They've also been a captain/first pick at every event since 2011, attended IRI in 2013, and build beautiful machines every year. They're also really nice people and always willing to answer questions every time I've talked to them.
Forgot about those guys (actually, I think I remembered, then sat down to write my last post and forgot).

I'd have to go tossup between 980 and 696: 980 has more wins (and finalists), and more recent, but generally builds something tough and scrappy, playing a lot of defense. 696 has more elegant machines and plays a lot of offense. Now if they could just team up together with another good offense robot...
