Despite the fact that V3 uses piglet drive, it's the better replica and the better splash.

So yeah. Dunno if Resetti entered though...

Voted for 2.

Resetti made the second one, and Maz/sylandro/naryar made the first one.

Well, my plan was to enter my old V3 replica, but I lost the files and I can't be arsed to build another one with college stuff at hand. :<

Was that the Siamese Triplets thing?  It's a shame isn't it?  Would have made for a great laugh at everyone else's expense if there had been two V3's.

[Edit] And what do you know, Sonny's Barry is also on that page. And sadly, that looks more proper than this one.

Has a robot with piglets for drive ever won BOTM before? We are looking at a historic event. Also maybe a colossal failure.

2 bots. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.


If you say that and you weren't one of the 2 entries I think I'm allowed to laugh at you.


Also I was planning Havoc but time constraints recently..

Also piglet drives aren't actually that bad on lightweights if you use a good wheel.

No it still bad since its slower than other motors for the same weight

Depends on size constraints. I used two in Cataclysm when I couldn't fit any others in and they were fine.

It depends on the weightclass you use them on. They work best on LWs and MWs.

They are both crap.

However,  this is a comparison between the worst of two turds, where one is just a wet steamy pile while the other is explosive diarrhea.

  Space constraints.  As you can see, it would be impossible to fit astro's side by side.  Piglets have a very tiny collision mesh; they can fit into tight spaces and go almost all the way out of the chassis.  I use them all the time in my replicas and just make them the power equivalent of an NPC or whatever (of course I didn't do that here)


*takes a bow* I'm surprised really, I thought someone would build a replica of Johnny 5 or some other real-life robot and win this.  Disappointed even that it was so uncontested (no offence Maz).

If anything it's even harder than DSL standard. The easiest BOTM would be IRL non-replicas.

If anything it's even harder than DSL standard. The easiest BOTM would be IRL non-replicas.

The last two have been 'aircraft/spaceship' and 'anything goes' in which a freaking AT-AT a massive Battlestar Galactica ship won.

Before that was DSL3 beta, which people are still getting to grips with, and Stock UHW, and who the hell builds UHWs?

With the sheer scope and potential for entries of any robot that exists in real life (not just combat robots, guys), you'd surely expect more than 2 f***ing entries. If I'd have known that nobody else would have bothered and that it would be me vs Resetti, the freaking replica master, I wouldn't have just pooped out an entry hoping it wouldn't get noticed, I'd have actually made an effort. No, now I just look crap. Cheers.

just have to say, youre sooo cute when you try to be condescending.  :heart_smiley: :heart_smiley:

why even assume a botm is going to get more than a few entries at most? like the most entries botm usually ever gets is around 8 IIRC, and even then there was people looking at all the entries and cringing at the worst ones (example (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=6053.0)).
