Re: Best Robot of 2010

230 has some well polished code, and a reliable hanging mechanism, but they can be pushed around far too easily, I think, to be considered the best. However, their ability to shoot from any of the 3 zones will make them a good robot to ally with because they can score well when unobstructed.

Obviously, 469 comes to mind, but not only because of their ability to play "god bot", but also because they can be successful playing Breakaway by driving and kicking like other robots. They don't dominate at this like they do with the god bot strategy, but their ability to play both ways will make them versatile and useful.

1114's kicker is fast and consistent, as is their hanger. They also don't get pushed easily, and shoot well from the mid zone. They cross bumps very well too, and they could easily overload the home zone from the mid, and then cross over to help score.

217 has proven to be agile and fast when it comes to scoring, but this doesn't make them stand out, because many other teams are working toward their level of speed and consistency, especially in the home zone, where 217 likes to play (from what I've seen).


So as of now, my list is 217, 1114, 469, and 230.
