I like the criteria this month. Should be interesting.

Post by: Fracture on September 02, 2011, 06:09:26 PM
Yessssssss Stock

Is the emphasis on the Crawler part of it or the No Wheels part, e.g. do you literally want a crawler bot or just any type of bot as long as it has no wheels?

Aww crack. Didn't count on this kind of stuff. I don't think that I can pull off building a crawler... Especially since I am bad at stock. :/

My start page is the unread topics or the forum page, NOT the main page :P And you people are seriously overreacting if you think I will recoil in rage and disgust if I see a crawler on the main page.

Actually I should just enter this time, and win. The irony will probably be tangible :P

Hahahah. You can add an additional twist to the irony by using nothing but red extenders.  Thus, causing Sage to shriek in terror and stay away from GTM for a month.

I'm not going to enter this month's BOTM. Specifically, for 2 reasons.
Reason 1, being that I figured I would give Joe a break after that Giraffe incident, and not submit something bizarre, and let him get another easy win.
Reason 2 being.....
AAM, BFE and hax mode is allowed
With this allowed, I'm just flat-out out-matched.

ACAMS, you crack me up.
Believe it or not, but I actually could make a pony-themed crawler.
But like I said, in a competition that allows bot editing, I just cant compete with that.

Reason 1, being that I figured I would give Joe a break after that Giraffe incident,

10 wins vs 1 says I can still win just fine with you still entering.. dont get too overconfident now... :P
But you got so worked up over it..... And your always so happy when you win.....

There's no saying you have to fight fire with fire (or BFE with BFE, in this case).  If it's lulzy enough, people will vote for it even if it doesn't use AAM/BFE.

But then I would probably more rage then laughter, and it just wouldn't be that funny.....

If you don't, I will. I'll probably enter anyway, just 'cause I keep hearing complaints that I never build anything. Time to go learn Hax Mode...

I'll just take my giraffe chassis, shrink + "tweak" it slightly, then give it motors and junk to justify it being a crawler.

Build some thing N.O.T S.P.E.L.T like that and read a few guides before building. Dress up the splash as well. Who knows, you could suprise everyone.

ACAMS seems to define a crawler as a wheel-less bot...

Means we can enter walkers, bumble balls and other glitch bots.

Since I built probably the first crawler ever, I know what a crawler is, and I will expect to see a CRAWLER entered.

No, you just don't know what a FBS is. And plenty of newfags will not see what I mean by FBS/crawler hybrid, so nope.

And I doubt another will enter a FBS/crawler hybrid anyways.

And no, it isn't an MLP-Bot.
