By years, I'd go with...
2003: WildStang (111) for the hands-down best autonomous mode and the reigning King of the Hill.
2002: Beatty (71) for the second year in a row, they figured out exactly how to win the game.
2001: Beatty (71) for a design that perfectly won the game.
2000: ChiefDelphi (47) for the most impressive piece of engineering I've seen on a FIRST robot.
1999: OSMTech (27) for the fastest puck climber.
1998: Baxter Bomb Squad (16) for the best ball manipulation.
2000 was my favorite year, as far as robots go. Amazing machines from teams 1, 16, 25, 64, 67, 71, 111, 175, 190 and more.
My favorite robot that I've had the pleasure to work on was the 1999 Truck Town Terror (68) machine, despite her nasty habit of destroying drill motors and speed controllers as quickly as we could put them on.
