Most obsessed

[Mr. Lim]

Can I nominate someone other than myself?

I don't know if I'd called it "obsessed," but definitely crazy, insane, dedicated, and ballsy.

Team 1241 - Theory6 was part of the winning alliance at Waterloo. As the elimination rounds progressed, their role became a 100% defensive one. Problem was, they were actually an offensive robot - decent arm, and they could score tetras. It's just that they had an incredibly powerful drivetrain, which rocked at playing defense, and the alliance had decided playing defense was the best way to help the alliance.

So they converted their machine into a defensive juggernaut.

Their arm was just asking to be damaged while playing defense, plus it was a tipping hazard for both themselves, and any robots they wanted to push.

So they took it off... but I don't mean they unbolted their arm and removed it from the chassis. Their arm was WELDED to the chassis. THEY CUT THEIR ARM CLEAN OFF!!!

Come on people! These guys KNEW they were competing again in FIVE days at the GTR, and they fully expect to re-weld the arm on there, but geez. I would have a heart attack if anyone took a saw to our robot, and hacked off the top 4 feet of it...

WOW... just WOW.

FYI, this was no chump-change arm either. This is arguably one of the nicest arms in all of FIRST.
