Re: What is the best robot EVER in FIRST?
 

even though I'm a little partial to southeastern teams I'll throw my .02 in, my favorites have to be:
from 2001 team 267....rather try to balance the goal on the ramp they simply lifted the goal straight in the air and place it on the bridge.....an ingenious idea I never saw anyone duplicate that year
2002 teams 180 & 16....180 awesome innovative drive train....16 give them 1 goal and they could easily take the match....
2003 team 312....anyone that saw the autonomous mode can tell you why it was awesome....the entire wall down in the first 3-4 seconds....and not using a telescoping arm....
2004 teams 343 & 33 - MiM was litterally off the charts with the power of their drive train....33 wow could that thing pick up balls....

Well I have only been involved with FIRST for 2 years now but I would have to say my favorite is Team 111's 2003 robot. What we called the "butterfly" could dominate the ramp like no other

My personal favorite is the 2000 Chief Delphi 'bot. It was one of the first robots I saw (besides my own), and it still impresses me, to this day. It was simply an amazing machine in action. Smooth, sleek, and efficient. It really makes me wonder what would've happened had it not broke in the elims at Nationals that year. So, the amazing accomplishments and added potential of that 'bot, and the sheer coolness factor give CD5 my vote for best robot ever in FIRST.

#25 in 2000. Saw it at both the J&J regional and Nationals, still have vivid dreams about it.
