In Galileo...

980 astounded me. In my opinion they had the best robot in our division. In autonomous they would grab the 2x, fold it back, and then trip whatever 10 pt ball they wanted to fall. Their arm was an marvel of engineering, its swivel captabilities were unbelievable.

469 could win any match by themselves. Most of you probably watched the finals, and saw how they could dominate by themselves. The matches between 93 and 496, as well as 177 and 496 were intense. Plenty of pushing matches, flipped robots, and tangling. for the record, 177 and 93 both also had superior bots.

358, in my opinion, was the best capper. They could effortlessly cap and uncap any goal, it was amusing in the final match when they and 469 ran around the field capping and uncapping eachother's goals. 358 also had one of the strongest and fastest drivetrains, I never saw anyone push them.
I have to agree with that about 980, I wasn't at nationals, but 980 did compete at the SoCal Regional I attended, and I was even lucky enough to be allied with them during one match. They do have quite the robot, and their autonomous is amazingly effective.
