Sadly we are not, as of right now going to nats !

All the choices are great but I picked 501. It was a little bouncy but the drivers got the hang of it after the practice day, and after that it was unstoppable. I also picked 501 because their hook was the best one there.... I tried to count seconds from when they were on the top platform. One time they totally missed the bar, but it still took them only 7 seconds to get off the ground! crazy stuff...... I like the design of 69's hook, but 501 wins because of speed.

Hyper, I want to marry your robot. That machine was fantastic. If the hook was improved a bit, it would be unstoppable.

the hook was fine, it was meant to hook once, and in many of their matches they hooked


I think 190 was the best robot there...functionality, didnt do so great, but amazing machine and im glad we were there with you

NO WAY.

Why not?

It's hard to say who was the best. 501 definitely dominated every match that they were in, and 69 had a wonderful bot. But there were also great designs from teams such as the Duct Tape Bandits or (I think it is) Team 50 with an all wooden bot that has 7 different autonomous modes.

Hyper so gets my vote. Some people on my team decided we were going to each bet a quarter on whatever team we liked, and whoever won got all the quarters. I saw Hyper in their first practice round on Thursday and immediately put my money on them. That robot was not only awesome at doing what it did, but wow... it looked good too. Very awesome.

The Powerknights were good, but it was the bounciness that I didn't like, they seemed to have some problems getting up the step. And CHAOS was good, but not eye-popping like Hyper.



Why in the world aren't you guys going to Nationals??? You could get to the finals there, for goodness sake.

[Rpifirst]

I really have to go with team 69 hyper. Watching you guys in the finals was awsome. That last match you guys had was really awsome. I however want to say that 121's big ball collecter was a great idea and was really thinking out of the box. Oh and 69 hope to see you at battlecry.

inform us please!!! we would love to see you there...

I'll be honest, I dont think this is the best of threads...I think its good to discuss robots there, but to have a polling, you need all the teams on the list to be absolutley fair (or at least all the teams in the finals).

[Paradox1350]

Hmm, well, in my mind, certain designs stand out for being more unique than others. Ours wasn't exceptionally innovative. I mean, it was designed by us, but it was a standard 4-wheel drive, 12.5 pneumatic wheels, roller on front to plow, telescopic arm to grab bar. Ours wasn't a copy of anyone else, but I don't know that it would stand out in anyone's mind. Can anyone here picture it without going back and looking at a picture somewhere? The bots that really stood out would be 501, 69, 121, 50 (again, I THINK it's 50. It's the all wooden bot with 7 autonomous modes) 190, and 1058. They had the most unique and different designs.

as for why 69 isn't going as of yet. well, early on in the season, we had to make a choice. either hope that we do good and get to nationals, and go to those. or do 2 regionals, with one of them being in a place that would be good to travel to. so, after a vote, we decided on 2 regionals, and we will be attending the southern californina regional in LA soon.

but because of money and other factors, right now, we are not going to atlanta, but we can always hope for the best, now can't we?

Look i love 69's robot design and how the worked , but the team that was best in show, consistant and fast was 501 ..There wasent one match i saw that they made a mistake ....So hats off to 501 and 69 for putting on a good show......two thumbs up here..
