Ogre knows of what he speaks. I believe he was driving for 173 (195 and 88 were alliance partners) in the 2002 New England Regional Finals against the eventual Champs 121, 69, and 103.
Here are some pictures from 103's perspective:

I've got match video of the entire finals from SOAP if anyone is interested.

121 was awesome that year and had a sewing machine in the pit (Edit - Elgin beat me on this tidbit /Edit)

Here's a great view of that machine. Notice the hotel room door 121 sign on the robot and the hole our team put in the fabric accidentally during the finals (thank god the ball mechanism wasn't running at the time)
