I don't know if I'd really put them up for the best robot in the world, but 973's offseason bot 9973 was pretty amazing. They hit 6 cycles basically every match, and really showed what a butterfly drive is capable of. Plus, it's basically the robot that every signal veteran team should have built instead of the one they actually built. It was that dominant, and super simple.

A little bit of bias here, but I'm gonna agree with that first einstein match. It was a perfect match in every way, every robot was going all out, it looked like it was snowing on the field with how many frisbees were in the air the entire match. I also agree that 9973 was amazing. One of the simplest designs in 2013, yet it completely dominated every competition it went to.

4 teams, 1717, 2056, 1310, and 359. I hold nothing against these teams for those choices though as I would have done the same thing. In fact we were hoping it would play out that way.
Also I think 4814 was the rookie team of the year, I made a post about them in another thread:

I can't think of any other team that has captained an alliance all the way to division finals their rookie year.

I don't think any rookie team has ever been that close to winning champs while captaining their alliance.
