Favorite Robots at the Championship

[Rick TYler]

I know this is an FRC-centric thread, but the most thoroughly thought-out and executed robot at Atlanta may have been FTC 74. Among other things, this three-regional winner could pick up rings from the floor using a conveyor belt, and then flip the opposition's rings into a storage basket and their own onto a goal. This deprived their opponents of rings to score, while racking up a near-certain 45 points a match in a game usually won with a score of 45-70 points. Just freaking awesome. There were plenty of other great FTC 'bots in Atlanta, but 74 stood out for their ability to eat their opponents' rings using the same mechanism that they used to score their own. Very, very nice.
