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.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

#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.

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.

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.

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.

The splash said it has one black. And I doubt it has weight for a second black given the caster count.
