We seeded 15th at SVR, and won rookie all-star, then seeded 68th in Curie and was chosen by the 4th alliance as backup. (shout out to 5803, 3310 and 2168). I don't our robot could be competitive on Einstein but it was probably one of, if not the simplest robot that I saw at CMP.

This had to be one of my favorite robots of the year. Ridiculously simple and effective, and definitely a robot I'll use as an example in future years when trying to explain MCC. (It was also really tiny and I have a thing for small/cute robots.)
