Re: Who was the best hanger?

Team 48 Delphi E.L.I.T.E.

I lost track of how many last second hangs these guys pulled out. They could play defense for a good 1:40, then go to hang and make it with time to spare. They knew exactly where to position their robot and arm to minimize the time it took to complete the maneuver. They turned hanging into an art form.

The winches employed by teams 60, 67 and 254 were also great to watch as well. These floor hangers were very hard to defend. I was shocked to see how quickly these teams managed to get themselves off the ground via a winch. It took some smart engineering to make this happen.
