Ahhhh... memories of 2000. Thanks for reviving memories.

What an amazing robot for that time and that game. At GLR the RoboDAWGS (Team 288) probably generated the first crowd surprise with their defensive "popcorn maker" robot on practice day, but when 47 demonstrated their de-scoring and ball transfer ability the crowd just roared in amazement. From the beginning, they had dominated play, but it wasn't until near the end of eliminations that they chose to unveil that feature. What a way to finish an event!

I can't think of any message before or since travelling faster between the fields and throughout the pits at a Championship than the unbelievable news: "Chief Delphi is out of it ... structural breakdown." Everyone assumed they would win everything.
