Coolest Robot 2007

Nominations are open for this years coolest robot competition.

Nominations are open to any robot that competed this year, from any weight class, but only if they are on my ranking tables. Sidewinder can't retain it's crown because it didn't fight this year. A good way to check who you can nominate is to look at the current tables and pick anyone with a purple date next to their name. But no nominating or voting for yourself.

Nominations will close on Christmas day and the good nominations will be added to a poll which everyone can vote on.

And remember:


quote:
Cool is an aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance, style and Zeitgeist. Because of the varied and changing connotations of cool, as well its subjective nature, the word has no single meaning. It has associations of composure and self-control and often is used as an expression of admiration or approval.

So there is no true deffention of cool, just pick who you like the most.

For shear novelty value, ForkInHell.

It was completely different and it actually drove and won some fights.

I also nominate Phailbot for explosive dis-assembly and Jolt (of course!) for fear factor and taking it to Reboot, the current national champ.

Devastator, for having the coolest active weapon. Jolt and Reboot are a close second place for me.

I would probably vote for badger, but since this is a nomination, I will nominate Visceral.

I think its cool because its rebellious. It doesn't want to listen to Glen and do as its told. Its got its own cool personality.

Laughing Visceral doesn't have a cool personality, is has an unbalanced (as in the drum) personality. I still like it though.

I would nominate Tough As Nails.

A Dutch heavyweight that after 5 years of use still is going strong.
