IDEA: Robot Skinning contest
« on: March 02, 2011, 11:21:15 AM »
Here's an idea.

I put a robot in the attachment (Say, a Havok) and whoever skins the chassis best wins.
There is no prize, just glory.

What do you think?
I do those awful YouTube videos.

I suppose this could work. The Photoshop guys would probably be placed quite highly.

ACAMS actually did an official bot skinning contest.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Yeah, I think it would be cool to get back. Which is the one where LRA2 cheated?

1) you pretty much havent mentioned any details

2)
You already have a tournament in discussion

^That is kinda right.. I see what your getting at but if we allow someone to make a voting tournament outside the ruleset then you know everyone will make one.. same as AI packs last month.

So toss about the idea and have fun discussing it but dont go running off and making one for now..

It would be cool to bring this back though.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
