OK, I give up......discuss, but don't say which is yours.
-
Love #6. :gawe:
-
#6 Made me laugh
-
#6 was pretty funny. But it didn't actually get my vote.
-
#6 made me lol
-
Anyone else notice #6 says "$5 says it doesn't win" in small text?
Anyway, I like #1, #2, and #7.
-
I think i can guess who #2, #6 and #3 are :P
I quite likes #2, #6 and #7
-
Wish I could vote for something besides #2 because I know it's useless in battle (havok) but nothing else comes close to the building skill presented.
-
Wait, you think the giraffe bot displays the most building skill?
-
I suspect Sage may be trolling. I also suspect I know who made #6. But I'm not telling, that would enrage Mr. ACAMS. :gawe:

I know who made #5, but whatever.

I also vote 6, entirely for the lulz and WTF factor.
ALSO: Zounds ! Naryar IS NOT voting for the most efficient bot ! THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN !

How do you not? You make an outline of a giraffe or thereabouts and then make the bot like it's on it's side. When your done put a snapper motor in and wire it to flip it onto its wheels. Simple.

If we told you who built them, people would vote against people who win all the time. JoeBlo suffered this a couple of times a while back.

BOTM winners don't always win because they are combat efficient.
Theres more then 1 key factor that decides a winner.

Judging on combat effectiveness, yes, but vote/popularity wise, I can see it coming last due to the lack of originality and terrible build quality and a not so great splash
-

That and you totally know who made it... I think.

Geice Guys I totally made #8.
#1: Whoa, it destroyed all those bots (Mutiny II surprised me), and the Redbirds have a cool placement. Gets my vote.
#2: Wow, Death Trap with irons AND a ramplate, all on one axle mount?! Plus it's REALLY up to the weight limit, though the name could use more work, but what does that matter? Gets my vote.
#3: Creative srimech; haven't seen any of those in a while, usually it's invertibility on most bots. The Z-tek drive isn't something you see everyday, either! Gets my vote.
#4: YES, a splash that doesn't hurt my eyes! Plus it's very original with the sledgehammers; gets my vote.
#5: Futurama is awesome. More frightening than Zoidberg naked. XD Those battleshots are impressive as well. Gets my vote.
#6: This is so original and so hilarious. Gets my vote.
#7: Whoa, it got 4348 points on Win! Win! WIN! in 6 seconds? o_O I usually see that kind of score between two LW HS in a 3-minute match! Gets my vote.
Umm, uh-oh...do I abstain from voting, then?
-
no. 6 FTW. XD
-
I honestly don't know what you guys see in #6...
-

I see a giraffe, a giraffe bot, and some curvy text.

I'm inclined to agree. It's not even that well-built.

Everything. It doesn't even have spots! You can't call it a giraffe if there's no spots! I'd rather have something like #1, #2, or #7 win.

I feel the same way. If you're gonna build an artbot in stock, the very least you can do is give it a half-decent skin.
-
#6 because it made me laugh and it isn't an HS.
-
I voted for 6 because it has humor and we have never seen anything like it before.
-
#6 is hilarious, and ANYTHING is better than a generic HS. It would be about 20% cooler if it was a pony instead of a giraffe though.
-

I mean the "and we have never seen anything like it before." part, as people have made weird-ass robots like that in the past.
-
I voted for 6 only because I don't see anything combat-worthy this time around, not even #2 (seriously I've tried the 4-RAD spinner with irons before, and it sucks compared to using 4 Z-teks instead).
-
I had an idea to enter a rectangular, brown-colored bot called "Planking Done Right", I regret not entering it now XD
6 is win btw.
-
Who's your favourite and least favourite? :)bigparty
-
Favorites : 6 for sheer lolwut potential and 2 (which is TOTALLY NOT some three-letter-name members') for cool looks.
Less favorite : 3 and 5, neither original nor cool looking nor combat efficient
-
Favourite: 6
Least Favourite: 3
-
#6 is the best, because everything else is really generic, and I think we need a bit of a laugh on here. :)
If it doesn't win, I will actually be upset XD

