Re: 2009 Drivers

This is a lot trickier to say than "the best robot" because some good drivers had less than top-caliber robots to drive. I can really only go off of what I saw in Newton and 10,000 Lakes. A good driver and a bad driver decides matches, and good robots can fall to bad driving, so basically any team that did well probably had good drivers all around.

1625 had an amazing, smart drive team. As if their robot needed the help ! Just some of the mind games they played continue to impress me as I watch all of their replays.

2836's robot was decent, but their drivers really set it apart as far as Newton defense goes. It never let up when playing defense, and the drivers multiple times outpredicted the robot they were trying to harass and just stayed locked onto them. I can say similar things about team 1629 (though they had the benefit of scoring more).

2470 didn't do so well in Atlanta but be sure to check them out once the 10,000 Lakes videos make TBA. 1714 and 2826 wouldn't have won without them, and they did set up nice screens for the alliance. 2826 and us did countless sandwich dumps, and they're pretty smart too, except for that time they accidentally dumped on us :/

I'm really proud of our drive team too ^_^
