Thanks P.J. I would have to say that I have a couple favorites.
97' If the controller didn’t break we might have been able to edge out Beatty in the semi's that year. (We did beat them to the top with a tube that year. I wish we had video of that round) We also had top score that year with I think it was 228 points in a seeding round.
98' I'll never forget the human player that threw a ball at our claw so hard I thought we were finished. Instead the robot just shook and kept going. We lost to the Chief in NH in the semi's going a couple tie breakers back. We also seeded first in epcot and won two quality awards.
01' Tommy and Eric made that machine work so smoothly.
06' Our defensive power house. Greg and Andrew/ Chris had that machine working better than any of us would have imagined.
07' The "Ring Wrangler II" our 97 robot was the Ring Wrangler I. This machine needed small adjustments and the help of two perfect robots to give us our first championship win. Thanks to Steve and Hunter of course...
