i have a feeling who build 2 and 3 :P

but 3 is pretty much the only non-noob bot there, even still it isnt great

I actually like #1. It's quite unique.

martymidget · « **Reply #3 on:** January 28, 2012, 09:52:45 AM »

Since the criteria was this:

Must have 8 wheels (no more ... no less)
Must have at least one snow plow (light, medium, heavy, or steel)
Must have at least two weapon system types

And since the only bot that actually satisfies them all is #1... Flamethrowers are just a cheap cop out for a secondary weapon system imo.

Do like #3. Think I can tell who made it.

#3 = underweight ololol

also i don't think #2 has the two weapon systems, i see a flamethower but no other weapon system

I would have entered, but the 8 wheels bit halted me in my tracks for ideas.
I'm not voting because it would be like choosing the lesser of 3 evils. No offence. You guys are still better men than I for actually entering though :P

Lesser of 3 evils? I think people have done well with the massive restrictions they were given - apart from the slight lack of weapon systems on 2.

I will admit that probably came across more harsh than I anticipated, and for that I apologise. However, nothing is exactly screaming "VOTE ME" out of my monitor, which is probably closer to what I meant to say in the first place.

Love #3's splash.

they are pushers and flametrowhers (i think so)

Only 3 entries?

Next BOTM will have 1 entry, I swear.

*votes #1*

Badnik96 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:12:25 PM »

1 is honestly the only bot in my eyes to fit the full ruleset.

NEXT MONTH BETTER BE SOMETHING EASY TO BUILD FOR I SWEAR

SKBT · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:17:25 PM »

3 meets the requirements if you take the IRL definition of a weapon (spikes, plow, flame thrower) but fails if you define a weapon as something that operates independent of the drive train and passes if you call a weapon anything in the weapons tab.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:43:24 PM »

ACAMS said "Weapon systems", not weapons.

Pyromaniac605 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:19:52 AM »

Voted for 1, kind of like the idea of a bot specifically designed to combat another kind of bot, also the flame-throwers on 2 & 3 just seem like a cheap way to meet the two weapons criteria.

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:33:12 AM »

lololol but 1 would be UTTERLY AWFUL against any bot that deserves the "shell spinner" name.

Judgment - 1 is crap, 2 is a bit less awful, and 3 is the best of the bunch. Also it looks cool. Nothing great fight-wise but it's not like the rules make for good fighters.

2 doesn't even have 2 weapon systems. 3 has since it's a flamethrower rammer, although a poor one in my books.

Pwnator · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:35:34 AM »

Voted for #3 because that's the way I'd do an 8-wheeler if I had entered. :P

ianh05 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 30, 2012, 03:12:21 PM »

number 1: nicest splash, obeys the rules most (weapons systems as mentioned previously) and is the most unique.
