I think 1038 was the best scoring 'bot. There were only a few who could consistently score anywhere but the bottom row. They could also score in autonomous.

378 had the best ramp or lifting design. They were in 30th place after the qualifications because of some real fluke events. They lost two matches because a string from one bot was touching the ground, and the other a drive chain from a 'bot was touching the ground. They lifted us through the quarters and the semis. The two matches of the six we didn't get 60 were both our fault. Once was a slipping transmission and the other we were on our back like a turtle in the sun.

1629 and 128 also had very consistent designs. They finished the qualifications 21st and 26th respectfully. Da Bears also had a great ramp design they rode to the championship.

We got up all of the ramps we played with. The one that gave us the most difficulty was CIA's. Their angle up the ramp was the steepest and we missed it once.

If you look at the rankings at the end of the qualifications for Pittsburgh, the strong defensive 'bots and rookies held most of the top spots.
