I bet at least one FIRST team will make a fully functiong Wall E for a demo bot that'll knock people's socks off.
What would impress me is if anyone can make a good EVE replica (san dangerous laser cannon. Though she would make an interesting Battlebot). The flying would be cool enough but how would you pull off the free floating head?
