Re: Best robots at Nationals

Though I may be a bit partial, I believe that 45 had the best offensive robot at Nationals. Our first three and fifth qualification match scores were 180, 190, 200, and 210, respectively. This was only with the help of a hanger. Also, we scored the highest score ever, 230, during the third semifinal round.

The best defensive robot out there was definitely 494, they made some very smart moves during elims and this led to their winning the event. Watch final match 3 on Archimedes, the best defensive bot vs. the best offensive bot. A great match, after which the final score was determined by the referees not counting the 2x because it was touching our claw. Too bad for us, great for 494. Great job guys. Your bot has tons of speed and your driver is great at manuvering it from 40+feet away.
