I'll be honest, I dont think this is the best of threads...I think its good to discuss robots there, but to have a polling, you need all the teams on the list to be absolutley fair (or at least all the teams in the finals).

Hmm, well, in my mind, certain designs stand out for being more unique than others. Ours wasn't exceptionally innovative. I mean, it was designed by us, but it was a standard 4-wheel drive, 12.5 pneumatic wheels, roller on front to plow, telescopic arm to grab bar. Ours wasn't a copy of anyone else, but I don't know that it would stand out in anyone's mind. Can anyone here picture it without going back and looking at a picture somewhere? The bots that really stood out would be 501, 69, 121, 50 (again, I THINK it's 50. It's the all wooden bot with 7 autonomous modes) 190, and 1058. They had the most unique and different designs.

as for why 69 isn't going as of yet. well, early on in the season, we had to make a choice. either hope that we do good and get to nationals, and go to those. or do 2 regionals, with one of them being in a place that would be good to travel to. so, after a vote, we decided on 2 regionals, and we will be attending the southern californina regional in LA soon.

but because of money and other factors, right now, we are not going to atlanta, but we can always hope for the best, now can't we?

Look i love 69's robot design and how the worked , but the team that was best in show, consistant and fast was 501 ..There wasent one match i saw that they made a mistake ....So hats off to 501 and 69 for putting on a good show......two thumbs up here..

one thing I would like to point out about team 138's bot is that we did not use all of it's capabilities. during the practice rounds at nats we may experiment winching all the way up and blocking goals, or capping our own goal simultaneously winching.

all of our tests indicate that manipulation of the large balls and the bonus balls are easily acheived using the carbon-fiber claw.

what you saw at the BAE regionals was just a taste of 138. you will be getting more

im so sad that noone mentioned us :'( we were really consistent hangers, 7-8 matches we hung. we even pushed the dragoons out of the way to prevent them from getting all those balls! we had one sick drive, that noone could push us around.

I'm sad you hyped yourself in this thread.

Greg, you've been around for a while.
I had thought you to have the maturity and modesty to be better than this.

"Ask anyone on our team, we're the best."

Yeah, real impressive.

Poor John ....You need to cheer up boy ! 229 had the coolest drivetrain. Simple two speed tranmistion , Rock solid design all the way around...Few minor tweak and there on there way to being unstopable. Good luck in Long Island John..

[Greg Perkins]

sorry guys i didnt mean to be arrogant...i dont wanna seem whiny, so im sorry bout that post

Haha, our team has concluded that OUR bot was the most 'ghetto' looking bot there. Having built it with a few hacksaws, 2 handdrills, and an angle grinder (we didn't even have a hammer until week 4) we made something that works, but it doesn't look well machined. And that's because it's not. We'll be the first to say that the only thing special about our bot is all the hard work that went into it. And even that is duplicated in other teams.
