I see what you mean. I mistook a team from an organization. Although if the team and mentor plays it’s cards right it might do well as a team beyond the original members.
I’d say the best organizations get kids otherwise not already interested in or committed to STEM to follow career paths in it. Really good organizations help kids already interested in STEM to excel in following their goals and challenge them to succeed.
yeah pigpen is great. we have known about them for 3 years now and started actually talking to them during turning point. they have been top 3 in indiana for the past 3 years and won tp us open. they are so op and will become even more op once all the op 574 and 7701 (xd) teams graduate. they were 3rd on our picklist at worlds (behind 365x and 929u). they will probably be the most notable and memorable Indiana vex team of all time once they graduate.
12 teams
(20 character minimum)
USC, 2nd year of the new vex team and won exelence at worlds, op
574 is kinda bad though.
Seconded. 8000 is an organization built upon greatness. Always interested to see how insane their robots are every year.
@lewie.eath is insane!! 8k is OP.
Remember, the point of VEX is not to win, but to learn. We should be judging based off of learning opportunities, and not competitiveness
That said, I would like to nominate 929 Hereford Zone Robotics, as they are a huge all grade level organization that teaches the students really great engineering concepts. I have seen many examples of elementary school students progressing in build quality year to year. Plus, if you’re still going to count competitiveness, 929U went to the round robin last year and was picked by first seed in research division this year.
As a runner-up, I’d say team 24. (Definitely no bias here.) Again, this is judging on more than just competitiveness. (Not that 24C wasn’t one of the best bots during Sack Attack, or that we haven’t sent at least one team to worlds every single year of vex.) But jokes aside, Super Sonic Sparks is a 4-H club that has more members every year, and students of all ages and grade levels. Our leader/mentor is not only an amazing teacher, but a great role model too. One time, he had my team over to his house to work literally all night in his basement on order to finish the bot for next year’s competition.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned 2 yet. I think they are past their prime, but historically they have been very strong. (2 of their teams got into the worlds finals of gateway with completely different bots)
RR is pretty nice
Yeah the 2s are a historically strong group, as are the 1010 teams now.
As of today, 6627. 5225 was good this year, but definitely not the same caliber as last year. They got reputation picked by 6627a in arts div.
574C was top of skills up into Workds where they came in second. That’s pretty good I’d say.
9605A did really well this season, being 1st in the elo rankings.
@jack202020 Is on 574…
@Anomaly 3324 in middle school is ridiculous
Sorry I don’t agree with people who report posts and then brag about it.
