That bot has custom parts other than the cannon. Is that legal?

So.... A BOTM dedicated to cannons?
...
This just seems rather... Bland.

I mean, it makes as much sense as allowing cheatbot2 for a BOTM, but like... Cannons for a theme?
Ehh....

I dunno', I might get suckered into making something.

For someone with a giant robot as avatar, you are being remarkably calm...

also nonsense. You can do plenty of awesome stuff with cannons.

I shall enter this time.

Cannons? Bland? Nonsense. And the custom cannons rule means you can go slightly wild and make a bullet heck machine with ease.

And if someone makes a Bullet Hell bot, it BETTER be Touhou-themed.

Well, to make a Gurren Laggan the rules would have to allow for giant drills, not canons.

There are quite a bit of mecha with guns in Gurren Lagann... they just get less screentime than the protagonist's.

Or just make a cannon that shoots drills.

Well, the Dai-Gunzan would work I guess, but it'd be hecka difficult to actually build a passable replica.

Well, it seems we have a multibot entry!
I didn't mean for that to happen, but since it has and I can't see any reason in the rules to stop it, it THEY will be accepted.

Touhou games, for the most part, are bullet heck, Gradius-style.
What are you talking about?

Well, bot built, splash made and sent.

Been a long time since I participated... it's not as awesome as I thought I would do, but it's pretty cool nevertheless.
