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

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..?

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

#3 gets my vote because #4 seems a little too messy.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Jan 2016
Post by: RedAce on January 04, 2016, 01:00:55 AM
#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

I'm putting 5 for my vote becuase well look at I mean the guy or girl must have had a field day making this plus those axe heads look like cat ears and that's adorable.

Post by: Badnik96 on January 04, 2016, 11:14:33 AM
ok more legible thoughts now that it isn't 2 am

1) decent splash, messy robot. could use a lot of work.
2)
(http://i.imgur.com/j75vIc8.png)
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

who are you to tell me how to vote for botm? i can provide critique if i want to.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Jan 2016
Post by: cephalopod on January 04, 2016, 12:24:43 PM
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.

Oh 2 definitely deserves the front page for a month. Not for the bot but for the Pepsi advertisement money.

Post by: Silverfish on January 04, 2016, 10:23:52 PM
Time for my thoughts:

1: Sircreepalot2. The way it works just seems like his doing, based on his other entry. (also, this got my vote.)
2: Plazooki. Don't ask why, it just is.
3: Thrakerzod. Same reason as creepalot. (And before I get asked, yes, I did play RA1. I even played through version 1.0)
4: The Red Blur. What, exactly, is this?
5: I have no idea.

I'm flattered that you think that's my bot, but I'm gonna have to disappoint you, there.

Happy with second place, considering I only had a few hours to do everything before I left for Christmas break. I knew the bot wasn't all that great, but I couldn't do much about it  :rolleyes:
