[FTC]: Cool Robots in Atlanta.
Now that Atlanta is done. I think it is time that we recognize the teams that had really cool robots. Any cool designs, out of the box thinking, just something that nobody else had. Even if their design didn't get them to the finals or work perfectly 100% of the time.
Here are mine. (I was on Franklin so I didn't get to see a lot of Edison bots)
Of course Power Surge needs to applauded. They had an amazing design. Their alliance with team 121 was pure bliss. I was devastated when they lost. Unfortunately, their robot was posted on the FTC blog, then copied by multiple teams. I guess imitation is the best form of flattery.
Burnin' Rubber 2842 had a completely original design. It was the only robot I saw that was able to pick pucks out of the middle goal.
Sorry I forgot these team numbers, hopefully someone can correct them.
There was another team that I'm not sure the number but there bucket was mounted so it could rotate 360 degrees. If it were blocked it could rotate and score from any angle.
Another team that I forget the number but when they picked out the pucks the had a cay that picked up the rack from the outside and had a wrist like design that could rotate in all angles.
