After the first week of regionals, and seeing three webcasts, I'm very confident in saying that Team 148 was the best team of the weekend. They went 8-0, despite being heavily defended and playing 45 or 217 every match. While many of the other top tubers from the weekend were often shutdown by defense, 148 still would find a way to keep scoring. Also, they have the ability to play some mean defense when the situation calls for it.

Let's just say, I'm impressed.

a great example of what i am going to coin "pick it and stick it". It appears that 148 picked a design (likely early on) and stuck with it. doing a small number of things with high efficiency obviously worked well for them. Nice work.

"Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication." - Leonardo DaVinci

John and Chris seem to be making a habit of creating simple and elegant robots which are near optimized for game challenges. Look at the geometry of their 2005 (with Team 229) and 2007 arms. Both were perfect for each challenge. Refined simplicity along with a smart strategic design are the keys to success in FIRST. Team 148 has mastered both this year.
