BOTM Theme Ideas (August)
« 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.
DSL-IRL is the libtard’s meta. Go drink more soylent, retard! #BLUELIVESMATTER

This'll be representing GTM for an entire month, so I want something big.
Gigaheavywieghts!
We don't have any use for that weight class otherwise.
I have several opinions.

I know it's an obvious answer from me but maybe a prehistory theme?

Personally, I don't mind what the end result is going to be, since I'm unlikely to enter. It still doesn't mean that I cannot share ideas. 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.

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!

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
