[FVC]: Hanging Around 2006-2007 best ball scorers

Well, since FRC has a post on the best scorers each year, I thought I might as well make one. Which team did you think did the best ball scoring this year? This does not include hanging or getting the atlas ball. However, it does include high and low goal as well as autonomous ball scoring.

For me, I would have to say team 1114 Simbotics and team 40 Checkmate can score the highest number of balls most consistently. Team 1114's manipulator was slightly slower than team 40, but it was extremely robust and could aid the robot in other tasks. Team 40's pickup speed as well as their basket speed was just amazing. They could fill up the high goal extremely fast. Both 40 and 1114 had nice autonomous modes. 1114 picked up the stack in front of them and scored it. 40 scored their preloaded balls and picked up the stack behind to score again.

Also, a couple of other teams I thought were exceptional were
3053 - great consistent fast ball scorer
3179 - very nice autonomous (picks up two stacks), also great scoring
3549 - wow thats a lot of balls they can hold and pickup
3402 - Mexican team! they were awsome

Also 3050 was a pretty good low goal scorer.

So which teams do you feel scored balls the best this year?
