I loved that bot.
It is one of my favorites.

(Yea, we keep pictures)
But it's not the most technical. The best bot for 1996
The PLACEBO!!! (God i bet most of you people wish you knew what the hell i was talking about)
1997 Wildstang.
Althought I'm a little surprise we haven't been mentioned. :-(
We did a perfect score several times. (I swear this is the only time I'm going to mention our bots, this was my favorite year, and are we using a telescoping arm similar to the one you describe first being used in 1998?)

Sadly, the Placebo was very cool, but couldn't compete. We scored some points for him. :-)
1998
Team 95, I love how they beat us by sucking the balls out from under us. literally.
The final year of the placebo, and don't you think they could have made it move?
1999
I'm gonna give it two 95 again. Anyone that can work airhorns onto your robot, deserves credit.
(BTW, who's this crazy guy?? (Tounge in cheek)

I liked buzz. I didn't pay a heck of a lot of attention this year....
