: I simply can't rate the 10 best robots. . .

I agree with Mr. Ridley that rating the ten best is an overwhelming task.

My personal favorite was 111 Wildstang. I was impressed from the first web photo I saw and my respect both machine and team continued to grow as I saw it perform. Overall, it was a wonderful combination of aesthetics, functionality and performance.

I also would like to add a fourth question to Andy's (very flattering) Bobcat analysis... Why didn't that thing fall apart? I still get cold sweats when I think about the shock load stresses that the arm joints must have seen during the competitions!
