Here are my top 10 robots who made an impression on my team and I.


10)310 - I think this is the team number, a team from Ford. Sat on the ramp, and their arm could reach all the way across the trough, about 12 feet minimum. I absolutlely loved this robot. They could defend trough's with the best of them.

9)1- Something about them, they always managed to make it to the finals, or make it far.

8)349- Great hanging, amazing speed, even when they were restricted on hanging at nationals, they were able to work around it.

7)Spam Bot- Hey what can i say, they gave us a strong battle for the ramp. A great defensive powerful robot.

6)47- What can I say, veterans, always kept people wondering if they could hang or not. I am reminded of Great Lakes quarter finals, they had the field to themselves, and pulled each ball out of the opposing trough.

5)33- Killer Bees-Powerful robot, i loved the two speed on the fly mechanism, awesome robot. A looker as well.

4)360 - Quick 6 wheeled robot, could hang with the best of them, a great ally, a great team.

3)308 - Robostars- Single ball picker, but perfect defense, probably one of my favorite teams out there.

2)68 - HOT Team - Awesome speed, awesome power, i would not want to mess with a team who tests the strength of their bot by running it full speed in to metal beams.

1)111 - Wildstang - I mean come on, 10 ball capacity, a complex, yet consistant robot. I was just glad we didn't have to go up against them, I dont know how Cornelius would have handled them. Just my favorite robot.
