2006 Robot Awards-CD Style

[JackN]

Please come up with a list of goofy/random awards for robots you saw.

Pure Ramp Camper of the Year
Nominees-703, 222, 365
Winner-365
MOE was killer on the ramp. If they got up there you lost the match. 703 was defended well against. 222 made a great case but MOE was just so cool when they loaded their shooter. I didn't list 254/968 here because they did more than shoot on the ramp.

Shooter of the Year
Nominees-111, triplets, 217, 25, 1625, 85, 1126
Winner-TIE 111-25
These two were unbeilivble. Wildstang built the most unbeilivble robot. It's pickup was exceptional. Raider Robotix was also extremly strong. It dominated shooting as well. The triplets were strong but got stoped, 1625 was an excellent sophmore bot, Sparx built an excellent bot, BOB was similar to 111, and 217 had a cool design

Dumper of the year
Nominees-322, 1504, 716, 1547, 963
Winner-322
This was almost a no contest. The FIRE team had a robot that just flat out blew away the rest of these. It picked up well along with dumping extremly well. It FLEW across the field. 1504 1547 had excellent sophmore bots, 963 was a great dumper and 716 dumped well.

Rookie bot of the year-1714, 1781, 1731, 1816, 1902, 1918
Winner-1731
What an amazing rookie robot. Number 1 at the largest regional, that is impressive. They were an exceptional shooter. 1714 was strong at Buckeye and Wisconsin, ranking high at both. They shot well. 1781 and 1816 were good defenders, especially 1816 who ranked 6 on archimidies. Exploding Bacon was a good bot doing well at two regionals. 1918 was our mentees and they had a great design

Biggest mistake
Not picking 201 at Western Michigan. I mean they were one of the top ten scorers and they went un-picked. Im glad they got picked at the Championship. They had an excellent bot and to pass them is unbelivible.

Best Collaboration-254/968, Martian Twins, Triplets
Winner-3 way tie
Ok I think any way you look at it they are all pretty even. The Martian Twins won the most design awards, 254/968 were the only ones to make it to Einstein and won every regional they were in, and what can be said about the Triplets that hasn't already been said.
