2009 Drivers
 
So, I have to ask, Who had the best drivers this year? Who drove the wheels off their robots? Who shot more balls accurately than anybody else?

Off the top of my head, 67, 111, 1538, 1114, 2056, 2753, 343, 217, 148, 188, 610

What about 2753, one of the highest scoring robots at the championship?

without a doubt, i think the best drive team in the country in 816's.. i may be a bit biased, but if you have seen them as much as me, you know how awesome they are, and how well they communicate with each other, and this leads to awesome driving skills...

others that i found good were 1923, 2753, 103, 25, 341, 217, 365...

67, 217, 1717 were the best I saw. I feel we had very strong drivers as well.

399 had some awesome drivers in addition to the teams already mentioned here.

816 was insane, Dustin and his whole crew were way more impressive up in person.

I think it's pretty clear that 217 had the best drive team. Their ability to adapt their strategy quickly during their matches made them incredibly effective. In general though, its hard to compare drive teams to each other, as they aren't operating identical robots. An average drive team operating a very effective robot will look better than an amazing drive team driving a kitbot.

I would have to say 111 and 217

I know that 67 and 1918 had the most "experienced" drive teams in the entire program. Meaning, they played more matches than anyone else that I am aware of. Each team had a total of 87 matches. Not bad if you ask me!

What about 1625? I wasn't able to see them at the Championship, but their drivers were amazing at Midwest.

816 had some mad drifting skills out there, and very fun to watch.

11 had some great drivers as well.

Thanks for the shout out. The swerve along with the surface made this year a challenge. We told Ziggy to drive it like he stole it, and I think he did a great job. He's been around the program 10 years, but this was his first time driving. I can't wait to see next year, when he's a senior. Our operator, Seph, also had a good touch on the trigger, and the communication between the two worked well.

There were a lot of very impressive machines out there, but all the engineering isn't worth much if it can't perform without a good drive team. The teams that rise to the top and find themselves going far have the complete package of a good machine, drivers, human player, and most importantly, a good alliance. :)
