Re: Best of the Best
469 on its own isn't necessarily a dominating robot. That being said however, I see 469 having the best chance of winning the world championship this year due to the fact that they can take any alliance with a powerful offensive robot and turn it into a juggernaut.
217 has designed yet another highly competitive robot (and one cannot talk about 217 without talking about 148), but I wouldn't say they're the best robot out there until we see other teams compete (such as 254, 968, and 971) in the week 3 regionals. The same goes for 1114.
In my opinion, 230 isn't in the same realm as the teams I've mentioned above. They've got a very consistent robot that performs well in every match, but they don't have the scoring capability of 217, 1114, 148, 67, or 469. We also must consider the level of competition at each team's respective regional events, and I believe that WPI did not have as deep a field of competition as some of the other regional events.
