I'll probably enter. I say probably because I'm doing exams at the moment, but I should find the time.

I suppose we can add static weapons once we have our two different active damaging weapons ?

Anyways i'm off to create awesomeness.

It's hard to decide between 2 and 3. (I don't want to vote for my own, just because.)

I'll go with #3 since Sage won last time.

#2 Sage won 3 times a BOTM and it's enough !

Yes, I liked the secrecy. But, you guys should give someone else a chance.

If I compete, this won't happen again will it?

Well if you write "MADE BY SAGE" on the top of your entry in DarkCrystal it might happen.

Just be sure that we can't guess it's your entry...

LOLZ XD

There should be a Noobie BOTM & a Advanced BOTM to prevent those things?

roboman2444 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2009, 05:01:53 PM »

then what about the people who are halfway in between?(stupid comment)
yes say sage had a crap one that was special for some reason(replica?).he could put that in the noob one and his good ones in the advanced one.

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** June 02, 2009, 05:06:25 PM »

Sage does not build crap bots... not on purpose.

Anyways my bot is built. I just need to make it sexy now...

roboman2444 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 02, 2009, 05:10:49 PM »

Haha, if it happens to anyone it will be me, I think I'm ahead of you now.

I actually made a DSL AW for June, but never got around to skinning the thing somehow, and with a week left before the deadline decided I would let someone else win. Not to mention I seem to have not noticed the "AI parts allowed" disclaimer; mine was all stock.

We'll see if I can come up with anything for this one...

Bot_smasher · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:16:29 AM »

I joined. If I don't win this month, I'll join next month, and the next, and the next.... I will not give up until I win one.

^^Thats the idea isn't it? Hehe.

Welcome to the forums anyway. First things first, have a look around the place, get a feel for how things work around here and take a look at peoples bots in the showcase, and maybe learn from them. Then use whatever you've learned in your own showacase. Showcases are important. If you don't make one sooner or later, no one can tell you if your bots are any good or not, and no one can tell you how to improve, and if you never improve, you may never win BOTM...

No pressure though, have a look round first =)
