Re: MCC (Minimum competitive Concept 2015

A few robots come to mind this year as MCC's.
1711 was the third robot on the MSC championship Alliance, and the fourth robot on our Carson Championship Alliance. They could make stacks of 4, cap stacks of 4, and grab cans. Very simple robot as well.

558, as usual, came up with an effective and simple design utilizing mostly COTS materials. They were the third robot on the 1730 Alliance in Carson this year, and primarily advertised themselves as a capper of stacks of 5. They also had can grabbers.

263 won South Florida early on consistently making 1 stack/match, then attended two New York events, where they upped their game to 2.5 stacks/match. Their robot consistently of a short elevator with Indiana tabs on one side and a short elevator to grabs cans with on the other.

Lastly, the simple concept of the year, 1325. 1325 captained the #2 Alliance on Carson to an Einstein berth using a design simpler than almost any other effective design in the world. 3 stacks/match from the feeder with only two motorized subsystems on their robot.

EDIT: One more that I forgot was 4967. 4967 is from Michigan, and consists literally of just an elevator with a hook on it that they used to mine the landfill and grab RC's from the step during teleop.
They were a high seed at multiple events, including MICMP, where they captained the 11th seeded alliance to a semifinal berth.
