Post by: Wacky Bob on July 28, 2012, 05:36:02 PM
1) Not a fan of flippers, but it looks pretty good.

2) Never seen a bot advertised as a food product before, impressive build.

3) I wonder what ACAMS's reaction was when he saw this. Nice hat.

4) Don't have much to say about this one. I can't help but think the red ropes in the background look like red extenders.

5) Maybe a little too much effort into the splash. This must've taken lots of Axle and Snapper Loading.

6) Cool green Z-teks. I like the look of the axes on it.

Who to vote for...
Title: Re: Vote BOTM August 2012
Post by: Mr. AS on July 28, 2012, 07:05:02 PM
thoughts; predictions included

1- meh, probably not powerful enough to get oota's constantly, also emergency flippers are very fragile and probably has a bad wedge [jonzu (unsure)]
2- too much battery and blank white space in the pic turned me off [very unsure, maybe acams ? except he mainly builds crawlers and hs so spagetti]
3- another "funny" bot from j (well, it made me giggle atleast), but too mainstream [j..... if you havn't figured that out already]
4-  :surprised: just WTF, weak as heck flipper that just lifts opponents and fails, probably has a sh** wedge too, ["from robot mpire"....... hmmmmm, HMMMMMM, i wonder who made this one]
5- original and (seemingly) effective...... voted, nice stack ! [fracture]
6- its a good concept, but probably doesnt work [wacky bob]

ACAMS, there is two #2s on the poll
he must really like gumballs

Entry #1 made me realize that EMERGENCY flippers are larger than the flippers in the stock bot lab...

And #5 gave me a seizure without flashing at all. Cool effect, but hard to look at. Use better contrasting colors next time, #5.

1- It's cool and decently built, but nothing more really.
2- Sorry Click, most of your other designs are far cooler than this. Or is it NFX masquerading as Click ?
3- Amusing, but nothing more. Besides, twas fun to vote for a joke bot once, but not twice.
4- Nice splash and skin, but the bot is just plain bad and uninteresting otherwise.
5- Just the opposite... it's original and efficient but the splash is slightly eye-raping.
6- Meh. It's nothing exceptional really.

Gotta vote for 5.

Post by: Clickbeetle on July 29, 2012, 08:31:00 PM
2- Sorry Click, most of your other designs are far cooler than this. Or is it NFX masquerading as Click ?

You dare presume that I would run 2 normal Z-tek drive on a MW rammer and then overpower it with 2 Supervolts which are not even stacked?  I am incised that you so doubt my ability to build!
 
I don't think it's NFX either.  Whoever it is clearly has skill, but I'm guessing they're new and haven't learned the best MW drive setups yet.  Also the splash is awesome but the bot should figure more prominently in it.
 
I voted #1.  +Respect for attempting a stock MW flipper, which are almost always worthless in battle, but if you're going to do a flipper that's the way to do it.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM August 2012

Whoa... you are right, I did not see that at all. I just thought it was your design because you posted a comic with similar graphics in GTM land.

Also, I have incurred Clickbeetle's wrath. I will therefore wait for the obligatory bolt of divine retribution.

#2-Kurt Wylde? This is where my vote went. I personally like it.
#3-OH BOY I WONDER WHO MADE THIS
#4-Nice splash. Robot? Not so good.
#5-Very nicely built. NFX? Click? Is that you in that mess of colour and test card background?

I think that is a hint...

I don't care, personally. I actually vote for what I feel is the best bot and splash combination. It's about 70% bot and 30% splash when I look them over to vote.

#1 Nice bot. Vertigo? mebey?
#2 Nice splash. but the bot could be improved. NFX? I really don't know.
#3 obviously J, who else could it be?
#4 I actually like the splash, but the bot needs some improvement. I really have no idea who made this one.
#5 Got my vote. I really like the bot, but the splash isn't the best. Probably Fracture.
#6 Nice concept, reminds me of WackyBob.

Post by: NFX on August 01, 2012, 04:53:40 PM
So voting's over. That was one close fight. #3 is obviously J, #4 is clearly Rob Collins. Nice to see everyone getting at least one vote, though. If 6 was Wacky Bob, my guess is Kurt Wylde for #2 (I originally thought that was Wacky Bob). #1, maybe Vertigo. Or Click. Really no idea on that one.

But #5 was me. =D Sorry about the eye-raping splash, I had the idea for the bot and I didn't want to miss out like I did last month. Thanks to everyone who voted.

Post by: Probably Rob on August 01, 2012, 05:04:16 PM
Voted for #1, but was hoping Hipstercams won. Congrats to #5!


I would like to thank those who actually know what Robot MPire even is when I was guessed, hah! - and thank you to the 1 voter for Infamy! My signature was removed before the voting and I think it was already too late as people may have known what the series is, hah. However, the signature was also removed because I was editing it at the time anyways.


There was some debate on the other forum, they were against me using "From Robot MPire" and I agreed with them, I was also against using it even before thinking of the line - probably should have listened to them. Waaay before the voting began, I was going to redo it but wondered if that was against the rules AND I didn't have enough time due to being busy.




4) Don't have much to say about this one. I can't help but think the red ropes in the background look like red extenders.

If I actually did that as the ropes, it would've killed me after the first rope!



I did that when I entered my first BOTM. =D

Hah, at least I wasn't the only one - if it's true!



weak as heck flipper that just lifts opponents and fails, probably has a sh** wedge too

Infamy was not meant for battle on stock, but it CAN flip at least 696kg on DSL (after testing against Vlad the Impaler).

You guys suck.

TBH, I didn't really expect that many votes. But knowing I actually had a chance, and lost by 1 vote, I'm now annoyed by this.
I can get over it, yes, but I still find it ironic.

Regardless, the BOTM winner wont annoy anyone. So with that, I'm fine.

Yes, yes, rub it in, everyone.
atleast the bot that was actually most well built and not "OMG LOL2FUNNY XDDDD" won
Actually, I wasn't trying to be all "OMG LOL2FUNNY XDDDD" with this entry.
It was more or less just to poke fun at the fact the BOTM would end up with awkward bots, because more people enter the Heavyweight rounds, rather then lower weight ones.
So it was basically a "Hey, I build some complex bot that laughs at you, and is under the weight limit. So how about that?".
Idea looked better on paper, really...

Voted for #2.  Surprised and pleased it was Mecadino  :D

Congrats NFX yet again.

Having won a couple times with ineffective Art-bots myself, I certainly hope that J doesn't let the hate get to him.  Just remember that, really, people are bitching about the voters and not you or your bot.  I actually think that 99% of the members like having your bots in BOTM, but only about half of them want it to win.  But, votes are votes, and if you win BOTM adhering to the rules, then anyone's bitching is really kinda pointless.   :P

Yeah I want to re-enforce this one too.. I have always said that BOTM was a black mark on the competition because voters chose giraffe just to spite the better entries not actually because they wanted it to win.


Even though he is edging closer to my record Im happy to see NFX win this one.. its kinda corrected the Giraffe BOTM win in which I think he should have won..


All in all, Hipstercams was a much better entry then Giraffe to, lets face it..
