I simply can't rate the 10 best robots. . . well I could but that would take way too much thought. I have however thought about my personal favorite robot of the year. Actually two robots changed places in my mind for number one over the season. Chief Delphi was one of those robots. Obvioulsy excellent engineering and an amazing machine. But my definite favorite robot of the year has to be Team 1, 3D Services and OTC NE, the Juggernauts. This robot was built so well, and it performed great in every competition. It almost tore the goal apart at the Indiana regional and in West Michigan it succesfully defended 2 robots at one time while thier alliance (OSMTech, Team 27) went on to score with the field to themselves. It was amazing to look at thier robot and see how simple it was, while being unbelievably robust and powerful. I simply can't believe they were not picked at Nationals. I see many teams that could have probably taken nationals if they would have gone with the Juggernauts. I guess somehow many people overlooked this amazingly versitle, strong machine. I loved watching them play and I was never disapointed in thier performance. They hold the top spot in my mind for this years competition, an awsome machine.
