Re: FIRST records

BrendanB,

You have a right to your opinion, but in my 10 years of FIRSTonly two robots come to mind with the word domination: 71 in 2001 and 1114 in 2008.

No one else was even close during the regular season. You can't make a judgment based on what you saw at IRI. I saw these guys all season and they dominated the field. On Galileo, they were unstoppable. Both 16 and 67 were against them in the finals on Einstein and we all know how that turned out. Pretty much any two robots from Galileo matched with 1114 would have made it out of that division. We called it the Simbot Lottery.

Paul
