Which one? The one you faced in Newton or the one you were with in Curie?

(Strange but true: In 2005, teams 67 and 330 faced team 910 in the Newton finals. In 2007, Curie finals, same three teams, but it's 910 and 330 versus 67... To make matters even wierder, 330's 2007 robot borrows very heavily from their 2005 robot.)

And to answer the original question...Any robot that beats us convincingly or is just plain WOW! (968 '06 comes to mind immediately, as does 60 '02.)
