Maybe we could try this idea again?

Idea for future BOTMs.  Everyone who wants to nominates one bot (not their own) that has been posted on the forum during the past month.  Anything is fair game, but since you can't nominate your own bot only the best/most original should get nominated.  Then we vote on the nominees for BOTM.

So it's not so much a building contest as an award open to all the recently posted bots.  Kinda like the Oscars or something.

Sage's idea sounds cool too, if we could get someone willing to do that, and able to select bots fairly.

Sorry about the bump, but we could probably do an Ironforge BOTM to get this started up again.

Maybe we could get BOTM back on for the next year. I've noticed that the community has been lately more active than back in 2013.

I've added a poll for January's BOTM bot restrictions.

If you want restrictions in addition to the weight class and components, vote for the closest match and leave a comment with the rest of the details.
If you don't see what you want, vote for other and post a description.

Dominating was planning on entering a Sentry Gun from TF2 but didn't finish in time.  It almost certainly would have won

What do you guys want for November's BOTM?

The first 9 months were spent going through all three major weight classes for the three major versions of RA2 (with a few variations on versions). This month, we did a Halloween theme and December is traditionally a Christmas theme. That just leaves November...

A Thanksgiving themed BOTM.

I originally thought this was a good idea until I thought about not everyone here is American and has Thanksgiving in November. Canadian Thanksgiving is in  mid-October, I believe.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I genuinely think the next botm should be less than lightweight (AW or BW). I think it'd be good to see what miniscule menaces are made.
