1625 was the best robot at the competition, its amazing how far simplicity can get you. 1625 robot was just a pure simple dumper, you can tell they spent a long time perfecting their dumping mechanism when they got in position and unleashed on a goal it was scary how quickly they filled up a goal. 1625 continues to impress everyone in FIRST, with their Chairman's award they are convincing everyone that they are a special team.

watching both 1114 and 217 at midwest, there is a ton of untapped potential in both of those robots. I expect with a couple more regionals and some programing time with their practice bots both of these teams are going to be scary good come Atlanta.
