Re: Most Effective Robot EVER?
2169's 2013 robot seems really out of place in this poll. There are several 2013 robots that I would say were more dominant than 2169, certainly more flexible. 2169 was a good full court shooter, but they weren't THAT much better at it than any number of other full court shooters, and they obviously we're quite limited when forced to cycle. To be quite honest I don't understand why everyone is talking about them like they were some kind of game breaker.
The best 2013 robot was probably 469, who excelled at all aspects of the game except for full pyramid climbing. The flexibility of their driver being able to switch from full court shooting to cycling on the fly, sneaking off full court shots when undefended and cycling while defended, complete with floor pick up and multiple autonomous modes, made them probably the most dangerous robot at the Championship.

While FIRST's goal is to inspire young people, it will be much easier to do that if we also inspire all the older people as well. - E. Wood [more]
