That Blue Bulldozer Robot from the Game Animations

Hello Robonauts!

This might seem like a strange first post, but I'd like to start with something happy, that everybody can relate to.
Every year, there is a game animation with six robots: three red, three blue. There are successful ones, and not so successful ones, but one stands ahead of the rest. So far ahead that he has been in all of the recent animations. All of them.
He is the blue bulldozer.
His beauty and success comes from his simplistic design, his lack of being able to do anything, really.
We just felt like he needed more attention. So we found his facebook page. At first, a few people liked him. But then it died down. But I know that he has more fans then just that!
Please, go and support this robot. Give him the strength to return next year. I have faith in you.

He's the one that always get the damage. soccer balls and logo intertubes thrown at him, falls off the bridge trying to do a triple balance.

At one point in this year's animation I thought he'd get his revenge on the red robots. Sadly I was wrong and he just ended up getting hurt again

Re: That Blue Bulldozer Robot from the Game Animations

I caught a picture of one of the Montreal rookies when I was at the Montreal regional this past March.

Yes, you guessed it; they built Plowie.

Re: That Blue Bulldozer Robot from the Game Animations

I've heard both "Plowy/Plowie/Plow-E" and Dozer.
Dave would know for real, but I'm pretty sure it's Dozer.

All that robot did was leave red and blue skid marks all over the field and get itself disabled for doing that.
