Which robot(s) did you like the best this year?

[MooreteP]

Not the best poll.
Important teams are missing: 1325, 2826. Why? (especially 2826)
How did you generate this list?

Also, the numbers are not sequential.

So I will add 246, Overclocked. Just plain weird and successful.

[Trevor1523]

1023 for reasons of having the ability to make 3 stacks of 6

233 for reasons of pink

33 because they had a great strategy this year, as well as a really amazing robot.

4488 because even though they are a 'rookie' team, they're still quite good.

[Anthony Galea]

My favorite to see this year was 246. I saw one match of theirs on Carson, and 254 was on the other side of the field, and even then, I was watching 246 because of how crazy that thing was.

Other favorites:

2826
1023
3683
1114
2056
4976
548
5188

It is a tragedy that 2826 wasn't on this poll.

A dozen others have mentioned Wave's 'bot in this thread -- add me to their fan list. If that machine is a garbage man's dream, then the garbage man is a total geek.

Besides the ones I picked from the menu, 548 and 2054 stand out in my personal (Michigan-centric) 2015 viewing memory; the former for consistency and speed, the latter for solo28auton and for being my team's alliance partner at Kentwood.

I enjoyed watching efficient landfill stacking, so 1114, 33, 987 caught my attention frequently.

I feel like 254 was the best landfill bot altogether this year. They didn't do it that much but it was very fast when they did... even sightly better than 1114

I definitely would vote 2826 as my top choice. The 28 point auto was one of the best strategies we came up with day 1 on our team and tried to perform ourselves. We quickly abandoned it during competition because we could not get an alliance to let it happen and we were very close on size to make it work. To see this idea on Einstein confirms that we knew we made the right choice in our strategy which drove our design (we could also hold 3 cans). I am just glad they found an alliance that would play that auto. The uniqueness of this robot was not to be missed with the curved track claw and the "All the things" mentality.

2826

Wave Robotics.

Best. Auto. Ever. Should be on the poll.

[Knufire]

Another +1 for 2826. Definitely my favorite robot of the year.

Yeah, what gives OP? Thanks to the fans for seeing through this! Guess we will just have to perform well at IRI for some respect from OP.

Edit: Where's our other Midwest brothers like 2481, 2338, and 3130? I feel like Rodney Dangerfield down here...

[MichaelMcQuinn]

I TOTALLY forgot about y'all! When I copied the list into here, it skipped y'all. I saw it but forgot to change it.

[Sperkowsky]

2826 hands down

[M1KRONAUT]

I loved 2826's 3-tote auto.

[Mike Marandola]

-1114, the Simbots always make my favorite looking robots and I guess they are pretty good too.
-254, they went from a top 10 robot to one of the top two. One of my favorite posts on CD is where Jared explains their process of making improvements between events. This is something that we will be focusing on in future years.
-148, I will never forget the first time I saw the reveal video. It was 4 am after an all night claw painting session and it gave me the energy I needed to finish before our 9 am meeting.
-3310, my favorite robot of the year and one of my top 3 of all time. It was mesmerizing.
