Re: best looking robot


That's 1501's 2006 robot. It appears that JamesBrown and I share opinions on its style, as it's my personal favorite. Some other robots are well put together, some are well color-coordinated, but I haven't seen any others that are gold plated.

Re: best looking robot

Best-looking robot? Man, this is tough. In no particular order...

179's 2005 robot was great to see (unless you were against them, that is).

968's robot this year stood out, even before it drove the score up thirty points. Sure, you could argue 254, but I think the red looked better on the field.

33 in 2005 was the most solid-looking robot I saw all season. It just looks so substantial on the field, you wonder how they ever made weight.

233 in 2006 and 2005 need no introduction.

If I can think of more, I'll edit or repost.

968's is by far the best looking robot I have ever seen- period. Very open, very well organized, and yet relatively sparse and clean. I spent 5-10 minutes looking at it in Atlanta, but I wish I had more time.


#2 for pretty robot goes to HOT's 2006 robot. Very, very nice. I spent 20 minutes looking for the pic., can't find it, so does anyone have it available?

I've always been impressed with how 968 has looked;
2006 Practice Robot
2005
2005 & 2004 Gallery
I couldn't quickly find a picture from 2003, but I've seen several around here before and it looked awesome then too. I don't remember their 2002 robot, but I'm sure Travis covington can link it if he reads this.
