I think the best dumper far and away is 322. The F.I.R.E Team built a robot that FLYS around the field at the speed of sound and dumps extremely well. 1747 is an excellent dumper. How they weren't picked at Boilermaker boggles my mind. Geo-Motion is a great robot as well. Gina Sweet and the rest of the gang at 1504 really designed an excellent bot. It ground loads as well as Wildstang, and that is saying something. Team 963 and Team 123 were both at Buckeye. They were members of the number one aliance. They both were able to score very well and both loaded well

My top defenders is an interesting list. Team 872 is the only purely defensive robot that i have seen be a picker. That thing is the best defensive machine that was built all year. It moved very well and pushed well. Team 1272 had what may be the greatest defensive play this year (Look at my post for Best Matches). 503 and 451 were excellent defenders and also were able to shoot. 1781 was a strong defender at Wisconsin. They were able to push team 1625 around in the finals. You notice team 322 in the defenders list. They are an excellent defensive robot as well.
