Re: Favorite Robots at the Championship
I've got a little bias here, but I'm gonna say that Two-minute Warning from Team 16 (The Bomb Squad) was a great robot. Since it was a "flop-bot", the robot had a long, very stable wheel base. The "floppy accumulator" readily pulled the Trackball onto the catapult and secured it until it was time to shoot. Their three-wheel swerve drive was fast and maneuverable. At the start for hybrid mode, a CMU camera looked at an LED panel (red/green/blue) held by the Robocoach. Overall, it was a very fine machine and it took Bomb Squad all the way to the final matches on Saturday.
