Seems to be a landslide victory for the ED209, but I don't think it's so cut and dry. Surely the ED209 would jump to an early and commanding lead, but the real question is can it kill more than 50 drunk students before they incapasitate the robot. We know they ROTLD runing zombies cannot be killed, not even destroying the brain will stop them. We also know that once the ED209 is on it's back it will simply flail around and cry like a baby. The ED209 also tends to give you a couple of warnings before it shoots you, giving plenty of time for a small group to push it over. We've all seen footage (or been a part of) college riots and have seen small groups flipping over full sized cars, or pulling down goal posts.

If the same were to be done to the zombies, a group working together to incapasitate it would be incredibely vulnerable to infection. Once ED209 is down, it'll only be a matter of time before the zombies clean up the leftovers. Zombies win hands down, the giant bumbling robot can't compete with an unstopable, infection spreading, starving for human brains foe.
