Re: Most inspirational bots for you
Team 1450's robot in their first season last year. It was very simple, didn't do much and never won any awards but it was the personification of what FIRST is all about. They didn't even have a team until the week of January 17th and had to bust their behinds to build a functioning robot in a shorter peroid of time with 5 students and 4 adults (and I don't think they had a mechanical engineer amongst them). Sure it's great to see dominant robots that cut a swath through every team that crosses their path or has really cool features (I absolutly love 279's robots the last 2 years) but give me smaller new programs who are just happy to create a functioning robot from scratch without a large budget and an amazing staff of genius engineers at hand. Those teams are truly the heart and soul of FIRST even if they aren't making the trip to the podium 3 to 5 times a season.
