Ahhhh... memories of 2000. Thanks for reviving memories.
What an amazing robot for that time and that game. At GLR the RoboDAWGS (Team 288) probably generated the first crowd surprise with their defensive "popcorn maker" robot on practice day, but when 47 demonstrated their de-scoring and ball transfer ability the crowd just roared in amazement. From the beginning, they had dominated play, but it wasn't until near the end of eliminations that they chose to unveil that feature. What a way to finish an event! I can't think of any message before or since travelling faster between the fields and throughout the pits at a Championship than the unbelievable news: "Chief Delphi is out of it ... structural breakdown." Everyone assumed they would win everything. |

I watched a whole video of the Midwest regional from that year....it was amazing. This was also the year that 45 used an almost all Lexan lift system.

Here are a couple good threads about the best robots of all-time
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=29843 (This lists by myself and Jason Morrella are pretty comprehensive) http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39188 For the reasons stated by me in those threads, Beatty 2001 was the most dominant FIRST robot of all time, and until there's a major shift in the current game format, I expect them to hold that title. |

121's bot comes to mind from 2002.
That was one of those outstanding robots that struck fear into everyone's minds. No matter how hard they tried, National Champions of 2002, RAGE, couldn't beat 121. Everything about it was just perfect. Strong drivebase, huge ball capacity, the backboard it created for human players when it dumped balls into the goals. 121 simply built a stronger robot than the alliance captain of the 2002 National Champion Alliance. |
