Who do you think were the top ten robots this year
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
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
My top ten in order would be
111
16
25
67
45
236
217
469
58
118

Honorable Mentions to
121 (stacker or low ride mode), 73, 176, 27, 71, 79, 1073
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.

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

And if top 25, I’d like to think 1108.
And by drivers, ours was amazing.
My personal favorite bot, as has been since I saw them at Buckeye, is 378 - I wish they would’ve been in our division.
I was kind of partial to 188, 121, and 126 in Curie.
Of course, the national champion alliance is a given.
winniefrom71: what about team 71, there robot would be in the top 10.
i would like to apologize for that statement. this person’s views do not represent the views of team hammond. furthermore, team hammond member’s views do NOT represent the entire team. i would like to apologize to anybody that might have been offended by that uncalled for remark.
Dont’ worry big guy, we all know it’s in fun and games. My top 10 list doesn’t so much relate to the robot, as it does the team mates and drive teams. A well spirited and professional team can make a teams robot seem that much better.
