Re: Your Best Robot

Well, we only have two robots...but I'd say the better of the two was this year's robot. Last year we won a regional and seeded 6th in Archimedes, but our robot was very basic. We had a nice corner goal autonomous that never missed and good defense, but that was the extent of it.

My team is very proud of our 2007 robot. We picked the best strategy for our team and went with it. It worked out beautifully. We knew we could build a solid defensive/ramp bot. We used pneumatics on this year's robot, a given for some teams but a step for us. We had almost no wood on the robot, and even used welding! We also used 4 CIMs (unfortunately with the BaneBots). We had a semifinal finish at our regional that was cut short by BaneBots failure, so we knew we could do well at the Championship. We ended proving ourselves (I think) to be one of the most consistent lifters around, and ended up a division finalist, better than we could ever have expected.
