Spinner from the west (also known as SFTW), gained fame for its entry into the [[BBEANS]]3 tournament, where it did not win any of its matches.
It is recognized as the absolute best bot ever built that has never won an actual fight in combat.
It is sarcastically recognized as the absolute best bot ever built that has never won an actual fight in combat.
A design strongly inspired by spinner from the west was added to [[Robot Arena 3]] as a stock AI bot, called [[The Lone Saw]].

In tournaments, when splash time comes, the robot judged as the worst fighter of all is often dubbed "SFTW". Mainly used for just one robot, but it is not uncommon to see two or three bots dubbed as SFTW's.
The term "SFTW" has become very popular - it is used in most tournaments at least once. A few demotivational posters were created and captioned pictures have been created (a long time ago) to include the original Spinner from the West, mainly used as a mark of failure. There is even a SFTW smiley on Gametechmods.
A number of SFTW replicas have been created by builders just for laughs or against the Stock AI. A common error in these is placing the chewblade so that it spin upwards, as any good sawbot should (if a sawbot can be good in stock).
The sarcastic "Strengths" quote is often said to be "It's...big?" when it is in fact "It's large...?". Both quotes are often used to describe a SFTW bot.
