This robot was absolutely amazing. A few things that aren't immediately obvious from the picture is that the robot can also hang and push the Atlas Ball out of the field. If I recall correctly they pushed the Atlas Ball out of the field twice during the elimination rounds; it was extremely helpful. They were nominated (but did not win) the Innovate award.

It wasn't just the robot that made their team so great. As soon as alliance selection was over their coach and our coach discussed game strategy. They had thoroughly thought out how to win the game and even had a diagram of the field with an erasable overhead projection sheet ontop so it could be drawn on. I wasn't on the drive team, but our drivers and coach said afterwards that they communicated extremely well during the competition. It was a pleasure competing with them; I'm still suprised no one picked them before us (we were fourth seed).
