2005 RadioShack Innovation In Control Award--What Won?

Well, we've now had 31 (give or take) winners for this year.

And since I don't think anyone on CD knows what won Innovation in Control at all of the competitions, I'm sure nobody would mind knowing more about those systems that were picked out as the best of the best.

<edit>I found this on 237's award at Finger Lakes. I'll quote, to save a click:

Quote:
The RadioShack Innovation in Control Award celebrates an innovative control system or application of control components to provide unique machine functions.

The future of robotics competition is here! So long manual interface! Although autonomous mode is now less than 10% of the game, one machine made it so easy, the judges think it’s the wave of the future.

One robot here today could find the tetra, pick it up, find the goal, and position the tetra over the goal - all without human intervention. How, you ask? With automated sensing and actuating, as well as flawless software controls.

The judges know autonomous controls are a complex journey, but this team made it look easy. For successfully taking the challenge to develop an effective autonomous control system,

The RadioShack Innovation in Control Award is presented to team 237 – Sie-H2O-Bots