-
Favorite: #5 (It has a nice splash and those look like some mighty impressive battleshots)
Least Favorite: #3 (Decent splash but poor battle performance and build quality)
And I don't like #6 personally :P Splash is too crowded and the bot isn't very good for an artbot.
-
I have a feeling I know who built 5. Possibly. And unlike everyone else, don't really know who built 6 XD
-
I think Axis might win cos its a cool splash.
-
Should I be surprised that practically everyone built a tribar-spam HS? Anyways, gotta decide between the flipper and the giraffe.
-
Joe, your so funny.
Should I be surprised that practically everyone built a tribar-spam HS?
At least every bot isn't a pop-up.

I lol'd at JB.

Joe is hiding his mad

Getting bored now... :ermm:
-
Voting is still open for another 2 days. Chill out XD
-
I know but it seems to be taking ages. Maybe it's cos I'm impatient...
-
Meh, It's not that long.
-
If you say so...
-
You'll get used to it.
-
Voting ends tomorrow.
-
If the giraffe does end up on the front page, I would like an official inquiry. It's not even that well-built for an artbot. And the skin's pretty poor.

Someone understands my pain..
It will turn my favorite thing on this forum into a joke D:
-
The thing is, I wouldn't mind an artbot winning if it was any good, such as the Christmas Reindeers, or Click's Ice Phoenix a couple of months ago. If the giraffe had a half-decent skin, then at least it'd have somthing in its favour. I can't be the only person that didn't find it funny.

I had vote for 5. 6 is nowhere near impressive.
-
I had vote for 5. 6 is nowhere near impressive.
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"
-

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.

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.
-
*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*
-
Good thing I voted 5 then.
And stop hiding in the shadows you. Makes you look like some old pervert.
-
Voted bot 5, not really because the splash but because it is a good rupting flipper, but the splash is cool too.
-
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.
-
Voted bot 5, not really because the splash but because it is a good rupting flipper, but the splash is cool too.
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?

It looks like there's two additional wedges under the blades, before they meet the wedges that you can see.

Whats funny, is that just about all entries this time around were slapped together.

That's the back of the Small Wedge components. You can see them because the DDT's are pointing down at quite a large angle.

Also seeing people's backlash to the Giraffe, changed to 5. If this means a generic HS wins instead, I hold you all responsible for my bad mood. :P

Its cool to see others proving #5 works.. its always the problem with "claiming" splashes.. you cant be 100% sure.. (its something I had to hurdle with my entries like Engage) but this is something that could be handy for future stock flippers..

Did you try to replace the 9 pinks with just a black and a pink and see if flipping power was changed? I really don't think there should be a difference between using a black instead of wasting weight on 8 pinks.

I tried equal weight with super-volts only (3 Supervolts total)
And it couldnt equal the SFTW flip in #5's splash.. It had loads of force but this seems to be something new loading up pinks to gain large hangtime..

It's a fascinating theory indeed...even I tested it out myself, as I didn't really want evidence from Mechadino seeing as how he used a black and one pink on one bot and a black and nine pinks on the other, which is not what I meant at all...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67070screenshot_66.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39097screenshot_72.png)
From about 5 minutes worth of testing with both bots...I don't think the difference in height between the two is enough to make a conclusion about number of batteries vs power output rate different from what it is already.
-
TBH, This BOTM is pretty much a disaster.
Though it is nice that someone pointed out you can stack pinks for "more power".
......
Now we just need to make a Pinkie Pie powered pop-up. It will not only do crazy amounts of damage, but also throw things around the room.

Thats odd I couldn't get that height testing with Blacks
Though the Pinks are reaching higher still in your example..
Nobody has matched that screenshot in the skull arena on #5's splash with Blacks alone have they?

Why is everyone testing agenst Big Dog? #5's splash has Da Dog in it.

