Definitely the scariest this decade.

Also worthy of consideration:

180, 2002. They called it Fluffy, because there was nothing cuddly about this thing at all. This was the robot that smashed a dominant 71 into the barrier and busted their wheel mount in Einstein finals, because that was the only way anyone was going to stop them.

25, 2003. Originally titled Opportunity Knocks, this robot was beastly on the top of the hill that year--including knocking their own alliance partner off. That led game announcer to proclaim "That is an evil machine!" The name has been applied to most-if-not-every 25 robot since.
