Coolest Robot 2009

Same as previous years. I'll take nominations for a week and then run a poll for the rest of the year. Open to any Australian robot that competed this year.

Previous Winners
2005 - Pinscher
2006 - Sidewinder
2007 - Badger
2008 - Savager

Bender is cool. It has a simple design. It can both take and give punishment. I was impressed by it's return from damage at IF.

Are forum immigrants/Scotty foreigners permitted to vote?

If so, from what I've seen in videos and pictures, I'd go for Misfortune. Part of it is to do with the fact it's got an awesome beater and, as someone who is a fan of drums and beaters, I'm a bit biased Smile
I like the shape of the prongs as armour at the front too, just adds a bit of variety to its design.
Plus it's compact yet still packs a helluva punch, that's pretty cool

If we're not allowed to vote, then good luck Misfortune Wink
