Teams I would like to recognize for excellent designs this year.

If 22 has been mentioned, they had virtually the same robot. The gripper was mildly different, mostly in size. Only problem was they were in Newton, along with 111 and 45 and a bunch of other good teams...

our gripper were a bit more than a little different plus we could hold two tetras at once

our autonomous as mentioned before was awesome when it worked we could cap two tetras but it only was effective on the practice field we noticed that the carpet was different on the playing field than on the practice field so it threw the robot off

i dont know if it was mentioned but i loved the simple but effectiev end effector on team 66 and their autom was bar none the best in my opinion (minus that interference in the semi finals at atlanta that broke their boom

Pshh... two tetras is nothing

Those were 100% designed and built by us.. we used turrets similar to those on the rear of our 2003 bot, but adapted them to be lighter/faster for last years.

They *ahem* worked pretty good!

While people hate people who toot their own horn,

our sytem was pretty good (we were #1 seed at 2 regionals)

Cheesy (254) poofs was also good, and refined a bit from the year before, and they had a good control panel, which makes a big difference.
