Wow, I remember that, that was the craziest thing ever.

Such good programming.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

Absolutely awesome, but I believe you'll find that they didn't post that till after championships, and I don't remember seeing them do it in any competition during the season.

Who was GOAT* in 03-05?



*- Greatest of all time.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

From what I've heard/seen, I believe 111 were one of the top teams in 03.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

67 was pretty dominant in 2005 if I recall. Then, FRC was like "Nope. Change the rules." 67 changed their robot's base dimensions by shifting their side onto the ground during Hybrid mode. When a robot gets a rule created after it, it's pretty important.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

Putting a robot in 2012 doesn't really make sense, as there was no "most dominant" robot that year. 1717 had a great robot; however there were other great robots just as good. 987 for example was undefeated until Curie; and they ended up being World Finalists. 341 had 4 gold medals and a division silver. 118 had an amazing robot on Newton, they didn't get as much notice because of some sensor issues on Einstein.

I could keep going, but I think it makes more sense just to leave 2012 blank.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

I am fairly certain it was posted before Championships and I remember saying that I thought our single Ubertube was good :P

They had trouble doing 3 though, the last Ubertube often didn't make it, because they were in a rush to put it on.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

Although I wasn't on a team to witness triple play, watching videos of the game I'd venture to say 330 was one of the most dominant in 2005. However, strategy had a lot to do with being successful in 2005. 330 just had one of the simplest robots that year and tremendous strategy (namely, taking away a triple play at the far end that usually are triple plays for the alliance behind that side of the glass) and execution of said strategy.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

It was not from after champs and they nearly executed it during quals at champs. I remember rushing over to their field to see it the first time they ran it. There was some kind of silly programming or setup mistake they made that caused the 3rd tube to not make it.

An interesting thread similar to this one from long ago can be found here:

From what I've read, it sounds like 47 for 1998 and a tossup between 25 and 47 again for 2000. A better opinion would likely be given by someone who was actually around back then though, all I have is what I could scrounge up on CD as I've only been around FRC since 2007.

Edit: found a photo of 47 from 2000. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/12954 They are the pioneers of the swerve, first making on in (if my research is correct) 1998.

Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year
 

I've got to agree. There wasn't a bot that I would really put head and shoulders above the field last season. 1114, 2056, 67, 469, 987, 548, and about a dozen more could all contend for most dominant. 1717 was a great robot to be sure though and a sight to see when everything was going well.
