Yeah, 2000 was technically a flopper too, but we only did that in a handfull of matches, where the 04 and 05 bots had to flop to start.

There haven't been too many flopper bots in the game, but I know of two of them that were on national championship aliances. Ours in '05, and Beatty's in... I believe that was '03. You know the one that grabbed all 3 goals and then used file cards on it's slow march across the field.

Right game wrong year. Beatty was in '01

Edit: wrong again, it was 02, thanks guys. I should know this, too, I've watched those videos waaaay too many times

Right game, wrong year as well. Their flopbot was 2002, the year of Zone Zeal. (Partial credit, however; Beatty did also win the Championship in 2001, just not with a flopbot.)
