I think 5136 and 4242 got MCC perfect this year. 4242 was even a captain in DC.

Both of them look like amazing robots, but I would probably give a slight advantage to 5136 (more on this below), because 4242 looks like they could get an accidental possession with their completely open inbounder.

5136 was one of my favorite robots this year, probably number 5 in my personal list (Admittedly there may be some bias from CVR). A pure inbounder, with good defense, AND a goalie pole?!?!? They were the part that really scared me about the Newton alliance, because that was their BACKUP, and with some shuffling, could have replaced any of those robots and still have a scary alliance.