Ok, so I tore off Crazy Gadget's side-ram plates, and 3 irons, and replaced the section of it's chassis that holds Blacks, with stacked Pinks.
Le result:

Gadget actually hits a heck of a lot harder now.
THERES SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

:O What has #5 created?
I think pinks must be laughing to themselves right about now after all the insults they got in the past..
-
:O What has #5 created?
Entry #5 needs to win now, because this is truly a hilarious find.
-
Though the Pinks are reaching higher still in your example..
Only by a little bit, and definitely not enough to convince me that more batteries really do help with supplying power. Flip heights vary wildly anyways depending on when the enemy bot is flipped. On that note, I did get a flip on Poptart that tossed it up to the ceiling with the 8 pinks bot, but didn't get a screenshot due to bad reaction time and camera angle, but I just felt that was luck.

Meh I'm still not inclined to believe the theory due to popup hits, like flippers, varying so much due to when the weapons are fired, or to put it another way, luck. Is there some sort of program that displays the speed that burst motors go at or something?
-
J made a separate topic for this, as apparently it keeps the BOTM section "clean". (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7751.0.html)
-
Chances of getting something that is like #5's flip shots are about a 100 to 1 chance, cos I have tested with lots of cobinations of batteries, bots, lengths of the extenders and I only got about three or four good flips.

Im sorry I was unaware you were the expert on Ra2
Quickly someone get this man an "Advanced Veteran" title

but I wanna change my vote from the giraffe to the flippy thing now.

Hahahaha I'm excited for tomorrow morning.
Will Mr. Wylde get to keep his title? :gawe:

Why don't I have an Advanced Veteran title yet? It's pink just like me, so I totally need it!
Also, I have a feeling the person who made number 6 is totally going to get robbed of his win. I don't know what everyone has against joke bots all of the sudden.

Pretty much everyone is rolling dice, and they just-so-happen to get totals of 5.
-
5 is suddenly getting all this attention from the pinks claim. At least it's not a HS.
-
Why don't I have an Advanced Veteran title yet? It's pink just like me, so I totally need it!

As do I- never thought I'd agree with Glass Joe on something, but there you go. That's what happens when Giraffes are involved :approve:

A big congratz to my brony, J. And I agree about this being the funniest BOTM ever.
-
I'd like my five dollars now.

Can I just say to all the people that have said stuff like, "Oh, #3 looks, rubbish, the splash is terrible, the bot is not gonna win any battles, moan moan moan", I don't think your first BOTM entry was a world beater either was it? I've only just got on the site so I don't know how good the competition is.

Lol I thought 5 was WB because he had a bot with a similar name and bot type in his showcase.
I thought #1 was Hard Bot, and that #6 was Scourge.
Got the four others right though, Fracture's was a very easy guess due to the use of Pytosis in the splash.
-
Oh god no!

There is a whole archive of BOTM's you could have looked through to gauge the competition. So not "knowing how good the competition is" is hardly an excuse.
-
R.I.P BOTM.
You were fun while you lasted.
Oh god no!
^ Summed it up the best ^
I might leave for the duration of the month now so I dont have to see it on the home page..

Firecracker is actually the oldest robot in this months competition..

I came across the "pink loading" effect back in 2009.. then basically I pushed it to the back of the bot lab and forgot about it..
I remembered it this past month so I decided to finally give it a shot at competition... all my reactions and investigations were legit, I knew nothing about how it works or anything.. I just took a guess at amount of batteries outputting at one time as its similar to ants in DSL..
So a potential building strategy 2 years in the making was beaten by a robot that vaguely resembles a giraffe... yay :ermm:
(all that said I still think NFX should have won.. even though I dont want his mitts on my records :P)
-
I knew I recognized the bot, it was the paintjob and seeing Da Dog miles in the air :P
-
Is the poll ended for anyone else?
It says its still going on my computer??
-
Voting closes: Today at 08:35:29 AM
Methinks ACAMS messed up :o
-
It does still say it's going on for me. There's over two hours left to vote.
I still don't think the giraffe should have won. It might be slightly funny, but it's not built terribly well, and it's not even skinned well. As artbots go, it's a pretty bad one, I'm sorry.
-
I thought #1 was Hard Bot
I find that very insulting :rage
I'm annoyed that the giraffe won. It's not that I'm against artbots, but like NFX said, it isn't a very good one.
-

