Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: JoeBlo on July 02, 2010, 07:37:48 AM: *insert random but I love you Nary talk here*

this will be fun though, the only reason I have been 'razzing' you is becasue I want to you to do your best this time

one point ACAMS, umm the BOTM bot exchange uploads only .bot files what about custom parts for robots in this type of setting ?
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Naryar on July 02, 2010, 07:44:39 AM: Then make a RAR with all components and skins and upload it here.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Badnik96 on July 02, 2010, 07:45:03 AM: 123's Reindeer is in a .rar, it should upload .rar's if I'm not mistaken.

edit: prepare for something random from me :P

The BOTM Bot Exchange has ALWAYS accepted bot,7z,zip,rar ...... I just added 7z,zip,rar to the BOTM splash uploader 5 minutes ago!

Upload your BOTM entry .bot file ONLY

was a little misleading then ;)

@Badnik: 123 used the normal file host since ACAMS didn't have this around in November
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: ACAMS on July 02, 2010, 08:34:09 AM: No, I fixed it just for him!

Now I will go fix the stupid "Upload your BOTM entry .bot file ONLY" thingy

sending my entry, basically a the hazards of staying indoors on a hot summer day :evilsmile:
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Noodle on July 06, 2010, 12:08:00 AM: I have a stock bot I was thinking of entering, but I don't know how well it'll do if everyone else does DSL stuff.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: S.T.C. on July 06, 2010, 03:56:32 PM: I'd make something, but I need that file that make a blue bg for my bot images.

In that case I think I'm probably not entering. I wouldn't stand a fighting chance.

No, I am not entering, you could have a chance with a stock bot if it is SHW and super cool.

I will probably enter the next no rules BOTM tho

Just a few Anything BOTMs as an FYI. You can see the Christmas ones, and how it is possible for a normal-ish bot to win, but normally it doesn't.

Post by: 123savethewhales on July 08, 2010, 02:13:30 PM: No weight or BFE limitation, I wonder how big of a bot I can make.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 08, 2010, 02:17:06 PM: If someone could be bothered, they could make a bot as long as the Drag race arena.

Interesting idea.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: 123savethewhales on July 23, 2010, 02:36:30 PM: So did anyone send something for this?
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 23, 2010, 02:37:43 PM: I did
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Badnik96 on July 23, 2010, 02:41:12 PM: Both me and 027 did
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: SKBT on July 23, 2010, 02:43:24 PM: If my idea stops A-GODing I will send something in.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 23, 2010, 02:46:54 PM: I forgot. My do it tomorrow.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Noodle on July 23, 2010, 03:47:40 PM: I didn't. The lack of any good ideas coupled with all the trouble I've had with Vbox and 3ds5 prevents me from making anything competitive.

I'm gonna try to be there for the next BOTM though.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: ACAMS on July 23, 2010, 06:42:19 PM: Naryar.....get off your ass and get your bot in!!!

EDIT: He was
Last Active: July 09, 2010, 01:16:15 AM
Has anybody seen Naryar?
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Badnik96 on July 23, 2010, 06:46:45 PM: He's on vacation, I think.

(A shame, he missed ELBITE)
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: JoeBlo on July 23, 2010, 11:41:18 PM: LOL he didnt even send his robot in after all that

mines coming.. I like to maximize my time, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 24, 2010, 01:52:36 AM: He didn't send anything. I had to get his BTTB bot out of NAR AI.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: JoeBlo on July 24, 2010, 01:58:10 AM: yeah but the difference is he jumped up and down complaining when ACAMS trolled him with the fake BOTM thread, kept talking up his entry to me saying he would win and he didnt send it :P
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 24, 2010, 02:02:48 AM: Ah yeah, good times. XD
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 25, 2010, 11:29:56 AM: DP: Darn. I was just rebuilding Asylum Seeker from a few BOTM's back, and I found an awesome art bot that I should have entered instead of what I did.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Badnik96 on July 25, 2010, 12:47:12 PM: 4 more days!
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 27, 2010, 03:31:54 PM: Not long now!
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Jack Daniels on July 27, 2010, 04:14:10 PM: Gah! I never got any serious time to work on my entry for this... Does not look like I am gonna make this one.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 27, 2010, 04:17:47 PM: I think I might have a chance, I worked really hard this time.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: G.K. on July 27, 2010, 04:18:26 PM: Good luck Sparkey and everybody else.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Jonzu95 on July 27, 2010, 04:27:45 PM: I bet, that I will win.

Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: Jonzu95 on July 27, 2010, 04:42:49 PM: Yes. I am really sure.
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 27, 2010, 06:37:25 PM: You are too sure that you win every time, stop that and you will not be disapointed at the results, just enter for the fun of it. Thats what I always do when I entered and I actually won 1 BOTM and that was with a bot I build before the first BOTM!
Title: Re: BOTM August 2010
Post by: ACAMS on July 27, 2010, 06:59:19 PM: I am going to extend the deadline to Friday midnight and will put the winner up monday.

Naryar had better show up by then!.......plus it gives extra time for you other guys.

Post by: Clickbeetle on July 27, 2010, 09:35:16 PM: Got my bot done. I'm going a bit more low-key this time... not by choice, but because I have so much else going on.
