Re: Best Robots of 2006

My favorite out of the robots that haven't yet been mentioned has to be 233, the Pink Team. This robot's 6-wheel drive was pretty much immovable, and their camera-controlled turret ensured spot-on delivery of balls, every time. The "Archimedes screw" was a great way to store, index and feed balls with just the one mechanism. The aesthetics were very well done - if you can stand the colour pink, that is! I had the pleasure of seeing 233 dominate its way to winning the Boston regional, and it was an extremely nerve-racking experience to have had to face them in the Archimedes finals.
