Viral Sweep's so much lollage.
For me, it's a toss-up between GEC and Raze, but I had to vote for GEC due to its cleaner splash.
Quickshift and Viral Sweep are fully of sugary sweetness and candy explosions. Me likey.
-
Voted For Number 4
-
wow lots of entry's this time
Quickshift and Viral Sweep are the best and hardest to choose between.. mainly because they are not the basic rammer / caster + hammer formula
-
I voted #2
-
#10, the best considerably

I clicked *Download Now* four times.

10 Looks Awesome. :P

Well, let's have a looky here:
1)Hmm, interesting splash, it seems quite solidly built, but nothing that unique, i'm guessing FOTEPX but I could easily be wrong with that.
2)The bot seems mehish TBH, but the paint surely gives it away as Cory.
3)Aaargh, I know some-one was talking about this design...I'm gonna guess it was SM. I like the look of it aswell, and it's unique, possibly a bit of a b**** to drive though.
4)I lol'd at the name. I'm gonna guess, GF for that one, mainly due to the name, but I don't know about that as there are 2 other people who could eaily have made a bot like that anyway.
5)OH, this has to be JB...wait...is it? It seems like his style, anyway, I like the bot and the splash a lot for this one (maybe it's NFX?)
6)Sage is it? I'm not sure though...
7)Oh hai there redace :mrgreen:
8)I don't know who made this one, sage perhaps? No, I've already said sage... Either way, it looks very cool
9)Meh, don't know who made this one either, maybe NFX?
10)Does look very cool, but it still aint my favourite
I voted for number 5 because it's rather different and looks cool.
-
5 is obviously Joe.
-
8 is FOTEPX. :P
4 has that Click aura. Not sure if it's his, though.
And I think 3 is Gazea's. I'm pretty sure someone asked for advice on that design before.
-

Oh, I take it back then 8 sucks ;P
4 could be clicks actually.
And 3 may be gazea's, but I swear it was SM who brought this design up in the first place :confused:
-
im 100% sure the 90 degrees of pain is Gaz :P
for some reason I get the feeling Scrap is behind 10 ? but he doesnt normally enter this...
-
HIT THE WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE.
I'm going to vote for the enemy crab that really was part of Japanese history.
-
I gave my vote to Quickshift. Hi there JoeBlo. :gawe:
I'm quite pleased that there was so many entries this time around. Much more interesting designs.
-
I'm quite pleased that there was so many entries this time around.
pure living proof that we need more Stock tournaments

lol i wish i could make splashes that nice.
i voted for 4

Number Four gets my vote.
-
I voted for number 4 aswell.

I voted for number 4 aswell.
But if you fight it, remember to attack its weak point for massive damage :gunz:
-
I know that Giant Enemy Crab is a meme of some sort, I'm just not sure where from.

Hopefully, that should help.
-
Well that's what I get for having someone else make my splash >.> damn internet problems.
Voted #6 for wide trapping design, 4wd, and more damaging weapons than #4. Would have gone with #10 but I feel an HS would knock it sideways and easily defeat it because it isn't very wide.
-
4TW!
-
Yeah, number 4 does seem like the best overall.
-
10 Looks coolest. Really.
-
I voted for #6 because it's probably the best fighter out of all of them (oh hai thar Sage! ;P).
-
I voted #4 for massive damage.
-
#4 looks a bit flimsy for my liking, personally. I chose #5 because it used more ingenuity than #4, plus I think it looks cooler and slightly better built.
-
Well that's what I get for having someone else make my splash >.> damn internet problems.
and what exactly do you mean by that? I could have said "lolno" to your pm and you wouldn't be in this at all,
-

