My pick (OK so I am a little prejudice!) is Wildstang 2000. It did everything on the field. Limbo, pick up balls while driving, (fast when empty, slightly slower when full) pick up from or give back to the human, climb the ramp, hang and even remove balls from the goal. If needed we could pull an alliance partner up with us. When it was depositing balls in the goal it looked like it was manufacturing them because we could hold 12.
This picture is the robot being demonstrated for incoming students and parents at an eighth grade intro night. That is me with my back to the camera. It is the robot I am pictured with in my signature as team members are discussing a problem with the ball lift.
