Best Stacker

[Pin Man]

From the ones i saw (and I didn't see many) I'd have to go with 213...

I always liked our stacker cause of the moving stacker and all, but there are 2 others that were easily the best.

236....pure speed and amazing stacking abilities I spent an hour or so with their coach on saturday of Nats, and we went through tape of their stacking mechanism, it was darn cool. And their robot doubled up as an awesome sweeper. This robot was very overlooked.

But.... if you wanted to go with a high stack, it HAD to be team 67. They made stacks so quickly and effortlessly, it was amazing. At West Michigan there was one team that said that their entire strategy was to try to tip this bot from the side, but the drivers were so awesome that they never let anyone hit them from the side, they really knew the capabilities of their robot inside and out. That anti-flip / wedge / box orienter was really cool too.

I think that they were one of the most feared. I know I was watching them every time I could get a chance. I have even watched some of the videos from their matches. I still consider them more of a stack stealer then a stack builder. I always found it amusing when a stack was stolen by another team, and to see it used against the team that built it. Just another fun thing to see happen. Once again... Good Job to team 67.

I'm from team 67 and i just wanted to say thank you to all of the teams that have said such sweet things about us. Y'all are so nice!!! I loved a lot of the other bots, especially some of the other stackers. Probably my favorite was the team that made that HUGE stack at nationals. I think it was #1114, but I'm not sure. Anyways, whoever it was had a sweet bot, and all of the bots I saw this year had at least one really cool feature.

We spent about 1 min in a practice round making a stack of 2. Now that's an accomplishment for our machine...maybe i can find a picture of it somewhere.

I didn't get a chance to see that. If you have a pic or vid. clip, I would love to see it. An 8 stack is pretty impressive.

please excuse my teammate he missunderstood that by best stacker was ment my a robot not by a human player but, our human player can do a 8 stack he has does it 8-10 times and we even did a nine stack at PA

I would have to concur with many of the other posters here, and give some props to 1114. Not only could they stack well, but their strategizing abilities before each match was good too. They made excellent partners in the elims at Pitt, and on behalf of my team, I would like to not only thank them for that, but also congratulate them again on their Rookie All-Star award there. I see this team as having a great future in FIRST.

Ride Sally, Ride!

Someone mentioned 212 a little bit ago.. thnx for the recognition but umm.. we werent stackers! hehe.. we were UCF regional winners though.. (0:` hehe

*ash*

Maybe not the best, but we had not one major mechanical failure during a match. Im disappointed we didnt get a industrial design award... if we broke, you could bet there was at least one of our opponents suffering a similar fate.

I'll get a video of us protecting a stack up tomarrow sometime.
