I just thought i'd list off a few robots that stood out in my mind:

First of all:

Team #71... amazing balancing ability.. they did it quickly and efficiently almost every time from off the ramp.

Team #111 - i love the ramp, it was an amazing sight to watch your bot from just a few feet away fold out into a complete ramp.

Team #175 - Who else would set up a complete machine shop in their pit? BUZZ..

Team #45 - The autobalance that worked every time.. almost killed me in the finals on galileo to see how easily you guys balanced.

Team #38 - Drivers... wow, they balanced almost as efficiently as 45, but they did not use a program to do it. Drivers are definitely key. Also, if you have time sometime, check out their goal grabber mechanism... very nice design.

This is all i can think of off hand...

What does everyone else think??
