Yes actually I thought about them after posting, and they're definitely on my list as well. Actually during a summer design workshop our team ran last summer the leaders decided to have everyone design for overdrive, and their style shooter is what me and my friend came up with. They are undoubtedly on my list as well.

1678 — I went over to their pit to ask about their robot (and convince some rookies that other teams don't bite ) and the way they managed to fit their catapult into such a small space and have a whole variety of shots amazed me. The sheer amount of engineering in such a small space, really. You can't really see any of the catapult from far away, but in my opinion it's the best part of their robot. The double intakes are pretty sweet as well, though.

Don't forget 25! What a fun machine to watch on the field!

Our assistant/drive coach has been disappointed in the inconsistency of our shot during the season and kept announcing "we have the WORST catapult in California!"

Thanks for the compliment.

33 is my favorite, partially because their robot is amazing, and partially because they had the guts and ability to pull of an all omni wheel drive train. 118, 148 and 67 all follow very closely.

...and thanks for mentioning 180 here. This season was another wild ride for us. Max, your practice 'bot scrimmages with us, played an important role in our successes.

Thanks for the shout-out. That's what we were going for... the BEST HAMMER! How could you not like that?
