[Ben Piecuch]

The 2001 Bobcat Team (177) of Eric O'Brien and Tom Schindler. They drove that robot as though it was a perfect extension of their own arms. Handling the Big ball, dragging goals around and balancing them on the bridge, as well as limbo'ing, were all made to look so easy... They turned an average, "do all" robot (one that didn't specialize in any one task, like most winning robots in 2001) into a Championship caliper Robot.

I guess that goes to show how much of a difference stick time on the robot means.

P.S. Andy, your alliance toasted our 175/126/230 alliance with your auto-balance. So, I can't give all the credit to your drivers that year...
