New contest idea.
« on: August 25, 2008, 12:20:01 AM »
I just had an idea for a new contest like the BOTM, except is is centered on how well the person named there robot. It is basically the best named robot award, and people would submit robots just like for BOTM, then people on the forums would vote on who they think the best named robot was. So people are not voting on how well the bot was designed for battles, it would be perhaps how well it skin matches its' name or its shape matches its name.

Any comments on this new idea?
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

another idea branching off yours is that the contest holder issues a name for a bot, and contestants build a bot that tries to fit in wiy
th that name; then people vote one which one suites the most.

That sounds cool too, any one of ours would work, I just want a competition in which the focus is the name, and the way it fits into the bots design.

i don't think man manu fully understands the concept.

you still build a bot like you normally would but, the robot who's name best suits the robot wins.
