As opposed to 2008 where you need to carry around an overpass. 
But seriously if you've got to choose, 2009 is probably the better choice. |
Doing demonstrations with our 2008 robot was a huge pain...though 1189's robot looks nice on a float for a parade  2009 and 2006 robots are the best for demonstrations, IMO. What makes 2006 bots better (if they aren't cannibalized yet) is that you don't have to worry about having either a spare control system to use on it, or switching cRio components between the two robots.
