Re: Which robot(s) did you like the best this year?

Favorite top scoring bots:
118 - 'nauts were just crazy this year
148 - best split robot design, wish the original auto was legal
1114 -best landfill
2826 - best feeder station and auto
987 - can grabbers and ability to cap stacks while dominating the landfill
254 - crazy 6 stack time with the ramp
2056 - universal all rounder

The interesting bots where I liked unique mechanisms or out of the box ideas:
4488 - the way the container claw worked with the internal stacking I thought was interesting and unique
1671- robot on stilts sliding the totes underneath the frame
33 - liked the "stack compressor" to manage the stability of stacks
67 - container manipulator was unique how it flipped it over the top
179 - mecanum wheels on the container claw? Wish it was at worlds so I could have seen it
1241 - dual stacks while also fitting in the transport config. Out of the box thinking
3310 - articulating arm was a work of art, also those can grabbers...
1987 - wall of stacks is a sight to behold
1678 - can grabbers, can grabbers, can grabbers

Favorites from the midwest/regionals I attended:
3130 - dominated their regionals with consistent play
525 - great 3 stack a match robot
876 - consistent improvements throughout their events
2481 - swerve drive with great landfill stacking ability
1756 - great intake and ramp designs enabled quick feeder station stacking
4143 - stackzilla, with the telescoping can grabber and tote elevator
2451 - swerve drive with the universal ability for both areas of the field
