Voting #3 for RA1 nostalgia.

#2 sucks cuz the builder couldn't even bother to make it an even 420.0 kgs, not to mention it isn't even an actual cube.

The other ones are cool I guess
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

3 is definitely my vote. Very well done and the other four are nothing impressive.

Well let's see...

1. It's nice.
2. this would def go on my fridge
3. Really good.  Except, the first "it's" should be "its".  I'll have to get over my crippling fear of grammar to vote for it.
4. this one sucks
5. It's different..?

Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I don't think RedAce played RA1, though I could be wrong. I assume 090901 would at least get the weight even. And Thackerzod is a better builder than that.

Yeah, but he said "this one sucks". I don't think he would say that about someone's random bot unless it was his. :P

#1: Interesting, but a bit messy.  I think ACAMS built this one.
#2: Since it fails at trying to be a meme, with the weight clocking in at 420.4 kg, it doesn't really work.  I bet it's Starcore who built it,
#3: Love the RA1 concept, but a bit of grammar errors kinda hurt it.  Nevertheless, I've got a gut feeling that Venko made this.
#4: It's alright for a hybrid, but compared to the other entrants here, it looks somewhat messy.  My Firebeetle senses are tingling on this one.
#5: Stock isn't that game where making a FNAF Replica, (or an oc in this case) can work well, but considering the limitations, this is still pretty good.  If it isn't DarkRat, I'll be surprised.

1- It's OK, I guess. Compared to most of the other entries. The ground clearance issues and the plow entirely in the chassis aren't doing it any favors, however.
2-
3- I like it. Also the RA1 splash is a nice touch.
4- Hybrids: you're doing it wrong. Also messily built and stuff.
5- It's better and more original than most, I guess. Splash is a bit lacking, however, and all the edge makes me think it's from Kurt. (even tho i know it's prolly a french build)

voting 3, would consider 5 if it had a better presentation and less edge

ok more legible thoughts now that it isn't 2 am

1) decent splash, messy robot. could use a lot of work.
2)

3) definitely the best here but there isn't much competition.
4) best splash here but the robot isn't very good at all. why boxing gloves?
5) it's a decent artbot for stock, but the splash was made in 5 seconds. put some more effort into that next time and you may have a winner here.

Remember- botm isn't about function, it's about form.

Anyway, I chose #3 just because of a falcon with a box on its head. #2 came a close second, though

Indeed, people can vote as they wish to vote.

On that basis, I voted #1 because I like VS and I'm not overly fond of the mostly irrelevant splash of #3 (see "a falcon with a box on its head") although it is a better built bot.
