I can see arguments for all the teams that are mentioned. 16, 125, 207 (really didn't see them feed as the only matches I saw them in was Einstein), and 4334 were all great feeders.

4334- the little robot that could and showed tremendous improvement as the year went on. The had a wide intake that was able to scoop the balls up quickly and dump over the barrier. They played some of the best defense I have seen all year. I see this team being the next 2056. Maybe not the amount of regional wins, but definitely the knowledge and skills to be a great team.

125- Started the season with a win in NYC because of amazing strategic planning. They moved on to Boston with a better shooter and ended as finalists. Champs didn't turn out as well as the regionals but still performed well. Speaking with members of 125 at IRI, they realized that they weren't going to be noticed as much if they stuck with shooting. They decided to try the feeding technique and it payed off. They were one of the best feeders there. They were able to give their alliance partners balls quickly because of their hopper and were able to load the balls faster than having to pick them off the floor.

16- Had an amazing season. Three regional wins, Division Champions, and World Champions. Took the feeder role at Champs and were the best feeder in the World. IMHO, they are the best feeder because unlike 125, they picked the balls off the opposing alliances side of the field. This makes the opposing alliance have to cross the barrier in order to retrieve scoring elements. Another reason that 16 was the best feeder was because their intake allowed them to feed directly into a robots intake. This is seen in the "High Score" match at IRI when they feed directly into 118 during telop. Another can be seen when they fed into 148s robot. (Wasn't planned)
