Hello, I can have some teams for some of those awards plus a few of my own here...

Fastest Robot - team 40 Trinity High School, they redefined break neck speed.

Best Offensive - Tie with team 111 and 126, Wild Stang and Gael Force, both robots were very similar and picked up and scored mad points every round.

Best Defensive - team 246, NSTAR and BU, it didn't do a ton, but it could push a ton, scared me enough to have our partner concentrate on keeping them away from us in a round so we could score (even then it was barely enough) also the only team to zero Delphi in Jersey, impressive.

Most Versatile - Team 102, Ortho and Somerville, they could load at the human and score 8 balls at a time, pick up from the groud fairly fast, hang, and steal balls, ok so they didn't go under the bar, oh well, they didn't need to go to the other side of the field, they were such a force of a human loader.

Coolest Robot - Team 25, Bristol Meyers, everyone who knows me knows how much I love those little claw games where you try to pick out the stuffed animals. I would have a field day if i had a chance to play with that robot!

Most Respected Robot - Team 47, Delphi and Pontiac Central, lets face it, this robot earned the respect of everyone out there in practice rounds alone, so versatile and so effective.

Most Dangerous Robot - Team 131, Osram and Central, its was amazingly tough to have to keep an eye on them in qualification rounds as well as elims. When they were on the field, no points were secure.

Most Underestimated - Team 293, Morehouse and Hopewell, 2 regional wins is no fluke, im still baffeled to this day to why they weren't picked in the nationals.

Sponsor of the year - NASA, it was the year of the NASA team, 2 national champions, and many quality robots
