Re: Best Robots of 2006

In no particular order--

1114 and company--fantastic, almost immovable drivebase. Great shooter from range, and close up. Very efficient human loader. Only "weakness" was floor loading capabilities, which were still very sufficient. Had imho possibly the best auton of the year--it either made darn near every shot it took, or didn't take any shots at all, leaving them in position to score all their balls after auton.

469--AMAZINGLY fast and accurate shooter. Simply deadly. With a turret no less. You'd better hope you can outscore them, cuz you're prolly not stopping them. Same with 1114

217--Fantastic autonomous. Also one of my picks for best auton. Great turret, very nice ball sorting/delivery system to eliminate jams, and good drivers. Their competition results just about say it all.

111-Probably the best auton of the year. Even when hit they managed to correct and make most of their shots. In addition to this, they had a ton of different paths they could take before shooting-making it much harder to knock them off course in the first place. If they managed to get up on you early during auton, you were in trouble. Very nice ball delivery system to keep from jamming, while still retaining a wide pickup zone to facilitate loading. Had they been able to human load, they would have been even better.

987--Great all around robot. Good turret and ball pickup, combined with a solid drivebase and good driving/strategy. They were a force on Newton. Another team that could sink you during auton.

70/494--Very much like 469 in function. Two scary teams.

25--Speedy, with a good turret. They couldn't hold as many balls as some others, but they usually made all of them count. Another excellent ball sorting mechanism, that was very simple.
