I just thought i'd list off a few robots that stood out in my mind:

First of all:

Team #71... amazing balancing ability.. they did it quickly and efficiently almost every time from off the ramp.

Team #111 - i love the ramp, it was an amazing sight to watch your bot from just a few feet away fold out into a complete ramp.

Team #175 - Who else would set up a complete machine shop in their pit? BUZZ..

Team #45 - The autobalance that worked every time.. almost killed me in the finals on galileo to see how easily you guys balanced.

Team #38 - Drivers... wow, they balanced almost as efficiently as 45, but they did not use a program to do it. Drivers are definitely key. Also, if you have time sometime, check out their goal grabber mechanism... very nice design.

This is all i can think of off hand...

What does everyone else think??

Team 365's Li'l MOE sure stood out in my mind. On those web casts, it was the easiest one to spot with that sublime green paint job. And those balancing wings.. worked like a charm every time.
