Re: Best defensive robots throughout FIRST
Oh I love the old robots.
Team 131, CHAOS from 2000. They would pick balls out of the goals like no ones business

Lastly,...

Re: Best Robots by Age
I don't disagree that 144 was the best team to start from 1994. However, they don't exist anymore. All the teams on the list so far are currently competing.
Hey, gotta stick up for my team.

Re: pic: Heroes of Tomorrow 2012 - HOTBot
I am really interested to know how well that arm holds up throughout the competition season.
Did it take any hard impacts from other robots? What is it designed to take?
Also, what spares have you...

Re: Bumper Rules
No where in that rule does it say frame perimeter. It also doesn't specify if its the vertex of the frame or bumpers.
