Who do you think had the best looking bot at the central florida regionals, actually, any regional? I think Heatwave looked so nice and slick. I loved the front 
except for the blue tape on our arm, i think our drive train portion looked really cool
Big Red Robotics!
We had our car painted Ferrari Black, so try to top that!
check us out!
Would anyone happen to have pics of our new bot? Our site only has old ones, and the old one looks like it was half wood and was built in the last week of building season(which we most certainly did…)
Edit: We also riced it up with Rigosport, Mercedes, Bentley and Ferrari logos! Hehehe
Team 68 Truck Town Thunder
thanks patrick!
steve did the skins on the front and side
Team 148
Of course, they haven’t been to a regional yet, so I don’t know if that qualifies. It just means I’ve been doing my research.
Team 356. But I guess I’m kinda partial.
Over all design? I’d have to go with Pink, cimply cause it matched. The the speed holes were elegantly done, I think they had them ont heir cart handel too, haha. I like Heat Waves panels, and OakRidge’s more, Green being my fav color and all, but I have to give the Guy on Swamp Thing (whose name I never did learn) mad props for having to paint 2 covers, the first paint he used didn’t work to well when they practiced, so they made all new ones…o.O
207 Metalcrafters have a pretty cool cover for their robot, looks really good.
68 T3 looks really good, except with the decals flaping.
192 GRT looked really good with the red and the black.
And I like our flames (good job Bree and Jay) 
I think our robot looked pretty sweet…
(this is an old picture, now it looks better,decals and all)
I’m a fan of 179’s evil grin.
ucf
-I liked 212’s evil looking wheel covers
-267’s robot makes me kinda sentimental because it reminds me of our bot last year (sniff)
-180 reminds me of a bulldozer gone bad
-147 has the biggest tires I have ever seen on a robot (not too mention that ghetto fabulous arm)
-179 is just plain nuts
other regionals
-I’d say it’s a tie between 73 and 980 (with their mad box righting ability)
Btw 212, you had a pretty good looking girl there too.

hehe thanks
i like cybersonics bot, pretty efficient
they were also a very helpful team in the pits
I was at the ucf regional and i liked team 665’s bot. The flames painted on their side panels were awesome. They also had a strong drive train. I remember the match against heat wave when they pushed heatwav’es bot off the ramp and across to the other side. i was surprised seeing them push them like that
At Arizona hands down it had to be team 60. As always thier robot was well painted well machined and that huge sail was awesome!
The Gila Monsters (64) have an incredible bot this year, thier engineer designed it all from inventor and had it all machined. Its pretty, like a lady.
Dude! It’s all about the upholstry!! 814! 814!!!
hmm i would have to say my team’s bot was pretty sweet b4 competitions started…if n e one saw our pit at pittsburgh…there was a huge pile of all the broken polycarb panels that we had on the bot.

There seems to be a large misunderstanding amongst the FIRST community. If it was polycarb, it wouldn’t have broken. You used acrylic which will shatter and crack like you wouldn’t believe. Both materials look the same but differ greatly in chemical composition and performance. The original real strong stuff is GE Lexan; the rest that is very similar is referred to as polycarb. Acryilic is definitely not the same.
