Top 10 Robots

[Huskie65]

Who do you think were the top ten robots this year

[Jeff Waegelin]

Well, I'd be pretty arrogant if I put my own team on the list, even if I do happen to like my own 'bot.... so how about we say the top ten, excluding your own team?

So, in no particular order:

111, 47, 469, 302, 27, 65, 16, 45, 217, 25

[Vu2000]

I didn't go but i did go to AZ and So Cal, and watched the nationals, I think

111
25
292
68
47
45
60
968, even though they didn't even go to nationals

No one mentioned 192 254 258 359 831 or 330 they each did pretty well... and I must say I was more than impressed by team 814 spicey mustard, even thought they looked like a rolling couch.

I can identify all except 258 and 831 as West Coast teams. I don't recall where they are from. Maybe that has something to do with their absence from other lists? Everyone doesn't get around the way you do Carolyn.

BTW 814 was one of my favorites as well. If the riobot didn't burn you the fabric would.

Again, in no particular order...

254
1114

I'm sure there are teams that I've overlooked, but that is the nature of this type of list.

And i don't remember some other numbers...

[Mike Martus]

With the quality of bots this year this should be expanded to the top 25, afterall there were 800+ bots.

Missing from the great ones above are many great bots not at the Championship due to their number or lack of $$$.

Lets give credit to soem of the ones that were great at regionals but could not make the championship.

[Pin Man]

My favorite robot out of the top ten would have to be 25...

[Randi267]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Heatwave, team 312. Their autonomous mode can not be compared to any other teams (except for maybe Wildstang who was able to usually take out a stack or two before getting on the ramp). 312 was able to take out an entire wall within seconds and it worked pretty consistently. I also was very impressed with Metal in Motion (343) with their overall performance. Good job to everyone!

[OZ_341]

All of the robots mentioned are great, but Hey!

What about Miss Daisy? (Galileo Champ)

Simple, efficient, 100% Reliable Auton Mode (Student Written GYRO CODE) and most importantly 100% STUDENT DESIGNED & BUILT!!

(we lost our engineers and sponsor this year)

Just my 2 cents. Best wishes to everyone in the off-season!!

cough902cough- couldn't go to nats, but still... they were the only people to pry us off of the ramp while parked and with a clean brake, that robot packed more power than i thought possible.
