Re: Favorite Robots at the Championship
121 is clearly hands down my favorite robot during the build season. We cant even count on our fingers how many team's robot designs were inspired or even outright duplicated from the Rhode Warriors.
254, 968, and 233 all had beautifully designed and machined masterpieces.
I still like 25's drivetrain. So robust and reliable.
1771 made me a believer that suction/vacuum designs can work.
1114 proved that the best design can also be the simplest one.
Comments on Einstein matches.
Newton had a great chance to win and I felt that both alliances were equally balanced when compared with Galileo. As a spectator from the stand, both alliances looked very impressive as expected. No offense to the other divisions, but I felt that the eventual winner would come from the Newton/Galileo winner.
The only chances I thought the other alliances had were maybe their hybrid and/or defense, especially from 348. Their defense proved effective minus those G22 penalties that really hurt them.
The one thing we learned in the elimination matches that proved effective even on Einstein from the matches we saw is that defense was the best role, IMO, from the 3rd bot. Even 148 stopped focusing on laps and played defense first.
