bender for removing a wheel from scissorhands.
Scissorhands for making such an awsome sound when his weapon spins up.

personally im thinking dumbell also just caus it was completely unique and was pretty effective and for a robot built by a builder who has not competed for numerous months to come in and finish the robot the day of the event and then win battleshed is remarkable.

I'll close nominations on the 15th. I would leave it a bit longer but I might be in China after that.

Nominations closed and a poll added. I also added Badger as it was last years winner.
As I say every year please don't vote for your own robot.

Is it just me or does it look like it's made from mecano? Not that that's a bad thing. Smile
