Best robots at Nationals

[Kit Gerhart]

Team 45's ball collector had to be one of the best at the championship, and their 2x ball gripper is nearly impossible to "steal" balls from if they are centered in the gripper. They, and their partners came very close to winning Archimedes, and if they had, they would have been the favorites for winning the whole thing.

NEWTON-
After lookin at all the robots in the newton division, i would have to say that you cant just pick one great bot. ireally loved 67- outstanding is the only way to describe them, 1126- they were great at hanging constinently, 340- the rope amd pully system they to get on the bar was awesome, 303- the perfect none hanging bot- they capped so easily and gathered balls like it was nothing. i hope to see 67,1126, and 340 at cleveland again next year and maybe work with you guys. 303 good luck at ur regionals. good luck to all teams and have a relaxing off season.

Though I may be a bit partial, I believe that 45 had the best offensive robot at Nationals. Our first three and fifth qualification match scores were 180, 190, 200, and 210, respectively. This was only with the help of a hanger. Also, we scored the highest score ever, 230, during the third semifinal round.

The best defensive robot out there was definitely 494, they made some very smart moves during elims and this led to their winning the event. Watch final match 3 on Archimedes, the best defensive bot vs. the best offensive bot. A great match, after which the final score was determined by the referees not counting the 2x because it was touching our claw. Too bad for us, great for 494. Great job guys. Your bot has tons of speed and your driver is great at manuvering it from 40+feet away.
