I know, I don’t regret sending it in; the fault lies with the voters, just like in politics... Hahaha. If we look at the podium—the one in the forest with the "arachno-bots" or the whale one... those are the kinds of things that won.

Thanks. Looking at the podium, one of these probably would have performed better than my Babybot, but I already knew that beforehand.

I don't know how one of these would have fared, gut the Babybot was the best, imo

panos

Great variety here, my friend!
