2992 - I didn't see their robot but for some reason this team stood out to me. I think I recall reading several posts by members that show they get FIRST. (And I think your students were confused when I started asking about your robot in scholarship row)

My fellow mentor and I have been on Chief Delphi quite a bit over the last few weeks doing our best to contribute to the community. We've learned quite a bit over the last few weeks, and have really enjoyed chatting with members in the community. As for our robot, if you saw a ginormous fire engine red robot then you probably saw our robot. I don't recall any other's as tall and bright. :-)

The robots that stood out to me are the standard:

1114 as the awesome scorer and hanger

469 as the perfect rendition of what we were trying to do

but also robots like 2337, which I was looking out for since they were also known to be a deflector/looper bot.

Ever since last year at the Bayou, I've always kept an eye out for Cryptonite which had a pretty good robot.

I visited many of the pits during our time in Atlanta but I honestly have a hard time remembering many of the robot teams. Atlanta is always overload for me and so I can't remember the numbers and teams as well as I should. Needless to say I leave the scouting and all to the students. :-)

I had a coworker/friend who volunteered on Archimedes and I heard over and over again that 33 was a really good robot.

I also remember 888's robot mostly because our Bayou alliance partner was brought in as the backup robot for their alliance. I also remember this because it put us as the next backup robot. :-)

Overall there are so many awesome robots at Atlanta that you could almost keep listing them indefinitely. The fields are just so deep with goodness.
