# Similar, yes
But not the same. Robots are real (or at least a lot of them are), sci-fi isn't. You can shop Darth Vader in this challenge, you couldn't in the other.

# I think the fine line between the original robot challenge and this one
is something only sci-fi/robot geeks will understand.
So that's 99½% of B3tards satisfied ;)

# that's me out then.
shall we do something different involving flowers and animals instead?

# I hope it's not too late to suggest
Flowers, animals, shoes and erm, more shoes.

# I suppose,
but through geeky pedantry, were Daleks robots or simply vessels/vehicles?

And was Darth Vader a cyborg, I mean all his limbs and as far as I know respiratory system were robotic, so surely he was more fitting to the compo then Daleks?

Same with AT-AT's they're vehicles, not robots.

I'm not trying to discredit your post/this compo, just saying the compos are pretty much open to interpretation anyway and so this one is very similar - but I shall welcome it as we couldn't have Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini in the last compo.
