Best 2010 Lifter

[nikeairmancurry]

From watching on webcasts on Friday and watching the Kettering district regional live, I have come up with a good list of lifters that were consistant, yet quick.

78- I do agree with the previous post, they have a very effective hanger and it's easy to pull off.

525- watching the KC regional was exciting, but when these guys played you waited for the last 20 secs to come. They sit right on the bump and take hold on the top bar, and there off. Most times to make the full lift I took about 10-12 secs. The only problem is they have to get on the bump, I forsee teams trying to push them off or try to block the bump in the future.

2337- The enginerds always have something out of the box on there robot, since there rookie year. This year they have the coolest looking chin-up robot I've seen. They have a huge system that sits on top of the base and it kicks up after they set-up under the bar. It's vey effective, as if only of the two hooks grabs hold it stills gets two points for there alliance. I believe in the 8 matches I watched them play on Saturday, they hung for 2 points 7 times.

27/33-My favorite two hangers are very similar and twice they hung in the same match making it very fun to watch. The easiest way to describe these lifters is to say that, they are close to the likes of what 217/148 had. Both lighting quick and sometimes both lifted up, in under 10 secs. Yet the bees (33) took it one step further by having message written on the bottom of the robot for the crowd to see after they hung themselves. Whether it being "Bee happy!" or "Finals baby!" both these robots have almost perfected the art and probably will continue to do it every match.
