Title: Re: Vote BOTM march 2010
Post by: G.K. on February 28, 2010, 08:27:32 AM: 1) Spamming SII's sort of took shine away. This is Badnik's entry I think.
2) Funny but boring, I think Craaig or Reier made this.
3) Solid. Click
4) Less Solid. Jonzu
5) I like this. Sage
6) Obvious Joe is obvious. Too dark for my liking, but excellent use of Trov glitch.
7) Obious S_R is obvious. I love it.
8) Sparkles almost spelt everything right!

#7 was my vote on the poll
Title: Re: Vote BOTM march 2010
Post by: Badnik96 on February 28, 2010, 09:12:09 AM: 1:... Obvious failed Stock's Revenge bot is obvious. Probably Stag or S_M.
2:Rolo maybe? i dunno, but there are already too many RPB clones.
3:Yes, this is definitely Click. Candy is good, but he won last month.
4:could be Jonzu. Not the candy-est entry here, but still solid.
5:either Pwn or 40757. Another solid entry, but not the one I voted for.
6:definitely Sage. realllllly cool, yet not my favorite.
7:SONNY! Yes, I voted for this one.
8:obvious fail is obvious, as is the builder (Sparkey)

Its a typo dude. I loosely added up all the components and such for that design and it is within the weight limit.

#6 is a work of art. It deserves to be a centerfold in Robotics Monthly Magazine.

and I think Sage made it :3

Post by: Sparkey98 on February 28, 2010, 11:42:44 AM: well, if i knew how to make a splash, you could see that the thing transforms into a rather good VS.

Post by: Reier on February 28, 2010, 02:13:19 PM: 1) Waaaaaay too many snappers, and the drive is rotated in the wrong way.
2) Totally obvious Click. :P Nice bot too.
3) R0B0? Looks ok, but why is it almost 100 KGs underweight?
4) Not a terrible bot, but not really that great either.
5) JB obviously. Not bad but it looks a bit messy.
6) Sage, do you always vote for yourself?
7) WALKER! >:D But the weapon looks way to wimpy.
8) You're getting there, Sparkey.

I was going to choose 2 or 6, I go with #6 because it looks so dang cool.

You don't need to have Photoshop... You just need MS Paint and need to know how to copy and paste, but whatever.

You don't have the mental capacity to use Photoshop, anyway.

I missed out on entry. I think I would have had a good shot at it too..
Same here.... This week was kinda busy for me so it completely slipped my mind until now...

1. Cool skin. By mounting the drive directly to the baseplate, you could save some weight and make it less shaky. Also enhanced drive motors haven't been known to have any significant increase in speed or power.
2. Great design and splash. Rather than go on and on about the "pure unadulterated awesomeness that is Rapid Pit Bull," I'll just name a few highlights: efficient use of the chassis space (2 blacks and 2 pre-angled blue snappers with baseplate anchors underneath them), the green snappers are protected by the weapon motors, and 5 motors attached to each blue snapper. This design was definitely inspired by Rabid Pit Bull (duh...) but it is no way a clone. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this was Click's entry (the cool design and extra nonsense comments seem like his style). With a simplicity and effectiveness in mind, this one gets my vote.
3. Very well protected. I would try extending the weapons out more with the extra weight.
4. Looks powerful. Looks like a member of the Billy Goats. I'm assuming that the center baseplate is keeping the weapons from dragging somehow but I can't tell from the given angles.
5. Well built trapping design. Looks like some of Pwn's work.
6. Nice skin work and use of my glitch. The skin for the discs are really cool but I think the little battery could use a little more work. Overall, a really visually appealing entry but the effectiveness is questionable when compared to some of the others.
7. Interesting walker design. I think you would do better if this was a video BOTM (although, you appear to be doing well).
8. Nice bot skin. Try to use up all the weight available to you and show the internals in your next splash ("stuff" could be anything).

Credit to #6 for being the only smart enough dude to skin his components though.

...... Come to think of it, I haven't been able to replicate Donut bot's chassis yet. XD
Though some cool and unique designs are made possible via the Trov Glitch, I wouldn't know how to do the 'donut chassis' using it. BFE required.

#6 is aesthetic.
#7 would be cool and innovative if it could really work as presented (vid?).
I vote for #5 for construction and apparent effectiveness.

Its either his or Sparkey's... even I don't make those type of failbots.

I personally voted for #5, a great design through and through. Whoever created this, my hat's off to you.

Also, hats off to #6 and #7 (which I suspect is Sonny being the Replica maker that he is).

Reier: #3 isn't 100KG underweight. It's a bit hard to read, but it looks like it's 781.1kg.

I voted for #2. It was probably my favourite design (Core Drill was a close second) but the "that's a tree" part really sold me. If I have to see it every time I come to GTM's for a month, it would make my day every time. (And no, I didn't make it)

EDIT: Holy Swiss cheese, Batman! It has a R0B0 Smiley too :D

The reason I didn't do a video was because I couldn't get the thing to walk straight; putting "scaffold" on each leg took me right to the brink of the Rule of 7, so a proper walking mechanism was out of the question.

Because if you voted... then you didn't vote for yourself. While the end result isn't that favorable, if you voted for a bot other than yours. You get a ton of respect for doing that.

If you forgot to vote... and were going to vote for yourself. You missed the bus man.

But if you want to enter the next one, I will team up with you and take care of the candy if you build the bot. :D

Edit: actually your candy isn't all that bad. I can do the skin if you want?

Title: Re: Vote BOTM march 2010
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 02, 2010, 08:09:41 PM: I guess my "anti-candy" tactic didn't quite work. After seeing some comments about "Splash of the Month" and "the bot should speak for itself" I wanted to see if I could win with a candyless splash.

Though there WAS some fierce competition for this one. Core Drill is an awesome design (reminds me of Industrial Coal Miner in DSL). If I didn't vote for Sage's bot which is also awesome, I would've voted for Core Drill. So I think I did quite well for not having much of a splash to speak of.

Let that be inspiration for all you photoshopically-challenged members out there!

But yeah, Core Drill just looked like the best bot to me, most effective and it seemed like it was a similar style to my own.

well done Pwn.
