Re: Your Best Robot
For me personally, it's a tie between Beach Bot 2005 and Beach Bot 2007.
At first glance, they look like almost the same robot. Same wheel types, but '07 has AM Gen2 pneumatic gearboxes and '05 has KOP trannies from that year. Slightly different arm gearing, IIRC. Different gripper and "side devices"--wedges for '05 and ramps for '07. Also, '05 has more shielding than '07 (2005 was covered by Lexan; 2007 had a small piece on the front and used its ramps as shields). Other than that, they're the same overall design.
Second place goes to our 2004 robot. All it did was hang on a 10' bar and slide around on it, but it usually won the match. (50 points per robot up, and we could almost guarantee 50 for us and zero for our opponents if we got up. Most of the times that didn't happen, we blocked one robot while another came up. Either that, or we went over before getting onto the bar.)
