of course, 118 beat out both of them on the OPR scale, so what does that tell you about Feeder shooter vs cycling 
I'd argue for 469 or 987 in 2013, though I think the beauty of that game was that it was literally impossible to be a complete powerhouse (my team tried to do everything. we failed miserably  ) |
I was very impressed with 1425's shooter on galileo. They were very slippery on the defense, and had the ability to strafe towards the pyrimid when being defended by a blocker and shoot through the pyrimid very accurately. Favorite robot on that field by far. They even toasted us in a qual match.

However, that's far before my time, so I'm going to go ahead with 2169 King Tec and their monstrous FCS in 2013. Their shooter only took ~2 shots to dial in perfectly, and unless you threw up a 7' blocker in front of them, you could only watch as discs piled into their opponent's goal. Given maybe 10 extra seconds in teleop and playing undefended, I'm sure that they could shoot all 45 discs into the opponent's goal, a stat that no other team can challenge.
1114 in 2015 is a close second IMO, they built stacks from the landfill or the HP station (RAMP RAMP RAMP) like no other team could, and they had a very effective cangrabber at CMP as well.

Our robot was at its peak performance at the denver regional, there we had the possibility of doing the 45, but as the shooter was used so much there was some deteriation going on to champs which we could never rectify completely. The thing had a knack for jamming/tipping right at the most critical of times. IE. finals on galileo. It doesn't feel as bad when you lose to the eventual world champs though
.
I'm making a plug for 610 here just for the fact that the could go 6ish cycles regardless of the defense that was played on them. Now that was truely impressive.
