A lot of the best at X item will point to someone else as the best. Part of being the best is knowing that somebody out there is better.

And I think that 330 shouldn't be listed next to 1114 in 2008--1114 was simply much better.

Why debate whether one robot is better than another in a given season, even after it ends? 2008 is long over; 2009 is gone; we're approaching the 2010 season and a new "best robot", if such a thing is even possible. You've spent about 15-20 posts debating whether 1114 in 2008 was the best robot in that year. Shouldn't you be debating who's the best RCA contender in CT/your choice of regional instead? How about going out and inspiring a few younger students (aka recruiting)?

To get back on topic (and answer Chris's question from before this big discussion), 236 holds 7 RCAs (GSR, 3x New England, 3x CT), going back to the first year of the RCA. I don't think anyone else has gotten that many.

2056 was 5-for-5 on regional wins going into the 2009 Toronto regional--that's every regional they'd entered, they'd won. They are now 5-for-6 on regional wins.
