254's 2011 robot slipstream was probably the fastest robot in FRC. WCD, only 4 cims, super light.

IIRC they were around 110 lbs in 2011 (although I'm remembering that from a while ago), and geared at something like 18fps. I think their 2014 bot was their fastest in recent memory, weighing in at something like 87 lbs and geared at 20+ fps.
While I'm sure they're not the "fastest" robot (in terms of straight line max speed) I've ever seen, 9973 last year has absolutely phenomenal acceleration, great driving, and a pretty fast top speed. I think they'll stick in my mind for a while as the fastest looking bot I've seen.
