OK, I'm in...
Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...

I guess I could build something, but about the parts: Are even DSL/Stock combinations allowed?

Very nice, S-32.  Cool design.
 
BTW: ACAMS I thought the builders of the entries were to be incognito?
Input is appreciated. :)

You guys, 'Upload' your entries, so ACAMS can present them all 'anonymously' (for unbiased voting).
Input is appreciated. :)

i prefer the splash entry method than the uploader. but then again im a newbie and ACAMS is an administrator so he probably knows whats best.
I blame physics.

We will use splash entry method 99% of the time, but with no more rules than we had this time I thought the secret entry method was best.
 
Deadline to get your entries in is Midnight Sunday 28th.

I think that MadBeaver and maybe Rojo are going to enter too.
 
BTW: I think that secret entries are better for objectivity.
Input is appreciated. :)

Well go make a splash and get your secret entry in before the deadline.....MadBeaver and Rojo need to hurry, after all it is the bot of the MONTH contest and NOT the semi annual bot contest.

So far I only have one entry from S32.....I thought sure Venko would have one in by now.
 
Those that have your bot ready need to make a splash, zip it and upload it.
