Judging a Bot

When builders judge a particular robot, they most likely use or refer to one or more of these four criteria:

Building skill: How well is the bot optimized and "well-built" - basically a good choice and placement of components.

Efficiency: How well a robot fairs in battle.

Creativity/Originality: How uncommon or new (that is, never before seen) is the robot's design.

Looks: Some builders pay special attention on their robot's cool looks. May be component placement, artful paintjob or both.
