To settle a friendly arguement - Which of the Division By Chicken robots is the sexier of the two?

My arguement:

217 - Thor, because it sticks out in a crowd. The tower is located aft, which gives the robot a very laid-back and relaxed appearance. The chrome body is nicely offset by the green four-bar arm and the blue tetra grabber. With visible green whiskers and a very pointed lance, it almost looks like the tetra grabber is trying to flap its wings and fly away. The green 217 on the base is very visible from all angles, and the (hidden) wheels are very classy. Wiring by a dedicated student gives the interior a very clean appearance, and sharp angles make this THE bot of the new millenium.

229 - Denominator, though still very pretty, just can't match up to the beauty of 217. The gold and forest green are very majestic, but if you want to see this color combination, all you have to do is go outside into a forest in Fall. The tower is located forward, anticipating the start of the match. The skirt (or kilt) around its base looks like something Dave Lavery would wear to Nationals for a box of Krispie Kremes. It's elegant in a classic sort of way, like a Coke bottle. The tetra grabber has the added distinction of looking like a hockey stick, which scores extra points by the judge from Hockeytown. It appears that a Chicken was living in the base and used the wiring for the nest. Bonus score for the golden cross and pretty numbers, plus sexy wheels
Altogether, looks like an award that should be given to 217 symbolizing how pretty THEIR robot looks.
