Re: coolest robots
Based on the Chesapeake Regional:
Oh, I definitely second 16. They were our alliance partners, and while both 1405 and our team had good 'bots, 16 was special. Their cap system was one of the best pieces of engineering I've seen on a FIRST robot, and while the cam system they used to climb the platform was a bit slow, it was amazingly cool to watch. We couldn't have won without them, and I'm sure they deserved the regional Chairman's too.
25's arm, and the way it auto-locked, was beautiful.
1083 built the drive train my team wanted to build. The difference is, they had the funding to buy the wheels and the actual machine skillz to build it properly. Their robot was so amazingly agile...
1403's robot was kind of ghetto-looking, lots of wood and styrofoam, but that disguised the fact that it was the most solid "shopping cart" robot at Annapolis. Their auton mode programming was amazing, especially for a rookie team that was run by its students & not its engineers...
