Post by: Conraaa on July 01, 2011, 03:29:28 PM: At least I got more votes than 3 & 4 combined...?
Regardless, well done NFX, very nice.

Post by: NFX on July 01, 2011, 03:39:46 PM: Conraaa's reskining work is actually pretty good. He had Koopa Launcher thing last month, didn't he?

I like the variety of designs we got this month, with the plane (Could have guessed MNB. =D), the Segway, and the Tie Fighter. Lots of cool bots still being produced. I was pretty surprised I won, to be honest, I just threw the splash together in about an hour so I could get my entry in. XD

I should have called it Karl.

Dude. It's a kart.
Listen to me. It's a kart.
Look me in the eye. It's a kart.
Now, think about that fact. Look me in the eye once more and tell me that that doesn't automatically make it awesome.

After you posted that I googled it to make sure I hadn't spelt it wrong on the splash.
And yep, that was me NFX. :D
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: Meganerdbomb on July 01, 2011, 03:50:22 PM: I'm pretty shocked NFX won TBH. I was sure it was gonna be the TIE fighter this time.
HOW DOES NFX ALWAYS WIN? :bigO:

I came in a distant 3rd, but given my competition, I guess that's not too shabby.
Also, I voted for Dysentery.

Post by: Meganerdbomb on July 01, 2011, 03:54:53 PM: Don't get me wrong. The kart is awesome, but still... Also, I think it's awesome because of how complex it is, not because it's a kart.
I more expected TIE fighter to win because TIE fighters are automatically awesome.
Also, I didn't notice before, but I beat Joe Blo! :gawe:

I'm as surprised as you are, genuinely. XD I'm a bit wary of mentioning splashes, because that might incite another argument about how it should be run, and "It's Bot of the Month, not Splash of the Month", stuff like that. I'm just glad there's still people entering.

And for the record, I did vote for Tie Fighter. I thought that was gonna win as well, in all honesty.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: Meganerdbomb on July 01, 2011, 04:03:39 PM: Well, a good splash is important, since the BOTM goes on the front page, but you clearly won on the merits of your bot rather than the splash. Your splash wasn't bad though.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: Conraaa on July 01, 2011, 04:09:59 PM: Does the splash look stretched on the homepage for anyone else?
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: NFX on July 01, 2011, 04:13:35 PM: Same here. It happened with Ion as well, I think the splash goes to 700x800 by default.

Post by: J on July 01, 2011, 05:40:37 PM: Kart won?
Honestly, I was expecting Click's Tie Fighter to win.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: yoda9726 on July 01, 2011, 05:59:53 PM: As soon as I saw the TIE fighter, I kicked myself so hard for not entering the X-wing I originally was plotting. Oh well, the Segways got a vote, I'm happy
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on July 02, 2011, 04:26:03 AM: 1 vote...
Should've entered the dragster.

Also, I voted for Dysentery.

I was the other vote for it, I thought it was creative. Definitely thinking outside the box.

X-WING VS TIE FIGHTER... that would have been epic. It would be really hard to actually make an X-wing bot though. The reason I picked the TIE fighter was because it's the easiest to do. :laughing

Post by: yoda9726 on July 04, 2011, 03:10:53 AM: I had a few ideas, it probably wouldn't have been pretty, but I think i coulda pulled it off...

"Nitro Freak" is the name of a real life Nitro Funnycar in Australia

If I didnt start an hour before the deadline I would have skinned the components..
Title: Re: Vote BOTM July 2011
Post by: Meganerdbomb on July 14, 2011, 11:55:11 PM: Yeah, it would have been about 20% cooler if you'd skinned the components, but it was still pretty neat. I beat you though.
