Re: coolest robots
After attending regionals for the past three weeks, here are the robots which have most impressed me.
Team 48 -- The best robot that attended the Pittsburgh regional. They mounted the decks like they weren't even there. Their drive train was so powerful they pushed robots around with ease. Add an incredibly quick hanging arm, and you've got an amazing package. I can't wait to work with them again at the Canadian Regional.
Team 69 -- You know what they say about robots with big wheels, don't you?... Yeah, they get on the deck quickly.
Team 229 -- For a second here, lets ignore their strong and massive arm. Their drivetrain is simply awesome. It's powered by the CIM and has a two speed gearbox. They didn't really get to show off the power until the elimination rounds in Long Island, but man did they show it off. Every match they were in, we just sent them after on of our opponents. They would engage the opponent and lock them up for the entire match. It was a defensive masterpiece. Our alliance (311, 1114, 229) never lost a match that 229 played in. Just awesome.
