Re: Top 5 robots in each state

Unfortunately, there seems to be no video evidence of this(for some reason only a couple matches of the MN state championship were recorded). They also had a can grabber that they could take out of needed.
Here are some more robots that deserve to be mentioned/considered when talking about the top 5-10 for MN: 1816 and 4778.
1816 was picked 5th overall in curie, which is very impressive, and their can burgulars were always consistent. 4778 also made some improvements before MN state, they were a tote bot that put 15+ totes on the scoring platform almost every match at state.

2883 in a match at MSHSL. They would have easily had 2 full stacks if that pesky 4536 team hadn't needlessly knocked over an RC.
