Re: 2007 best tube scorers

We all know how good 1114 is, but two other teams caught my eye this weekend at Waterloo; 2056 and 854.

2056: think of 1902's bot in the 4' limit, their 4 bar linkage is beautiful and can easily put up 6-7 ringers in a match. These guys are the best rookies I have seen since 1503, its no coincidence they come from the Niagara FIRST family. Their only weakness is that they can get bullied, but their drivers are no rookies (having past experience in off-season events).

854: Their omni system is fluid and the drivers use it to its fullest abilities (which is rare for omni systems). The have a great pickup position which makes it easy for them to pick up, they have a great scoring motion on their arm, and a great release point. Then on top of that they have great ramps that are easy to get up on.

Watch out for these two bots at GTR they are going to put on a show with the rest of the great scorers.
