Most visually appealing robot

[NWChen]

Interpret however you like: what's the most visually appealing FRC robot you've ever seen?

I'll start with team Spectrum 3847 in 2014.

Pure Looks: 254 in 2014
Functional Design: 1114 in 2015
Wow Factor: 3310 in 2015
Mind-Melting Creativity: 469 in 2010

(you stole my thunder, man: I wanted to post all the pretty PNW bots )


I like a lot of robots...

Several of the NASA house teams have been killing it for a long time on this--Pink, Cheesy Poofs, and Robonauts in particular.

But I still measure things on the Tumbleweed scale. No other robot was good enough to eat.

Pretty robots? Nobody else does better.

254 every year is amazing. 1114 had a very distinctive look this year, although they look pretty fly every year. I would put 1114 above 254 for this year though.
148 is good-looking, but they're not as artistic as the above two.
2848 looked pretty cool this year.

EDIT: 1501 is amazing!

[Ginger Power]

My personal favorite.

For my years,

2007: 987
2008: 233
2009: 254
2010: 469
2011: 254
2012: 1717
2013: 148/33
2014: 254
2015: 2826/971

Teams probably worth throwing into the mix: 33 (2014), 1986 (2014), 330 (2015), and 67 (2012). All of them make really eye pleasing robots each year, parenthesized is the one I thought was coolest.

148 in 2010.

[Jeremy Germita]

My favorites by year:

2010: 330
2011: 254 / 330
2012: 118 / 973
2013: 1323 / 1477 / 125
2014: 254 / 118
2015: 118 / 148

These are the robots I always refer people to when talking about the effective fusion of aesthetics and execution.

[Trevor1523]

I think that we all know that 118, 254 and 1114 have some of the most amazing looking as far as function and aesthetics are concerned.

Definitely not ours, considering we spray paint the aluminum.
