Coolest Robot 2012

I almost forgot to do this

Nomination are now open. Open to any Australian robot that competed this year, in any weight class. Just tell us your favorite and it'll go into poll over the christmas break.

Scarlet, due to it's excellent engineering and reliability.

Vendetta Jr, it looks good and drives well.

Kickapoo Joy Juice, just for the name.

Would anyone be interested in a poll for the roboteer of 2012?

8 nominations so far, 4 ants, 3 beetles and one feather. Scarlet, Vendetta Jr, Kickapoo, Bambam, Whirlwind, Chaotic Tendencies, Shredder and Avenger. No heavyweight yet (hint Wink ), but I've already got 3 robots in the list so shouldn't be greedy. And my damn phone still doesn't let me type paragraphs on this forum.