Exactly, I mean, if you compare it to Clickbeetle's Ice Phoenix that won a few months ago, it look like a pretty poor effort.
-
Actually, I think he tried to make one of those damn horses and the game would not let him keep a short neck so he called it a giraffe instead.
-
I thought #6 was Scourge.
O_o
I wish XD
Someone tell Jonzu I voted for his bot. Make sure to tell him that I was the ONLY ONE :gawe:
-
Hahahaha 69 total votes.
I got more than double of my votes last time...with this logic, my next BOTM entry will have at least 22 votes! :D
-
Can NFX and I combine our votes to save BOTM?
-
I'd gladly say yes.
-
If I had voted for 5 they would have been tied...
:trollface
-
It could work, it could work.. look I even expertly combined the 2 splashes..

How did you make that conclusion? At first I thought you were going to guess R1885 for that one...
Wait, the giraffe won? ASDFGEICE NOOOOOOOOOO
He shall be buried with all of his creations.

I guess a 6 wheeled pony with an ax will win next month!

Please rename to Joke of the month

trololol. Nice work, Joe. =D I wonder if using pink batteries might have been a bad move, considering how phobic people have been of using them in anything above AW. But if it works, it's a nice find.
Hopefully this month's BOTM will return to a more serious nature, rather than voting humor for the sake of voting humor.
-
What's so bad about joke bots? Seriously the butthurt is so strong in this thread, I can smell it.
Also, I don't see any BOTM splash on the front page? Is that just me?
-

Reminds me of when I built a LW flipper with three DDTs, and a load of Darkrat batteries powering them. It was able to toss even the heaviest opponents clean into the air :approve:
-
A) It was originally a giraffe from the start. I had no intention of making it a Pony(Giraffes are funnier, yo)
B) I didnt expect mine to win, as I literally slapped it together at the very last minute.
C) I forgot to appropriately skin it.
D) Just let Joe make a bot on the spot and say he won instead, as it would make everyone happy.
E) August's BOTM was a train-wreck from the start.
-
what the hell

Congrats to J with #6 GiraffeBot
O_o
I really think the GiraffeBot should had not won. Yes it was funny, but alot of people put work into these bots, and Giraffe is just a silly joke bot.

Why, exactly?
I'd have voted for number 5 personally, number 2 is quite impressive as well
-

Because it's the only one that isn't a horizontal spinner. (besides the flipper)

And the popup.
But so what, it still sucks.
Mildly amusing at best, but it certainly doesn't deserve to win.

Hey, I was warning you guys from the start.
I guess we'll have to live with it. At least it's bearable. We'll survive.
-
I must say, it looks stunning on the home page :rolleyes:
-
I don't even notice it.
-
ACAMS, can we please re-do the August BOTM?
-
I'll tell you what, I'll let you give the giraffe a decent skin and make the splash for it again. I've got no problem with it at least being skinned well.
-

I did say that I literally made it at the very last minute.
(I forget to check-up on the BOTM dates now and then)
Also, I dont think ACAMS will let me re-submit the splash.
Though I hate that I didn't save the .PSD for it >__>

giraffe won fair and square, I don't see what this bitching is about

1) We didn't know whose it was
2) Do you want to not be criticized in the future?

Hardly bitching, it won fair enough, it's just beyond me why it did when there where much better bots to vote for.

I am in complete agreement with this, but for an artbot, the giraffe was pretty bad. If it had a decent skin, then there might have been more of a reason to vote for it.

Once again:
I did say that I literally made it at the very last minute.
If I remembered to make a bot earlier, I would have made a decent skin for it.

