Highest Score?

Unfortunately no... The only way they could have made it to Atlanta would be for them to have won the Champions Award. The Flying Geeks concentrated their efforts on robot performance this year and not on a research project. Winning the Champions Award requires excellence in all aspects of the competition. But still, their perfect scores were simply AMAZING!

I didn't see the match or anything, but that's what I was told.

Edit: Today in the Newspaper, there was an article about the team "The Flying Geeks" who performed a perfect score 3 times all one one program. They'd press the button once, and watch it go to work.

Oh wow.
With an RCX too.
Wonder what would they have done with the NXT? Had it build it's own parts?
Amazing.

I heard that a team tried that with an RCX out here. Didn't work too well on the field, partly due to a hugely complex robot and no aiming jig. (The winners in Performance used a jig and 3 combo programs--one for the molecular motor, self-alignment, and atom table, one for the buckyball and nanotip, and one for the pizza and space elevator.)
