MutAnt. First walker to ever win one of the main weight catagory titles. (I think the only other occasion a walker has won a title was my flukey fleaweight win, where there were only 2 entrants :lol: )

For that reason alone No Snail should get in XD

Adam Clark seems like a fairly obvious choice for the hall of fame, for robots it's a bit trickier but MutAnt is a good choice (as would Type-0, as the first ant walker and a damned cool looking thing) and DBA could also have a case for consistent success and being the first overseas winner that I'm aware of. So many other choices too...

Great suggestion by Joey regarding DBA, I'm 100% behind that. DBA Evo remains one of my favourite ants of all time, so I'd like to see it in the hall of fame. It's was a game changer, an incredibly reliable and destructive spinner.

As for people, I can't believe no-one has nominated Craig!? I'm sure he doesn't need his ego boosting much, but he is a multi AWS winner, multi-AWS host, promoter of the hobby and builds some really innovative robots (even if some of them end up like Scrap Mamba ;) ). Of all the events I've been to over the past 8 years, Craig has been to pretty much all of them.

The only reason I didn't nominate Craig is cos he said he was making himself void from it because it was his website.
