but what constitues a robot? Surly unless purly mechanical the item woudl be a cyborg ninja? And in this case would you then be penalised in the competition? In fact, if you use a ninja-robot robot-ninja combination will you be using 2 of the 4 types or non of them because you cant have a ninja-robot or vice verca?

Is a Robot Ninja the same as a Ninja Robot?
You could say the same for any element pairing.
No, you can't, I mean... Robot Zombie (or Zombie Robot)? That combination is impossible.

He was made out of human parts. That would make him a p-zombie, I guess. No roboticity there.

@shmoove: So you don't mind if people call your computer by your name (pick any "creation" you've made instead of computer if you feel like it)? Or is Oppenheimer synonymous with A-bomb? What about Ford.. Ok bad axample [smile]
In my opinion robot ninja != ninja robot. I associate Ninja robot with a robot that mimics a ninja. Like the Santa robots you see waving in malls before Christmas. A Robot ninja sounds to me like a ninja that's really a robot. That is, it's sneaking around and cutting up people like a real ninja, but it's a robot.
To sum it up *-robot = animated representation of *, while robot-* is a real *, but the "job" is held by a robot instead of a human.
Or maybe I just need some sleep...
