Oh the other hand, lesser known teams post pics they themselves think are funny but are in fact also ridiculous & useless, & get negative rep, or bad comments about the picture.
Talk about a double standard huh? 
I think if we are to talk about ridiculous & useless teasers we need to address EVERY team who does it, but then again, my personal feeling is, that it doesn't matter what you post as a teaser.
If it's ridiculous & useless I'll just ignore it unless it's to make a comment on the teaser item itself, even if it's "just a kit part" such as a rover wheel as many people have pointed out as a "bad teaser pic".

Sorry if there is a double standard.
I guess we should all be equally interested in all teams, right? I should care as much about a kitbot drivetrain as whatever is being built in Hammond, right?
Yes, our teaser was ridiculous and useless. We know it was.
It was more of a parody of the ridiculous and useless teasers out there. It is also fun for us, because as said above -- everyone seems to eat it right up.
Don't worry, we won't be doing it again next year.
No more teasers from 148.
As usual, 148 will unveil our full robot in video form shortly after ship.
To tide you over...
