My selection will have a noted midwest bias.

Check out the flinger on 829 or 3940? It is a really neat, unique, and functional mechanism.

67- Need I really say more? Overall, the white paper does a nice job covering the design philosophy, but they have a ton of neat minor mechanisms to check out. Shiters, ball management, arm ride hegith control.

548. I personally love to watch this robot play the game. Their packaging and CG placement is one of their bigger "hidden assets". You may recognize many of their arm elements from some other big armed monsters...
330. See above but with a noted BB style.

1714- I just love what these guys put out each year. Yes, it is a bit of a gimmick, but it works for me.

1732- Chute Shooter. The only team I have seen do what a former world champion was not able to do successfully.
