2008 had possibly the most argued overall designs with two; 1519's initial design was ruled illegal and many people thought that it wasn't. (By the letter of the rules, it was almost completely legal due to a circular definition; by the spirit of the rules, it was obviously illegal. The circular definition was eliminated for the 2009 season.) Both the robots involved in said design were pretty successful at off-season events. Least-liked penalty: tie between 2008's <G22> (direction of travel enforcement, 10 points) and 2005's contact in loading zone penalty, not-so-affectionately dubbed the Kiss of Death (30 points). Let's just say that those two could change the winner of a match really easily--and often did. If you had the loading-zone penalty in 2005, you'd probably lose the match no matter how well you did. Two of them in a match would guarantee most teams a zero score. |

Also, while we're throwing out subjective suggestions on biggest upset, I nominate the quarterfinals knockout of 1070, 254 and 692 by 766, 488 and 852 at SVR 2007. This marked the only time to date 254 did not win the San Jose regional. |

Re: FIRST records
What about teams with really unique drive trains or mechanisms?
i know the technokats 45 had a second ball drive train that they loaned to a team at the Midwest regional in 2003. They had like big inflatable balls from like walmart or something that they used to move around, it was quite cool to watch move. The balls did like to come out though if the robot got hit to hard or at a bad angle. |

Re: FIRST records
I believe team 2418 also implemented a rather effective vacuum device in their 2008 robot. They were one of my personal favorite robots at the Minnesota regional, a really effectively implemented strategy in what was their rookie year.

How about number of awards?
These totals don't have the 2009 awards added in yet, but here are the award totals by team from 1992 through the 2008 season. FRC has given out a grand total of 6825 trophies in those years. Code:
(1992 thru 2008)Now for the drawbacks of these award tallys... Some of the early award information from FIRST is pretty skimpy, but it's better than what the current FIRST database has available nowadays. Some known awards haven't been correlated to modern day team numbers and added into this list. I'm also not sure how Michigan district event awards are handled in the current FIRST database. Attached is a database dump of the awards tally I used. P.S. If you want to send me corrections, please do. I'll incorporate them. |
Re: FIRST records
That's a pretty nifty list you got there. Cool facts that really don't matter: 1714's the most decorated 2006 rookie team. :D (Granted, we have one more than 1902, whom opted out of a second Rookie All-Star award. We would have done the same if we knew we could win a second one.)
Interesting data. I wonder who "wins" on trophies / year average? |
