In tournaments, the robot judged as very poor (simply the worst of all the entries) is often refered as 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" is becoming very popular right now - it is used in every tournament at least once. A few demotivational posters and captioned pictures do include the original Spinner from the West, mainly used as a mark of fail.
A number of SFTW replicas have been done by builders just for laughs or against the Stock AI. A common error in these is placing the sawblade so that it spin upwards, as any good sawbot.
