Since Hydro cant get a PMs here what i must say to him in a PM :
================================================
First: you didnt copy and send me the whole link, only a prat... Thanks to my good skills i successed to get it but for future... Ask someone how to do it, cos i dont have time.

Second: your candidate is NOT accepted.

Go and read the all rules please. You have time (about one week) until the registration is closed. So you have time to think for something better. This you send me is not a "FREAK" bot its just some very lame regular rammer. Sorry but you need to ask or look around what is a freak bot...

I hope you gonna make it and send me new bot. And this time real FREAK.

sorry, bye
================================================

"Perhaps we should vote for a bot in each weight class, too. Because a LW freak bot is generally less impressive that a HW freak bot. That is kinda unfair."

I was thinking the same but i will not get enouth candidates at all so... Its like this for now... Make it whatever class you want. BTW i have a MW bot that is very impresive so its not like this...

Yes, its a 'freakbot' contest and after voting is started we vote like for BotM contest. It will have short review video with all bots and one simple pic for every bot to choose from them what you like best.

ONE VERY VERY IMPORTANT THING :

I want to make it more intrigy and interest so i add to "secret" rule to this tournament. This mean ALL must FOLLOW this rule at any costs :

Voters will see for what bot they vote but they must DONT know who build that bot untill voting is finished and we have a winner. So this mean that is strictly forbidden pretenders to showcase theyr bots or to tell who is theyr bot untill all is finished !!! This is importnat, bot is important not who build it. I want to be voted for bot not for builder...
Read more careful the rules Naryar...

great idea...but i will enter this "freakbot" contest if i have time to build that "freakbot"

Edit: can we vote for your own bot?

Naryar · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2008, 06:29:11 PM »

Yep, you can. Look just before the fourth smiley in the rules.

(and now Venko you won't say that I didn't read carefully the rules, eh?)

Gigafrost · « **Reply #23 on:** September 03, 2008, 06:52:48 PM »

I'm in...

Hydro · « **Reply #24 on:** September 03, 2008, 09:53:18 PM »

actually, you are supposed to go up to the other bot and spin. thats how it was designed.

Venko · « **Reply #25 on:** September 03, 2008, 10:03:02 PM »

So, you call a regular bot with 6WD and two axes a FREAK bot? No matter you will use the axes for ramming or to sit 'n' spin. ITS NOT A FREAK BOT.
Can someone please explain to him what is a freak bot?

For this contest you gonna need "SHOCKING" freak.
Get it what im trying to say?
For ADDICT you must force your brain dreams not building skills...
The IDEA for the bot is everything in the ADDICT...
Try some insanely original crawler or some "walking" bot or flying. Or some unseen concept or weapon system...
You can make a cool objects too. Example (just for example) : i was having idea for birthday cake of doom. Its a bot with circle chassis painted as cake and with candels (red extenders) and with mad face and "hands" with weapons or something like that. Get it?
My SHW the infinite start as a new model of self-defending safe that can move and have weapons. I also have a bot "the atomic suitcase of the president" that have even a handle and wheels are hidden and hit a lot bad with piston spikes from inside...
You can make for example a wallking TV with antens or something like that (painted good as TV of course)
Get what im trying to say? You can make some every day object as a bot...
Wish you good luck and be creative...
Just read the rules section and follow the rule where everyone must keep secret who is theyr bot and so...

Its a "just for fun" bot contest after all, no need of lame hammers/sit 'n' spin or whatever...

I'll enter one, Venko.
Why is you done pickin' on my 'walkin' bots'????

Naryar · « **Reply #27 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:43:28 AM »

No problem Venko. I had a freak bot that is not controllable at first view, but you can control it. Tuff to move in a controlled way, that said. Even Magmatic Revolution drives five times better than that one.

Venko · « **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2008, 07:07:00 AM »

To Mad : I don't havin' any idein' in my brain' what you'r sain'...
Walker bots are allowed, but you must know that, CUSTOM or any AIing, or PYtoning, or anything outside of building screen, is forbidden !
This means if you gonna enter the bot must NOT be AIed or bot file edited.
Your walker bots usually use some hard custom PYtoned AIing to move, this is not allowed in ADDICT. The user must have a way to control them, not some Py AI file...

To Naryar : Just remember not to give any clue about what you will build, or that you are the builder of this bot in the bot name or in the skin.

why did you copy my deadline? i had 9/15 (or 15/09 in your country) for RAW

Venko · « **Reply #31 on:** September 06, 2008, 10:39:44 AM »

First : No one can copy a date. The doings just happened on some date that they want and that's it. This is like to say : "Why you copy my birthday date, im born on that date too. Immediately change the date of your birth."
Second : Speaking of birthdays... I have a birthday at 15 sep ( THIS IS NOT A JOKE !!! ) so i will be busy that day and probably some after him...
And after this i must start preparing for my school so i dont have time...
Third : ADDICT is a very different tournament from RAW and they are not COMPETE, so what's the problem? But mostly what is your problem with me and ADDICT?

We all know that Venko's a little weird, but why the HELL he would be interested in copying your deadline, Sage?

We have 9 days for building these bots. I don't see the problem.

wow. i hate how sarcasm doesnt work on the internet...

Venko · « **Reply #34 on:** September 06, 2008, 06:34:55 PM »

Lol, Sage, dont joking like this man. See what happen?

PRETENDERS QUANTITY status updated, check the main post.

Naryar · « **Reply #35 on:** September 06, 2008, 07:23:10 PM »

BTW Venko, "quantity" is for objects, not for people.

Venko · « **Reply #36 on:** September 06, 2008, 10:14:42 PM »

Thanks, is better now?

Naryar · « **Reply #37 on:** September 07, 2008, 03:13:46 AM »

Great.

And, by the way, even unweaponed bots like flippers or unarmedd pushers can do damage sometimes...

I'll say "your bot must have at least one weapon component able to do damage" (no point if there is a static iron into the chassis)

Venko · « **Reply #38 on:** September 07, 2008, 12:17:01 PM »

Too late for such changes but... NP. I will not pay attention on this rule. I have eyes and i can see if some bot can make a dmg or not, so NP. BTW are you ready with your candidate?

Naryar · « **Reply #39 on:** September 07, 2008, 02:09:06 PM »

Nope. I have my idea though, and the bot is ready to build.
