Re: Best Robots by Age
Basel is right about everything as usual. Except I do think 195 should be considered along with 48 and 180 for the rookie class of 1998.

Most prognosticators got 195/987 and 1501/1986 right, with a tad fewer correctly predicting 148/1678 (usually throwing 971 in the mix instead). Most people also got 2056...
