While they also have other capabilities, 3284 from Missouri is an amazing vault-bot. Their over the shoulder arm design lets them clear the pile very quickly without having to turn around, and they can take cubes without making a mess of the stack. Their stats may not show it because in some matches they spent a fair amount of time trying to work the scale, with somewhat less success.
I think 3750 could fit in somewhere on the list! 
We did not do vault very much, choosing to always maintain ownership of the scale but when we did these were the outcomes!
Sometimes getting as many as 3 in 10 seconds.
The key word from my post was “Switch/Vault dedicated”. Y’all are much too good at the Scale to qualify 
Of course I’m sure I missed many other fantastic MN teams from my short list. As a region MN has grown so much this year and we have so many teams that have taken a giant step forward. It won’t be long before we can get into arguments with California and Ontario about why we’re better :rolleyes:
1011 is the best vault bot in Arizona. The fact that they can do all their vault duties and still put a ton of cubes on either of the switches every match makes that pretty clear.
6502 actually does the same intake actuation as you do when intaking cubes, but the way they release is actually really unique, as they let go of the cube for a second by opening their arms and then hammer it with their pistons (this is why they named their robot Dropkick). You can see in action in this video: https://youtu.be/DWvzIKzL2CM.
For New England I’d like to put my vote in for 4557 as the best vault bot. Their vault cycles are incredibly quick and consistent and once they’re done with that (sometimes within the first 45 seconds of a match) they can maintain their switch or go take their opponents. Definitely a very smart and up and coming team to look out for.
While they usually spend their time doing other things I absolutely love 610’s vault abilities. They use their shooter to slide the cube across the ground and into the the vault with ease. Combined with some great driving, they make it look effortless.
I’m going to vote for Team 1836 for Southern California. I watches 2 of their regionals and they were insanely quick to the vault (all 9 in 35 seconds or so??) and great at the switch too.
For my CHS district, I will vote Team 888, we picked them at the Southern Maryland district for their quickness with the vault and solid climbing ability
Here is a video in which you can clearly see our exchange mech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLyt_y6EtJw
Notice how the cube goes all the way through the exchange. There is no need to use the rollers which actually speeds up the vault time considerably as the human player doesn’t have to come back and kick the rollers.
This is cool. Might have to incorporate a puncher into an offseason iteration. Are the solenoids anything special like the McMaster high flow model, or are they typical?
There are four cylinders total, each 3/4" bore 8" stroke. Each one is plumbed to a NITRA single solenoid valve (0.78cv, from Automation Direct, looks identical to bimba high flow ones) and each valve has its own dedicated post-reg 60psi tank right before it. For switch/vault we only use one of the four cylinders.
Originally when we were only a switch/vault bot, we just had two 5.5" (iirc) 3/4" bore cylinders and that worked fine too.
Edit: we also automated the whole clamping/lifting process with a Sharp IR tucked underneath the shooter
hey that 5499 team is pretty good too 
Love your machine. It’s definitely one that struck me as a “why didn’t we build that robot” type design when I first saw it. We intended on being a scale robot, but called the audible in week 5.5. In the offseason we are going to remount our elevator (https://youtu.be/I7fvXlelr18) to the chassis we competed with and cut our switch bot down to ~20x24.
In this instance, disregrad Caleb’s excellent database which is OPRing the points. Here is the raw data for the 506 teams in Michigan
You were second in the state behind 7225. I’ve seen you both in person and you are both excellent teams

And a quick check of the world stats shows that 7225 is tied with 5846 for best vaultbot in the world!
Both them have played 24 games and missed only 3 out of a potential 216 cubes.
The OP, F.A.S.T. team, with its (201 cubes out of 216) is 7th in the world (out of 3585 teams) which is something to be very proud of.
+1 for 2016
At our scouting meeting, our scout captain raved about them and in eliminations they were shutting teams, including us, down.
They are the kind of robot that you hate when playing against them, but love when you’re with them.
I think this robot would be a great Vault Bot.
Team WALL-E
6445 belongs on here for sure.
