FCS
Climber
Defense
Floor Pickup
Shooter-Climber
All Around

I would like to see everyone's opinion on these, and if possible, post links to videos for each robot.

Pure climber? Not many well-done pure climbers. And the ones there are usually didn't make it to champs

In my opinion, top few robots in a few categories in order (As a robot's primary function):
FCS: 148, 2169, 67, 195, 225, 2468, 2485, 1806,
Climber(Pure climber): 2170, 4451, uhhhhh....
Defense: 4814, 2789, 968
Floor Pickup: 1538, 2056, 33, 2415, 3539, 2054, 3476, 624
Shooter-Climber: 1114, 254, 3467, 1334, 1640, 1986(they should have climbed more)
All-Around: 469, 987, 118, 254, 1986, 1717, 1983

Just because they didn't make it to champs doesn't mean that they weren't any good!

We had a good year, and ended up one spot out of qualifying for St. Louis. You can see video of our climb on the Detroit Public Television website at:

If you click on the quarter finals video and go to 56:15 you can see our 30 point climb followed by 1918's 30 point climb.

We definitely weren't fast but we were really consistent. When we went for the top level, we made it 90% of the time and only took one fall in over 50 matches. Even though most brushed it off by week 6, it still turned out to be a game changer at the MSC when a climber could put up 74 points in a match.

Here's my opinions:
FCS-195
Climber-3467 (they shoot 4 cycles too, but their climber is amazing)
Defense-2789
Floor Pickup-2056
Shooter-Climber-1114
All Around-469
