First of all, hello, which was the best robot you saw this season and off season?
My thought is that the 1323 madtown robotics robot was incredible, it was a complex and very fast robot.

My favorite robots from this season would definitely be 2910 followed by 254, 4414 and 1323. The reason why I loved 2910’s robot was while it could do anything that the Breakdown (254 Robot) do but also it is so compact and small which makes it the best robot “in my opinion” it also had only one intake and a telescope arm which made it less complex compared to other robots which some had 2 intakes elevators and telescope arms so that is why I think 2910 was great.

2910, 1678, 5460 and 3538.
However 68 was essentially the robot I wanted to build at the beginning of the season.

2910, always the cutest robots yet still arguably the most functional and well-designed in the world.
48’s design was also really cool. “Unique” dimensions and some pretty incredible controls. It was a joy to watch so many things move on such a seemingly simple and barebones robot.

My personal favorite had to be 5940. Their robot was so fun to watch and overall had a very nice design.

I really like the explosion of off-season cube-only bots. Two of my favourites are
4414’s Low Tide
9483’s Ballista

6328 hands down. Elegant, sleek, amazing controls, and in my personal opinion the thing that makes it the best… BLINKY LIGHTS AND COLORS

my favorite would be 2056. Their autonomous modes were on-point.

111 had my favorite design. Not only an effective design but also a massive influence on other robots with there manipulator design.

For top teams, OPR was a slightly better indicator of robot point contributions than EPA in Charged Up. Archimedes was also unreasonably stacked.
2056 and 1323 were far ahead of the pack. It really wasn’t even close.
