2004 All the way!

imho, that year was the culmination of all the best games in FIRST up to that point, and while in certain cases, a mash-up is bad, this resulted in a very dynamic game where scores were possible by teams in any state of robot construction, from the rookies who could only drive & herd balls, to the novices who wanted to tackle the challenge of climbing stairs, or manipulating balls of 2 different sizes!!!

Would I change our robot? Yes. If given the opportunity to have a "do-over" I would step up the challenge, and totally reinvent our bot. (Even though that was a lot of people's favorite 237 bot, and it was a strong contender for many reasons, including an undefeated record in NJ, I would strive to go for another challenge in the design process if given the chance to play that same game again.)
