And don't forget only 30 robots get into the book.

Rockport Publishers will be publishing a book featuring
30 award-winning robots from the 2006 FRC competition
that demonstrate engineering and design excellence.
Each of the robots featured will be documented over
several pages outlining the design and the design
processes used through information and process images
that the FRC teams supply. This book, the only one of its
kind, will offer technology enthusiasts, including FRC
members interested in learning how creative processes
are applied to develop sophisticated robots, with an intimate
understanding of what it took to design and build
these winning robots. The book will be published and
available through major bookstore chains such as
Amazon, Borders, and B&N, as well as around the globe
and possibly in multiple languages, in the fall of 2007.

My votes go to all the teams that one multiple times, 25, 121, 233 just to name a few

yes, but don't discount those that won but only attended one regional. Some of those designs are probably just as good!

I definately think MOE (365) should be put in. They had an amazing robot who was almost impossible to beat. They were able to do what they were designed to do, and do it well.

Well, my team (1635) did not win any one of those, so how does it get on the list?

I think it will be tough to guess how this book will turn out at this point. Based on what we submitted, and we did spend some time on our entry, I think it would be hard to use as is. I believe there'll be some follow up that will have to happen with the 30 bots that are selected. We got our Quality Award, but I think we impressed the judges the most with our control system and software. Unfortunately the questions for the Quality Award weren't structured to discuss that aspect and seemed only to stress the robustness of the robot.

Oh well, I look forward to what comes out of all this 18 months from now.
