Tumbleweed is the most interesting of the bunch by a large margin.

I like #1 too, it's not often you see redbird drive on AW's but... I don't know how many batteries it has, I'm guessing 2.

It's a hard call, so I'll do the "points" thingy :

#1
1  = effective
1  = innovative and cool setup
-1 = batteries number not shown (for making my lazy ass to calculate stuff just to find out that it has 2 pinks (if the chassis is 17.1))
-----
1 point total

#2
1  = effective
-----
1 point total

#3
1  = effective
1  = superb chassis (I think, that Ianh's chassis is a VERY well done and small, but I will not give this point if someone else use/d it, since it's his creation)
-----
2 points total

#4
1  = cool splash (the right part)
-1 = stealing my AW-UFO setup  :p
-----
0 points total

I think this was fair enough, so my vote is obvious now...

#1 is unique, fast and should be pretty powerful. The decision to not use an extender to give it longer reach in exchange for a chance that it would get hit and knock the weapon off with it could be a wise one. It's main weakness is chassis size and the fact the chassis is plastic, will it spin fast enough to keep other bots away from it's fragile chassis?

#2 Can outweapon all AW's to my knowledge and has decent protection due to weapon setup however if the top iron gets knocked off the Y extender holding the other 2 is pretty exposed and the bot is going to get slowed down quickly as the match goes on due to only 1 battery which will hinder the damage it can do.

#3 is sort of unique, the protective razor should keep bots at bay and provide extra damage while the flail weapon hits the front and top of bots. If the razor gets knocked off early the whole front of the bot is exposed for rammers to hit (unless the flailing razors protect it which isn't likely) and it's slow but that shouldn't hurt too much because the main weapon isn't the ramming weapon.

#4 is probably the best all round bot here with DSA, 2 pinks and 2 irons to deal damage and protect most the front of the bot. I question the weapon placement though, is it too low to the ground? plus the Y extender could get knocked off with a lucky blow.
