Thanks for the nomination/vote whatever you want to call it
Best Hybrid- 47
Tripple Goal- 71
PS: Even though we all envy (and slightly dislike) 71 because they won twice, i give them A LOT of credit for their robot design. It was one of the best.
NOTE: this last statement was NOT ment to offend anyone.
PPS: Did ANY other bot handel 3 goals?

A quick overview of my votes:
I nominated 121, 95, and 175 all because we didn’t have any ball capabilities this year and every time I saw these robots in action it just amazed me.
I nominated 25 because they are just awesome! You guys rule and are extremely good at what you do. Thanks for all you helped us accomplish this year.
My vote for 71 is self explanitory.
190 Should receive votes for best sitting bot. Once they got ahold of the goals they were going to sit and watch, and you really had to work to do anything about it. (apologies again for the breaking of your arm)
The vote for 173 is another obvious one.
Coolest looking robot goes to 263 I hope it’s right, and they are the Campbell Soup team from N.J. You have to go look them up, and just see the design, you’ll get a luagh and be purly amazed.
Best mini-bot, and I am trying to do this completely unbaised, but sorry I have to do it, because I believe it is true is team 84. If you haven’t seen it in action be sure to catch a glimpse of ‘Moose’ this fall. I will attempt to attach a picture, but it is truly amazing. Moose weighs in at a hefty 9 lbs. and is a 4" mini-bot with antlers and a tail. The tail lies flat on the floor and can not cause entanglement. Moose is fully controlable by a joystick, and the operator is ‘crazy’. Moose is not afraid to attack robots larger than her, can push a goal, maneuver around balls, and out run robots. Moose is responsible for all of the awards that team 84 won this year, and specifically was awarded the Leadership In Control Award for her design, uniqueness, and controling.
PLEASE, anyone who has ever competed with the ‘Moose’ or has seen the ‘Moose’ in action feel free to comment, or cast your vote for her.
