One team we had the opportunity to work with was 4909 the Billerica Bionics this past year. They were a small team for their first season but they really understood those "Golden Rule" concepts and really ran with a robot design of their own. A picture of their robot is
here where they have a spring loaded claw that can move forward outside their frame perimeter to collect balls and bring them back inside their robot. They had a consistent autonomous from the start of the season that drove forward and spit into the low goal. During the match they assisted with their partners and were strongest at quickly picking up the ball and depositing it into the low goals. At the Granite State District they had the second highest assist points (rank 15 & first pick by the 7th seed) and at the WPI District they had the most assist points (rank 4 & captains of the 3rd alliance).
It was a very strong, consistent robot and well built for a team in their first season using minimal in house resources and readily available kit components.
