Title: BOTM Theme Ideas (August)
Post by: 09090901 on June 12, 2018, 07:50:54 PM: Hey gamers, new system.

Post what theme/meta/gimmick (or no gimmick) you would like to see for the upcoming BOTM, then towards the end of the month we'll put all the sensible ideas into a poll, and then everyone votes on which theme/meta they like the best.

If nobody posts any ideas, then August's BOTM will be decided by staff.

Gigaheavywieghts!
We don't have any use for that weight class otherwise.

I have few such as crawlers, sport themed bots or a more heavy challenge based bot of the month like everyone has to build a bot from a pre-made chassis.

How about an RWRA2 BOTM
Why?
Full body spinners any meta. Now that would be fun to see. Or a challenge where you mist build a bot that is a certain shape like a triangle

I was thinking that last one for a tournament idea!

Because it has a lot of components

It would still look ridiculous. RWRA2 is for replicas. That's why pretty much no one uses it unless they want to live out fantasy matches. It's just bad for building with
