I've made something for this. ;)
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

Hm, I might give this a shot :D

I mean, it's Stock, meaning I don't have to download DSL or anything :D

Scourge's splash would be a dead giveaway.  XD  I mean c'mon, it's going to have Umino or some anime character in it right?  :D

I... uhh...

Yeah, you got me ^^'
I'm really that predictable :3
But it's also my most outstanding quality, if you get my meaning O:
If they know it's mine, they probably won't vote for it, so I need a different tactic

(Just to see if I can actually make the darn bot first XD)

You could also attempt to imitate someone else's splash style. I still have to get a working prototype running.

JD did a pretty good job of imitating a JoeBlo splash this BOTM... I really thought Joe made that.

Working prototype up and running! Now just to test it out, and give it a name and splash.

I wouldnt call that imitating.. JD has some good candy skills of his own.. just doesn't enter very much so people haven't picked up on it to much..

He name doesnt always come to mind when trying to figure out splashes.. yet mine does despite not entering the last 2-3 BOTM's :P

I need to do something different with mine. It's getting too predictable. Hopefully I'll do something different enough, once the prototype's working,

I finished the bot and am now working on the splash. Should be done by tonight :D

btw, do I submit the bot itself as well, or just the splash? I know, it's a stupid question, but this is my first time doing this ^^'

It's not just the quality of the candy, it's also the text layout, the color scheme, and the big closeup shot of the bot in the middle, stuff like that.  It just looks like one of your splashes.  The only thing that threw me off was the fact that it's a Robot Wars replica, which you've never been known to do.
