Your favorite robot of all time?

Title says it all. Public poll to see what your personal favorite FRC robot has been, from any year and any team; not necessarily the best or most functional!

My personal favorite: Team 195's 2013 robot, Oddjob
Year after year, the Cyberknights roll out stellar robots in six weeks, but Oddjob is special. Its fullcourt shooting through the Ultimate Ascent season was virtually unrivaled at the regional level, and still outclassed its opponents at championships. In addition, its high COG and "whaletail" made for some suspenseful and interesting moments on the field. The crossfielding was incredible to watch at the final Connecticut regional, which only made Ultimate Ascent's reputation as one of the best challenges FIRST has created stronger.

What's stuck out for you over the years?

2826 2015. A great example of strategic design, and the success that comes when it's implemented correctly.

Re: Your favorite robot of all time?

Favorite robots by year:

2009: 1625 - no seriously, 67 and 111 got all the hype at the end for winning worlds but without question 1625 was the best scorer of 2009. They put more balls in the goal than anyone else, they dumped faster than anyone else, they were quick, had great floor pickup, the whole package.

2010: 469, 1114

2011: 254, 1538, 1503

2012: 341, 16, 2826, 67

2013: 469, 67, 1114, 3467

2014: 254, 4039, 469

2015: 1114, 148, 118

2016: 195, 1058, 330, 125, 254

I'm sure I'm forgetting several and will come back to edit
