice, simple mechanism for deploying the orbit balls which I hadn’t seen on any other robot. I plan on watching to see how they’ll do.
