Well on second thoughts, maybe not.

minibump--

Does anyone have a more recognizable AW from Starcore than Logic Probe or is LP good enough for the list? I wanted to add more insect weights.

Yet that quota is still mentioned...

Added the bot from this video:

because everyone saw that video and when we were noobs didn't everyone try to do that same design? It influenced all of us (well most of us anyway)

What impressed me was the skinning and how the chap had made his own avatar =P

I never watched it or any other videos when I was a newb. Was kind of hard to watch videos on Youtube when I was on a 24kb/s dial-up connection until about ten months ago. Although, I did mooch ThisDude's high-speed a lot.

Clickbeetle's Hide & Seek.

Clash of the Titans champions, and were AIed to hide under the spinner in the arena center.

And maybe EFIE (Epic Flying is Epic) series for being the first UHW flipper? Idk your call

Wicked Chicken (First Chicken Drill)

lol. I won't argue that Wicked Chicken wasn't influential, but it was built before FB or I joined the official forums and never showcased. No one even knows what it looks like. The only reason anyone even knows it exists is because I named the Chicken glitch after it. :P

Once I'm back home and my internet is good enough to upload my Robot Designs folder though, you may finally get to see it.

Edit: Also Diarrhea Of A Madman should be on that list. It was probably the most feared BBEANS bot of all time--NO ONE wanted to face it. It also defined MW sledgehammer VS designs for a long time afterward, until the "everything on a half sheet/disc/skirt" craze started.

The bots that I don't think fit here -

BatmobileAI (A pioneer of metal hinge wedges despite them not catching on for another 3 years)
Not recognized enough. For this I would nominate Urjak's Lousy Launcher

Caesium (If not only for being the most memorable FSS in NAR AI)
What ? How is Caesium special other than being one of the first FSS in NAR AI ?

High Flyer (Wild Robots competitor, famous and probably the most iconic robot in the series other than Uber Chuzzle)
Never heard about it
Lame HS (Just for its "legacy", should be ranked really low on the list if it gets in)
Never heard about it

N00BOT (biggest chassis used on an effective Stock bot)
I don't think this warrants being here... it's just an old, crap joke bot

Uber Chuzzle (The most iconic Wild Robots competitor of all time, a popular robot on YouTube)
I have no idea what this bot is again

Also, I do believe Lugnut is just as recognizable as SFTW for being a crap bot. And definitely DOAM, as Click said.

Ah yes, this one. I thought we were talking about another bot. Damn you sage and your confusing name :P

Naah, it's my memory. I retract the comment about n00bot then.

Infernal Contraption was one I really remember.

Naryar · « **Reply #234 on:** July 28, 2012, 07:17:39 AM »

Dunno, it's just a bigger hazcon. Sure it went through a lot of rebuilds, and is one of the most memorable bots in NAR AI, but of all time ?

Maybe you should keep track of what your brother posts :P

And a fun little piece of history- Wicked Chicken, with the original 'chicken drill'. I think the picture says it all.

Alien Queen is not on here!

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #237 on:** July 28, 2012, 12:12:18 PM »

Alien Queen should be added, yeah

Badnik96 · « **Reply #238 on:** July 28, 2012, 12:23:15 PM »

How the

did I forget DOAM and Alien Queen??

courthousedoc · « **Reply #239 on:** July 28, 2012, 01:03:31 PM »

TuniT3 was another one i remember well for it was a great DSL bot from a builder who typically delved in stock.
