Oooh unrealistic DSL? This should be interesting...
-
Do you mean FBS as in shell spinner or sit and spinner? because I've heard it used for both.
-
Hmm, this seems interesting. 123 and Click would be my initial picks for this one, but we'll wait and see what the entries are like.
I'd also like to know whether or not FBS constitutes a few "arms", like an SnS, or a static shell, or both.
-
Time to get those flails out.

My point. Is it a Melty Brain or a SS?
-
Melty Brain, like Feeblemind in Nar AI 2.3. Sheck Spinners are legal anyway.
-
hm...
I will enter. Prepare for something epic.
-
Meh...
-
Unrealistic DSL?
Meh, Ill give it a go.
-
this will give odd results.
-
I have an idea for this, now just to refine it.
-
i have no idea at all...
-
i have no idea at all...
I dont have a clue on what to build either.
-
I know exactly what I'm going to build.

Same, but I REALLY want to build something for this :mrgreen:
-
its funny the interest this is growing when a few days ago there was a debate about DSL not being realistic enough :P
-
Sheck spinner? Curses D:
Will be interesting to see what the bots turn out like though.
-
# Realistic rule DOES NOT APPLY
Awesome.
-
Uploaded my entry earlier today. I think there's gonna be some interesting entries with the realism rules removed.
-
I might try to make something.
-
Are flail shell spinners allowed?
-
I'm guessing they are.
-
Looks interesting. We'll see....
-
hecko stranger lol
good to see you back around again
as for this BOTM.. still cant think of anything really "out there" yet
-
Welcome back Mad. How was your 3 (?) month hiatus?
Now about that BOTM...
I have an idea but I'm not sure how to build it.
-
Looks interesting. We'll see....
:O
-
Winning bot has a giant heart on it.
Yep, I'm calling it.
-
Welcome back Mad!
-
Looks interesting. We'll see....
:D
oh hai
-
Welcome back, Mad. =D How's things going at your end?
I'm working on the splash at the moment. Unless I can find some way of refining it further.
-
Hmmm....
(https://gametechmods.com/TournamentFiles/botm/oct10/001.jpg)
Dang! Looks like I used up my unrealistic shell spinner already. Gonna be tough to come up with something else for this...
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that every DSL BOTM ACAMS has done has not used the realistic rule; it's nothing new. But remember that just because your bot doesn't have to be realistic doesn't mean it CAN'T be realistic.
-
pretty much you either do something like that ^^^
or build realistic
you dont get any bonus points for having "2 stacked ants" on your splash
-
You don't strictly get bonus marks for stuff like that. It's more things like a clean setup, good looks and efficient building that people look out for. That and memes, eh Click? =P
-
you missed the point I was making (and click made too)
if you build unrealistically you have to really do something with it like Clicks above shell spinner
you either go all out on un-realism or stay realistic to do well.. things like a realistic robot with stacked batteries isnt goign to make people go crazy over it..
-
Hi. I'm new to BOTM. I've built a bot that I want to submit. What is required to submit it?
-
The rules up front ;)
-
do you send the bot? or do you just send a picture of the bot?
-
Picture of the bot, normally. You can put the bot up on the BOTM Exchange afterwards, I believe, though I've not done that myself.
-
ok thanks
-
Argh. I can't seem to get a good Splash that I like for my bot. I'll work on it a bit more tomorrow.
-

Heh. I can't seem to get a good bot that I like for my splash. I had a kind of cool idea for an all-terrain shell spinner for the Mars Base arena, but first it was a Havok bomb and then it was an AGOD bomb. Probably won't be entering this one... :(
-
Finally got a decent (I think) Splash done. Entry submitted.
-
Midnight tomorrow!
Then next month, you will only have about 3 weeks!
-
Oh, of course. It's February, there's only 28 days. What a sudden change of pace. =P
-
I entered a quick 30 min design.
