who is the best capper in this game????

[Michael Leicht]

it is buging me i want to know what team can cap better then anyone esle i know hanging is so great but why hang when you can cap your way to being a winner. all i just want to know is what team has the best capper? (not saying this because i am the person that controls the capper for our robot and does great )

45 is probably one of the best ive seen.

[AmyPrib]

1272 was pretty slick with that mobile goal capping, pretty darn consistent.

[Karthik]

Teams 60 and 254 were by far the best cappers I saw all season long. They made it look easy.

To be honest, 60 dropped the 2X ball more often than they would probably care to drop it. =/

60 was an incredible hanging robot though.

I liked 107 - great performance in Grand Rapids.

[Tyler Olds]

980 had a great capper, they could get the ball fully in their control durring autonamous, which almost guarentees a cap in a match.

486 is the best we faced up against. They grabbed and lifted the ball during auton, as well as attached to the goal. They didn't drop the ball as easily as other teams. I was very impressed when we faced up against them in the quarterfinals. Those were probably the most intense matches on the Newton field. Great job 486! Best overall is hard to determine, but I have to say 71 did a great job when capping the goal, they were able to push the ball way too far into the goal for any bot to get it out.

to me, the best capper would be the fastest and most efficient..

I gotta put my vote in for 303 and 358. Both teams had virtually the same capper and it was blazingly fast- just a pneumatic arm with a simple up-down chain... both teams often did it on the run- in my opinion 45 and others had a awesome robot, but their capping mechanism wasn't great- it oftentimes took too long to set up and grip.. (not to take anythng away from those teams, 45 is my favorite overall robot and y'all know how good they are, but this is about the best capper)

also- i loved 60 and 254's tri-prong claws, as did I with 469's four-pronger.

Besides my team , i'm gonna go with the Technokats. With that long arm able to cap over 93..that was awesome!!

I don't want to say my team, but I feel obligated to. 1023's robot. We capped EVERY round at Detroit, multiple times on some occasions. The only time we did not is when our moter burned out in the semifinals. In one match we accidently pooped a ball, grabbed another tp cap the mobile goal, then proceded to cap the stationary goal, all with time to spare. I believe our capper was exceptional and we were really dissapointed to not go on to nationals. There is always next year tho!

Yea, we used a suction cup too, it worked great. We only used it to secure the ball so you couldn't pull the ball off our tooling.
