I particularly liked team 111's wheels and their modular approach to the drive systems (my bet is you will see some copy's, on our robot next year)

Team 45 - using magic David Copperfield would drool over really cool - Awesome goal grabber also

Team 47 - where do I start, I wish our students can get excited enough to start getting that advanced

Hot Bot so compact and powerful, and fast - they also had pneumatic gearshifting if you look close, B.T.W. thanks for your your help with our gripping mechanism, we never got it working but you guys showed us the errors in the design

Team 177 - that robot gave 200% all the time

The green miracle workers with the bars that came out the sides, nice, never even thought of it

Team 308 - Wow

The beast with the perfect motion of putting the ball on the goal it is towing, designed perfection

There was a robot G-Force that had balancing arms that came down to the floor but it wasn't at Nationals. We tried to do the same thing but they executed it 10 times better

For a beautiful looking robot, I liked a diamler chrysler (warren stamping plant) had stained wood, gold anaodized aluminum, tank drive and auto steering, CNC plexiglas gears, a turret. Someone created a masterpiece

Ohh well maybe next year
