I guess I could build something, but about the parts: Are even DSL/Stock combinations allowed?
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 21, 2008, 05:55:01 PM
Anything....even custom made components just for this....anything goes!
 
BUT, time is running out so you better hurry.
 
 
We have one entry so far.

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

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

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.

Post by: ACAMS on September 24, 2008, 01:34:25 PM
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.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: Madiaba on September 24, 2008, 02:33:44 PM
I think that MadBeaver and maybe Rojo are going to enter too.
 
BTW: I think that secret entries are better for objectivity.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 24, 2008, 03:48:05 PM
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.

I have my bot, but ill make the splash tomorrow.

i can't wait to see the weird and wounderful delights that this month's BOTM will conjure up!

Post by: ACAMS on September 24, 2008, 05:00:49 PM
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.

AMAZING bot makers. They made tanks and stuff like that. One of em even made a robot that shat bricks :P

Post by: Somebody on September 24, 2008, 05:19:57 PM
Then why aren't they on any more?
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on September 24, 2008, 11:45:36 PM
I don't know. They were some of the original bot artists if I remember correctly.

Post by: infiniteinertia on September 25, 2008, 07:50:14 PM
i thought they were innovators but had nothing to do with stock whatsoever.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: Somebody on September 25, 2008, 09:19:53 PM
This BOTM doesn't have to be stock.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 25, 2008, 10:04:59 PM
They were around from like 04 - 06 with Madbeaver maybe being here a little longer.

How should we send you the splash? Should we put it in a zip file alongside the bot file and use the uploader?
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 26, 2008, 11:15:09 AM
Zip the splash ONLY and upload it.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: somestrangeguy on September 26, 2008, 04:22:54 PM
Entry sent.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 26, 2008, 05:20:13 PM
Two entries so far and I know madiaba has one ready, but I don't have a splash yet.
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: somestrangeguy on September 26, 2008, 05:48:36 PM
It appears that your "This time we will get lots of entries for BOTM" plan did not work as well as you tought?
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: Venko on September 26, 2008, 07:18:43 PM
I sended like 4-5 freaks for some packs, so dont expect a entry from me...
I dont care for winning some tournaments at all costs like some other people...
Title: BOTM - Oct 2008
Post by: ACAMS on September 26, 2008, 07:24:39 PM
You were one of the main builders in mind when I made it.......and THE main reason we have new rules on starting new tournaments, so enter, or don't because I don't care either.

Post by: ACAMS on September 28, 2008, 11:50:55 PM
MetalikVyper you need to make a splash and upload it......I don't need the .bot file. Get it in real quick so I can start voting.
 
 
Well I just noticed R1885 uploaded a .bot file too........You guy's need to read the rules.....there were only 4 or 5 and THE #1 rule should have told you!!!!!
 
#1 - Entry Splash MUST be .jpg
#2 - Splash can be no wider than 700 pxl
#3 - Splash can be no taller than 800 pxl
 
Y'all have untill noon tomorrow or I will take a screen shot and post it (unless you have custom components that crash my game)
 
 
EDIT:
 
OH CRAP........
 
System32 you did it too, but I found yours in the images folder
 
If anybody remembers the name of R1885's bot I think he uploaded it with the image uploader too.
 
You guy's make a splash BY NOON or we will only have 4 entries because you had plenty of time to read and follow the rules.
