Which one is plowie?
 
I was recently watching the 2013 game animation (probably for the 20th time), and I noticed something new and interesting. There are team numbers displayed on the wall in front of the drivers! They are: 233, 254, 330 for blue, and 116, 118, 148 for red. Looking back, these numbers are the same for every year that the number displays have existed.

Plowie, for those of you who do not know, is the short rectangular two-eyed blue robot who consistently manages to get hurt somehow in each game. He is also the only robot that has been in every game animation to date.

So my question is, who's robot is plowie? 233's, 254's, or 330's?

Game animations go back to 2003, so it might be beneficial to check out their 2002 robots. Or it could just be random considering they're made by Dave.
Also: I see that at least some (if not all) of these teams are sponsored by NASA. Coincidence?

It's not pink enough to be 233, and it's not decepticony enough to be 254. It is simple, elegant, and efficient, so it's a beach plow.
Some have also referred to it as Dozer.

And here I was thinking other people didn't even notice the same set of robots are used every year.

Another fun game is to pick out the faces in the crowd.

"Dozer" is the "official" name of that robot, but Plowie/Plow-E is the name that has stuck. ;)

148 is not sponsored by NASA. The other five are all teams associated with NASA sites.

While 2003 had Plowie in the animation, I would hazard a guess it is most similar to 254's 2003 robot "Mario".

Besides the fact that your post is a repeat, it also says you're from team 500, which hasn't competed in years, and from "calfornia" when 500 was from CT.

I'm gonna say spam and report that.

He will allways be Dozer to me.
