217 Vs. 229 - Which Bot is Prettier?

[Collin Fultz]

a CD poll hasn't been this close since...well...ever.

it's just like taledega (sp?)...i just hope there's no bump drafting.

[Denman]

92-90 to 229....

[AJL930]

with my vote for 217 makes it 94-91. I voted for 217 because i like the clean, sleek look of there robot. Im not saying 229 is bad looking though.

[Justin Montois]

95 - all, this is impressive, i think we should call it a draw unless you make it first to XXXX.

[Freddy Schurr]

217, I like the colors and just the word chicken in robot talk

[Cobage]

Gotta be 229, you see the unpainted silver robots all the time. The gold and black is better looking and sexier.

[Lil' Lavery]

102-102....
Can't get any closer than that!

did we or did we not we all agree to this? And does anyone know who was the first to 100? This is way to tight for me to call.

It's 50/50 thats crazy!!!

Dominator has the color, has the class, and has my vote.

[Shu Song]

I voted for Thor, liked the bright color scheme that it had, which made it very recognizable.

[Mr.G]

We played with both and 217 is better.

whell i think 229 is the baet souse it is bold and kind of has a fell like it is saying hay im her look at me

[Dan Petrovic]

Go Clarkson!

Ahem... 229

We have pretty good relations with that team since, literally, have of our team was dating half of theirs.

But! Now for real, less-biased reasons.

The entire robot was painted which just... looks better...
The tower was in the middle which looks nicer, plus it gives them a farther reach.
And for some reason, Dark green seems to show up better against a grey carpet than a grey metallic robot... hmmm
Also! The lime green arm and blue hand both seem out of place. If a robot is going to be original metallic, keep it all the same.

So the score is 108 - 107. Clarkson... ahem 229

[Martinez]

111 to 110. Can 229 get back on top?

Clearly I had to go with my Ala Mater. As John said, both Bots are definately a work of art. I think its safe to say Denominator is the finest thing to ever come out of the Clarkson Machine Shop. Really though thats not the greatest of pictures. My favorite part are the golden metalic housing numbers off the front. About the comment on the Lance... Clarkson is known for its Hockey. *grin*

In truth though, I'm still partial of the Baja foam Wings from 03. This is also the closest voting competition I have ever seen. Gratz to both teams for their fine machines.
