Re: Favorite 2014 Robots?
254 goes without saying. Same for 1114.
I think 4039 really nailed the simple but effective high goal scoring robot. Catapult is perfect for scoring in the high goal in the area immediately in front of the low goal and slightly beyond it. High release point, fairly flat trajectory. This is the robot I wish we built. 125 is somewhat similar.
973 read the game very well, better than almost anyone, and fielded a robot that could play any role but particularly excelled at the backcourt. They seemed to be the only team that really figured out how to use a goalie pole effectively, at least in the first weeks of competition. I think they built the perfect utility robot.
I've got more, but I wanted to get these two into the conversation.
