Same, 5 at least had a well designed splash and some nice battleshots.

And it is educational.

TBH I know who built all but the first two, so I'm going to show how I got to my conclusions but not what they are.

The Pytosis in the last one is really suggestive.
The hammer one has a nice simple splash and clean building style which I can recognize.
Giraffe is pretty darn obvious
Sparky seems pretty n00by so I'm naturally going to guess it was done by a new member, right?
Futuramabot has a name which I recognize from a showcase and similar chassis design.
The 2nd one has as very distinct splash style which I have seen a lot fairly recently and very strong build quality.
1st one isn't very clean and has a fairly bad splash so I can guess who it is pretty easily.

I voted for 7. It looks pretty cool and I like the idea of anti-popup designs.

If the giraffe had more of an effort put into the paint job I would have voted for it. It's not like it is hard to paint a bot. Seriously, even a paintjob done with MS Paint would have been acceptable.

If it wins BOTM, it will be an ultimate underdog upset. But I don't think it really deserves it. It is only a matter of time before someone makes a MLP bot in this fashion.

At least it's not another HS. The flipper could've got my vote, but, yeah. XD

If the giraffe wins, there should be a message on the front page along with it reading "This is what happens when you submit generic BoTM entries"

Despite it being a crap machine, people are still gonna vote for the girrafe because it is "Funny"

<sarcasm detected>

I think they're probably gonna vote for it just because it isn't an HS. But if I were doing that, I'd vote for the flipper.

FOTEPX probably just randomly agreed with you without even reading what you said. :P

3 get's a sympathy vote from me, the winner was probably already chosen.

Nope, I honestly think that it's real different and deserves it.

I mean, come on, when was the last time you saw a giraffe ANYWHERE on this fourm?

There have been two actually well-built and well-skinned MLP bots that didn't win and one really crappy MLP bot that didn't win, but all of them had much stiffer competition than this.

Really? I completely agreed with it. Every other bot IS boring or pretentious.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #95 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:31:44 PM »

*creeps out of shadows* MNB is back too?! :D This one makes me happy.

Plus I hate everyone who voted for 6. Except k343. 2 and 7 are both the best, too bad 7's splash is g-hey. *disappears*

powerrave · « **Reply #96 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:37:00 PM »

Good thing I voted 5 then.

And stop hiding in the shadows you. Makes you look like some old pervert.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #97 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:45:50 PM »

Voted bot 5, not really because the splash but because it is a good rupting flipper, but the splash is cool too.

Mecha · « **Reply #98 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:51:23 PM »

1: Looks damaging, messy splash tho.
2: Cool, nice and compact. Gets my vote!
3: Why does it say Sparky on the splash?
4: I like it, but could of had better weapons.
5: Awesome middle weight launcher, Looks great!
6: Made me laugh.
7: Funny idea, Cool looking bot too.
Firecracker was a close 2nd.

You don't have the knowledge to vote for this BOTM. :P

I'm kidding, but you should still check again. Which I did too, and I just noticed that it looks like it has 4 wedges; is that just an error with the image?
