seriously, gauranteed bots that doo particularly well should not get all the credit.
for instance, the techno ticks from the NH regional and UTC won both, and won chairmans. plus, they had a sick and amazing bot that could do almost anything, from all the bots i have seen, i havent seen any being able to on the fly grab boxes and stack them in one felsh swoop. and since they couldnt go to nationals, no one knew about them, and i belive if they had gone, they woul d have gotten alot more attention than just me.
other than that, the best bot ever i have seen would have to be our bot in 00'. R2K, this bot was really bad in competition, but it looked like a million bucks!...almost cost that much too
