Re: Best Teams

The most spirited teams on Galileo were indubitably 365, 75 and 1108. Since I was coach I didn't get to see a lot of the matches besides the ones we were in but the best robots I can remember have to be 254, 56 (The obvious choices, and I must point out that hearing 254's bot up close it kinda sounded like a cricket or something. Anyone else hear that and agree?) and 103. We played against 103 at NJ and at Nationals and they were always so quick that it was nearly impossible to play defense against them without getting a penalty. Unfortunately in our last qualifying match against them a wire to our arm came loose so we were resigned to playing defense and it was extremely difficult. If their lift mechanism was only a little bit faster I would have favored them to win it all.

Another robot that impressed me was 469. The could stack 3 at a time and I remember a qualifying match where they stacked 3 twice along with 2 other tetras on the center goal making it 8 high and no other bots could cap over that.

The best drivers have to be either 330's or 254's. Watching them both compete in the finals was a sight to see. Congrats to them along with their alliance partners.
