I sense a lot of people voting for "Meme of the Month". :P
Our survey says.........dingdingdingdingding winnar. =P
 
And on Sygnosis, I might be getting my maths wrong, but if there's one black in there, I believe the components add up to 698kg, wihch is quite underweight.

ARGH so many good entries!  How do you pick just one?


90 DOP is an awesome concept but could have been executed better... namely by putting the hammers on the other side, kind of like Halftone.  Plus it could use a wedge.  If it was just a bit better it would get my vote...

Yeah, it was me. I made 90 DOP.

It was kind of a last minute thing so I didn't build it as well as I could but thanks for the vote. :)

Quickshift was mine and Raze was Sage (I made both splashes, Raze's was inteded to look like Sage's style of splash)

didnt expect it to win.. my real entry was a cooler concept but got havok raped so I made this one up in half an hour just because it was stock :P

Im probably past my reign with BOTM wins.. I get the feeling people vote against me for the sake of voting against me... not necessarily costing me a win (NFX should have win this BOTM) but I know some people do, do it.. (some people did it to Sage I think? around when I first joined, thus causing the secrecy of the builders)

@Joe - So BOTM wasn't secret? I never knew that.

Anyway, congrats NFX!

I voted quick shift because when I saw it I didn't think "hey, I've seen that bot before! in 12 other AI packs, and 45 different showcases with different skins and names!"

@Joe - So BOTM wasn't secret? I never knew that.

originally they had a submission thread and you posted your splash (so everyone knew it was yours) instead of the anonymous uploader.

people started to base votes on members instead of robots that's why ACAMS is now strict on secrecy.
