    Next year perhaps IFI will create a category for "Best Humorous Vex Robot Video." I'd vote for this one.

    Thanks for all the comments. This entry is just for humor and entertainment - I'm sorry if you find it otherwise. If you want to look at a serious entry, look at our team promotional video.

    I have to say that it is disappointing to see that a competition robot was simply taken and labeled as something else. The commercial for it was pretty fun, but I agree with GoFoBroke. Also, I found it odd that under the BoM the robot was listed as costing $700 to make but having a price tag of only $500.
