1 - It's a giant three-legged mecha with a flamethrower and two guns. Does anything more needs to be said ?
2 - It's horse manure, nothing more
3 - Clearly the second best robot, but... wat ? It's just a giant mess of different robot types.
4 - Still horse manure.

#1 - Nicely done but seems a bit messy...
#2 - wat
#3 - Confusing
#4 - wat

...I guess I'll give my vote for #3. It's the only one I liked atleast a bit.

Voting 3 just because of the name. I didn't really like any of them, shame I couldn't think of anything.
And there's ballasts in #2, Nar. Ballasts.

All Marty said was that he voted for Number 1 and that he wanted to enter, but couldn't. There was no complaining involved. Back off.

Yeah. X-mas BOTM is always my favorite.  I was so tied up with Black Friday / Holiday prep at work that I haven't been focusing on bot building. 

Ah well.  :P

Yes it is, because half of this month's entries are totally uninteresting in all aspects ! Entering doesn't automatically makes you superior and immune to criticism.

Besides, we do the same for tournaments, why not for BOTM ?

Anytime J submits a joke bot everyone jizzes themselves and votes for it. God forbid anyone else make a joke bot, though...

So there's a ridiculously cool bot, there's a joke bot, an interesting concept of a bot, and a "built by... yeah... that guy..." bot.

Of course 2 of the bots will recieve praise while the two lesser bots will recieve criticism. What did you expect, throwing in a joke bot?

I didn't expect to be get praise over a joke bot, but I sure as Hell didn't think it would be taken as a serious entry.

Same. I got the joke. The spelling and he grammar was bad for a reason, have you ever been to a pound shop (or a dollar shop) and looked at the cheap ripoffs? They pretty much all do not work proplally and there are grammar mistakes and stupid words on the packaging. I will give you an example; (https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/1856/90m/img.youtube.com/vi/8asnz3E4n4o/mqdefault.jpg) See? That is not "new technology" believe me! So -don fret' about numbe2 guyss! It is a joke.

The joke with my bot, is that Die Hard is a Christmas movie - Nostalgia Critic reference, unless of course it IS someone's Christmas movie. The only downside is, I made a terrible robot at the time! Cheers for the 1 vote, hah.

Sorry, but J is just funnier than you, and SFTW was overused last Christmas.
Still, it was pretty obviously not a serious entry.

Post by: Enigm@ on December 03, 2012, 05:19:49 PM
i just noticed that domanting's bot doesn't have it's weight shown in it's splash, making it null correct? therefore the second entry would win by default right?
Title: Re: Vote BOTM December 2012
Post by: Meganerdbomb on December 03, 2012, 05:22:11 PM

ah kk it's just that almost all botm's have the weight featured so i just figured it was something mandatory.

It actually is usually included in the rules, but apparently not this time. Although, maybe ACAMS edited it out so that he could allow the only good entry.

Nope. He didn't edit anything. I thought about that before working on the splash and wondered if the weight rule was implicit.
So I went to check BOTM of december 2011. 3 of the entries had no weights so I figured I didn't need to put it.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM December 2012
Post by: Meganerdbomb on December 03, 2012, 06:29:05 PM
He probably doesn't require one because the Christmas BOTM has no weight limit.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM December 2012

That is not a rule for Christmas BOTM's
