I have to vote for 1997 Team Hammond (now 71, can't remember their number back then). How they rank compared to all time is hard to say since ever year is a different game and many other factors, but no drive team has ever out-classed the competition like they did that year.

It was 1997 that made the rest of FIRST realize that you can double your robot's productivity by having a finely tuned drive team, and this was all thanks to the way Beatty/Hammond looked like a smooth, well oiled machine and no one else came close.
