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 sawblade so that it spin upwards, as any good sawbot should. | A number of SFTW replicas have been created by builders just for laughs or against the Stock AI.

Spinner from the West was a Lightweight Sawbot built by the builder Razer.
Also known as SFTW.
Gained fame for its entry into the BBEANS3 tournament, where it did not win any of its matches.
It is sarcastically recognized as the absolute best bot ever built that has never won an actual fight in combat.
BBEANS3 fights
What Clickbeetle listed as Strengths and Weaknesses are:
Strengths: It's... large? (mildly sarcastic)
Weaknesses: Easily flipped
Meme
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" has become very popular - it is used in every tournament at least once. A few demotivational posters and captioned pictures have been created to include the original Spinner from the West, mainly used as a mark of fail.
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 sawblade so that it spin upwards, as any good sawbot should.
