Re: Best Robots of 2006

1523 "M.A.R.S." - one of the best engineered catapults i've seen in FIRST, it was better than half the shooter wheels I saw

494/70 "Martians" - brilliant use of omnis. Period.

190 "GOMPEI" - forget the turret and tracking, the hopper on this bot was a peice of work. Look at video from BAE to see what I mean

1625 "Winnovation" - I have to mention them just because of the absolutely scary autonomous mode. The accuracy was just downright impressive.

254 "Cheesy Poofs" - Amazing driving at SVR. With the two speeds, they could dodge almost every other bot on the field. I have video of them getting on their ramp at the end, and remaining parallel to the ground the entire way up. Also one of the best alliance partners, they kept 71 from tipping multiple times in the Newton elims. 968 deserves a big shout out also, but I didn't get to see their bot as close, since they weren't at our regional.

EDIT: I just have to say that I've only mentioned robots here that i got to personally see up close. 254 is at our regional every year, and the rest were in Galileo at champs. There are many MANY robots i would like to mention, but these are a cross section of those that impressed me personally.