IT'S NOT AN ARTBOT. IT'S A JOKE BOT. It's funny. That's why it won. That's all there is too it.

This.
Joke-bots don't need a decent skin to begin with, if its just a flat-out wacky build.
...Kinda' like that dinosaur I made for that other BOTM.

BOTM is so controversial. It's pretty awesome, like a reality show or something.
For those of you that are bitching about the Giraffe bot winning: Step up your game and enter the next BOTM. The only way to combat joke bots is to really make something awesome for BOTM. Aug BOTM was kinda boring unfortunately, and this is the result. J, you won fair and square, good work. Don't make excuses for it and don't let people taint it. By all means, it is not your "fault" that you won. You let a burst of creativity capture the hearts of the voters and your cards won this round.
Next time... you wont be so lucky. :evilsmile:
-
Aug BOTM was kinda boring unfortunately
This is why it doesn't feel like I truly won, as I wasn't up agenst cool people like Click and Joe.
Now the time I entered Sonic Rainboom, THAT would have been a win.
-

But, Joe made number 5. :P
-
Yeah, you beat Joe and NFX, the two people who have won the most BOTM.
-
Things may have been blown out of proportion a bit so I want to set some things right so people dont think im pulling a GF93 or something..
1) I hold nothing against J for his entry, its not his fault it won, even in the splash he had no faith in it (maybe everyone wanted 5 dollars?) So please dont take anything the wrong way I had no intent of offense
2) My comments weren't "sour grapes" over loosing.. I am happy to be beaten by a better robot any month.. I accepted a loss to NFX (yes I, like many.. knew what one was his from the start) from when I first saw the robots.. At least I can be thankful it kept my 3 Straight BOTM record stayed in tact..
3) My reactions mainly were caused over being given so much RA2:Backlash over the years for the high quality of presentation ("eye candy") helping me over the finish-line on numerous occasions.. yet I saw many of those people all too happy to vote for a robot that had no skill or real effort put into it... It was basically a metaphorical "middle finger"..
tl:dr
Sorry for my involvement in the proclaimed "bitching" hope you didnt find it offensive J..
But dare make a mockery of my lovely BOTM competition again and I will be forced to wag my finger at you.... then you'll be sorry
-
so people dont think im pulling a GF93 or something..
Was I the only one who burst out laughing just now?
maybe everyone wanted 5 dollars?
Actually, that was 5$ if it didn't win.
were caused over being given so much RA2:Backlash
Joe, your so funny.
over the years for the high quality of presentation ("eye candy")
*Actually voted 5 because fan of Futurama*
yet I saw many of those people all too happy to vote for a robot that had no skill or real effort put into it
Joe, its because giraffes are funny. That, or everyone voted #6 for teh lulz.
hope you didnt find it offensive J..
*Never did from the start*
But dare make a mockery of my lovely BOTM competition again and I will be forced to wag my finger at you.... then you'll be sorry
For some reason, this section made me LOL.
But don't worry, I don't really plan on making more giraffes any time soon.
-
Yeah, you beat Joe and NFX, the two people who have won the most BOTM.
You seem to be forgetting Click. =] Joe has won 10 BOTM's, Click has won 9. I'm tied with Sage on 5, but Sage got there before I did, and collaborated on two of them. Once with Madiaba, and once with JoeBlo.
-
Actually, that was 5$ if it didn't win.
Exactly.. you bet the forum $5 that it wouldnt win.. and it did win, so you lost your bet..
So you owe all 22 voters $0.22 each..
Thats what you get for being such a high roller with your hundreds of cents....
You seem to be forgetting Click. =] Joe has won 10 BOTM's, Click has won 9.
:O And here I was worried about you.. I didnt know Click was so close (again).. when did this happen?
I count mine personally as 9.5 since I only came up with the idea and did the skinning/ splash on Siege Tank, 123 did the building..
Same would go for sage with Madiaba's team up I guess
But Blitzkreig earns us each a full victory.. we both put in loads of effort each into that one..
