I thought of an Idea for a contest. Here's what happens. 3 builders are selected (they don't have to be the best builders, even LRA2 could sign up), Each one makes a robot (it cannot be one already seen before), any weight class, any robot type in stock or DSL.
The builders make a splash of the robot, without a name. When they are finished, the builders send me the splash and I post it. you have until a certain date to submit a name idea. I will look at the name suggestions, and choose the ones that I think are the best. I will post the winners in another thread
What do you think? :-D
Signups:
1.
2.
3.

How you determine the winner bot? The one with most name votes? <-- wouldnt make sense.

People do this everyday in their showcases.

No, the winner is the person who come up for the best name for a bot (i.e. if one user comes up with the best name for the bot, their name idea will be the name for that bot). I will only allow 1 name by one user (i.e. if LRA2 makes 3 good name ideas, only one can be chosen, unless someone comes up with a better name for it, to make it fair).

So in this the Voters win? o_O?
Thats the impression I got from what you just said.

No, the voters that come up with best the name for each bot. :-D

What will this prove?

Creativity, who is the most creative (I guess).

maybe if you have the names to be sent in then yoi have a vote on all of them.

Lol, I never do... I always come up with a name while in painting the bot... :P
Ontopic:
I dont like this idea too much...
Its just like:
LiNcK: [Says name]
Natef: LiNcK Wins
LiNcK: Yay!!.. ... ...? -.-
Lost of time by me xP

Well, it's just an idea, so it might not happen, depending on what you guys say.

How about we do it 2 ways:
A person makes a name and people make a bot using the exact name and we vote, BOTM style.
A person makes a bot and people add a name and we vote, BOTM style.
-
I think that the second one is what Natef meant.

Right!

If you where to do it the way that S32 said then really it is a spin on bot of the month. I think its a good idea.

That is actually a pretty good idea. It's an interesting challenge making a bot based only on a name. It has to be a cool sounding, interesting, and/or bizarre name though. Like "Obstacle Force" or "Corn Flakes Box of Doom". Or "Spinner from the west II" :mrgreen: Making a bot based on a name like "Destroyer" would kind of defeat the purpose.
-
Yeah. That's why I'd like it. Or, we can rotate each time. So we'd have the "Name that bot" thing first, then we'd have that "Build to the name" thing second.

we could always talk to ACAMS to have those extra options added to the current building competition options ? you know how the winner of Bot Skinning Competition 4 got the chance to run the next one ?