Obviously I'm very thankful you did one for me, I was just being mad at myself for not finishing up the splash and bot sooner so as to avoid having to ask anyone, because no matter how skilled or awesome a person is it's not the same when it's not your own bot. I worded it poorly, sorry.
-
Numbah five gets my vote.
-
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...
...but I have to go with Sygnosis. Despite the lack of wedge, it has a cool setup and enough weapons to outweapon certain opponents (a major issue for most side hammers). And 4WD + 4 hammers! :eek:
Edit: Meh, I see my vote didn't really matter. Well, it's the principle of it.
I sense a lot of people voting for "Meme of the Month". :P
-
Sygnosis only has 1 supervolt which really kills the whole robot. I think thats why there is such a lack of votes.
-
:O Really? Didn't notice that. I was wondering where all that weight came from... now I know.
Edit: Changed vote to 90 DOP. Sorry whoever built Sygnosis... but my vote still doesn't make a difference if it's any consolation, and 90 DOP deserves a pity vote for originality.
-
Actually, it has 2, it's just disguised very well
Edit by CB: removed incriminating edits.
-

I guess you are the builder then? But then there is no way to be sure, right? As long as you don't come out and say it directly. ;)
Which you didn't really, but it was pretty clear. Just saying you don't need to get yourself DQ'd over a slip of the tongue if you don't want to.
If it does have 2 batteries then Sygnosis is actually pretty good. But really it's a tossup for me between that and 90 DOP; my vote could easily go to either one.
-

Edit by CB: removed incriminating edits.
The splash said it has one black. And I doubt it has weight for a second black given the caster count.
-
upon quick estimates on weight I dont think there is enough for 2
-
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.
-
Many made me lol, but for pure awesomeness, 4. 5, 6 and 10 are also awesome however XD
-
Oooh, these component skins on Sygnosis remind me of some "wandering" showcase...
-
I voted 10 because of the splash. I also liked 3,4, and 5 too.
-
#4 is awesome :D
-
I voted for #2 because it went well with the whole "after Christmas" concept. :)
-
Everyone's got at least a vote! Awesome.
-
The christmas bots splash is good but that skin is eye burning.
-
This is probably the closest BOTM I have ever seen. o_O
-
Congratulations to NFX with Viral Sweep.
-
wow sure was lucky I decided to change my vote to Viral Sweep last night wasnt it? ;)
*cough* I like money *cough*

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. :)
-
I guess I can say I entered #2 as if anyone didn't notice :P
-
YES! Congratulations NFX!!! :gawe:
-
Number 9 was me.
-
congrats.
-
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.
-
I thought quickshift was yours (or perhaps NFX because of the skins)!
Anyway, congratz to NFX, and everybody else who entered, it was a good one this month.
-
Wow, that was a close vote. I did guess 5 was Joe's, but I voted for it anyway. It was a new idea, and it was reasonably well executed, with quite a neat splash as well. It may have been that you used the same front as Seige Tank that gave it away slightly.
I thought I'd do reasonably well here, but I didn't expect to win. Thanks, guys. =D And well done to everyone who submitted a bot as well. I think special mention has to go to RedAce, just for entering this after such a short time. I reckon with a little bit of splash work, he could become a fairly good contender.
But yeah, this month was good. Was it actually Click that made #4?
-
It may have been that you used the same front as Siege Tank that gave it away slightly.
Siege tank used the Starcraft font, Quickshift used a different font.
-
Was it? I couldn't really tell the difference, to be honest. Yours was still a great piece of ingenuity, with the adjustable arms. Would it use something like Seism 13's .py file?
-
not really.. the arms depend on robot size not wedges so there isnt any real way the AI could know
-
You could, though. Place a SZ on each side beyond the original sweep arc and modify the AI such that it will only spread the system when both zones are activated within a small time interval.
I'm more of a C/C++ guy, so I have no idea how to code that. XD
-
You might have to have a few on each side. So it wouldn't stretch too much/too little
-
You don't need multiple SZs on each side. One narrow and long one per side should do. They just have to be placed at the edges of the extended sweep arc.
-
Yeah pretty much. :mrgreen:
-
I don't base my vote on builder, I do it on bot. A lot of it is on appearance though. Like if Viral Sweep had a generic gray skin and a crappy splash, I wouldn't vote for it. But it was a good idea, looked effective and cool, and the splash was good presentation. You kinda have to think from the standpoint of, "If someone sees their first well-built robot on the front page of the site, which robot from this month do you want them seeing, which represents us as a whole".

Problem is, you can often tell from the splash style who did it...
And yeah, Giant Enemy Crab was mine.
