Re: Best Robot of 2010

There is no argument for any team that is not 469. No team has ever had such a dramatic effect on the game this year than them. If you've ever seen 469 compete, especially at MSC, Curie, or IRI, you really just can't dispute it...

If you put any redirection bot aside, though, you can have a fun argument and discussion on the relative merits of great "overall" teams like 67, 33, 1718, 1519, 294, and 1625, but I feel 1114 was a cut above the rest in all aspects of the game.

If you break it down by zone and role it gets more interesting. Some robots were pretty good overall but GREAT in the front. 359, 910, and 971 are the immediate first choices there. The backbot was a role I felt that teams that really excelled at had the most competitive success this year, as it was a role a lot of teams were willing to give up or throw their second pick at but was a lot more important than many alliances thought at selection time. 294 is the superstar here, plus 3138, 217 / 148, and 33.
