Title: IDEA: Robot Skinning contest
Post by: SteveM4 on March 02, 2011, 11:21:15 AM

Here's an idea.

I put a robot in the attachment (Say, a Havok) and whoever skins the chassis best wins.
There is no prize, just glory.

What do you think?

Just to see what response a contest like this would get.

I suppose this could work. The Photoshop guys would probably be placed quite highly.

ACAMS actually did an official bot skinning contest.

Yeah, I think it would be cool to get back. Which is the one where LRA2 cheated?

So, is that a yes for this to be a background competition?

^That is kinda right.. I see what your getting at but if we allow someone to make a voting tournament outside the ruleset then you know everyone will make one.. same as AI packs last month.

So toss about the idea and have fun discussing it but dont go running off and making one for now..
