Re: Your Best Robot

From what I have seen, 166's best robot to date came from 2003.

This robot was one of few to use a two-speed transmission. Once the team got autonomous working it flew right to the wall of boxes and beat almost everyone to the top. The two speed transmission made it easy to push many boxes up and over the ramp. (~10 at a time IIRC) It was then able to hold it's own on the top of the ramp.

It didn't do too well during the official season, however it won almost all of the off season competitions it attended, including Battlecry 4.

Edit: I forgot to mention a few things. Although the team won most of the matches, they ranked lower than they should (mid-teens) because of the way ranking was done. 2x opponent's score + own score. That robot was almost too good. It often won matches with scores like 90 (in this year, 90 was quite significant, to 3 or so.

Yep.
