Out of the 4 years that i have been on the team I would say this years is the best. Also our mentor who has been observing the team from its first year said this years was the best. We had a robot that not only did the task, it did it well. We had scoring arm that was fast and reliable that scored on the first row we scored 7 in a row all by ourselves a few times, and we had a ramp that was capable of holding 2 robots about 12 inches. The ramps work the way they were supposed to, but some teams had some trouble getting up. For the first time ever we finished the robot early and we were able to work some of the bugs out. Also for the first time we were able to get it powder coated, which made the robot the best looking robot the team has had.
We still don't have the best robot though, there are minor problems that we had, like people have trouble on the ramp, but no one is prefect every robot out there has its problems. But one thing that does happen to everyone is that they learn from there mistakes, and the next year plan things better. Every year we say we have the best robot that the team has had, and every year after we build something better.
Another thing we found out is that even though you have the best running, looking robot that you have ever had, doesn't mean you will win. And if you have a robot that doesn't do anything but defense, and isn't the best, don't think your out of the game, because those robot preform just as well as the best scoring running robots, and can bring home a win.
