with less explanation than my volleyball and robo-drivin' partner andy had to say

10. The 'Wedge' bots - i'm a girl who eyes defense.. those bots were sweet.. and nothing beats the attitude those awesome SPAM people were always displaying.. rock on..

9. 312 - Baxter Tampa Bay - hey, i watched these guys in awe over the internet broadcast of the KSC regional.. it was a sweet bot with a lot to offer..

8. The other Baxter 16 - the BOMB as always

7. 157 - Assabet... the team from across town always does us proud.. although i'm tempted to say they can't top their robot from last year.. the '00 bot was also a work of art (and tough bot)

6. 177 - ..those cat like reflexes :-).. i loved the way these guys hung..

5. 126 - i must say.. the venture from the 'box' robot worked for them this year.. it was sleek..

4. 131 - quick and efficient.. although i've never been a fan of 'one by one' pickup robots, this guys executed their moves sweetly and could beat most 'multi-ball' scoring robots.. gotta hand it to them..

3. 111 - wildstang.. you make my heart sing..

2. 175 - every reason to smile.. love the team, love the sportsmanship and constant friendly attitude.. loooooove the bot.. quick, efficient, sturdy, awesome..

1. 47 - you guys put me in awe every year.. smooth moves, quickness, efficiency.. it's all there- you guys have got it down.. unfortunately, that makes you often a 'target' of play, but you guys always stick it through, do well, and impress me once again - keep up the great work in all aspects of FIRST

;-) 'course my own teams 'bot hold spot '0' on the top ten list.. it -almost- works again.. just took us a little more than 2 weeks to get the hang of this 2-speed tranny thing.. but any team that can (and has with witnesses) push and/or pull over 1000 pounds has to hold some spot.. so 246 gets that :-) hehe

keep the faith
