I'm going to go with the most effective robots from each of my years in FRC:

-254(2016) Instant aiming and near perfect shooting accuracy. Runner-ups: 5172 and 2481

-2826(2015) Their 28pt autonomous was nearly perfect, and a mechanical and programming marvel to pull off. They also scored the world high score at champs. Runner-ups: 1114, 148 and 254

-2481(2014) Not the Poofs!??! Yes, not the Poofs. This was Roboteers "breakout" robot. Having a fully independent swerve drive with a 270 degree intake, low center of gravity, excellent ball control and a consistent catapult made them a force on the field. They made shots while moving sideways. Runner-ups: 254 and 16

-2169(2013) They were a purpose built FCS that backed it up. King Tec had almost the highest release point possible for their Frisbee shooter and amazing shooting consistency. The only thing that could stop them was when they filled up the high goal. 44 Frisbees in the goal in Colorado finals 1-2.

-1717(2012) I thought this robot was fake the first time I saw it driving and shooting. Runner-ups: 67, 341, 2056 and 2826

-1114(2011) Every component on Simbot Steve is off the charts good, but Simbotics defining advantage was their quick, clean and consistent release of tubes. World high score at Waterloo. Runner-ups: 111, 254, 33 and 987
