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 recognized as the absolute best bot ever built that has never won an actual fight in combat.

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" is becoming very popular right now - it is used in every tournament at least once. A few demotivational posters and captioned pictures do include SFTW, mainly used as a mark of fail.
