I vote #6 for originality's sake.

What russian roulette said.

also what's that #7 ? you think you're going to win by dedicating 90% of your splash to a damn novel ? THINK AGAIN.

Surely you mean #8? :gawe:

Over a series of matches, my 1WD HSs would win more than those fragile things.

I made one of the first one wheeled bots made in RA2 and I know what they do, but in an AI tournament they don't work as well as they do when you drive it.
In DoD my bot moved faster than quite a lot of the HSs out there, and had more weight dedicated to weaponry, win win situation.
Better than GK since 2009.

The splash is gonna be on the front page though, so it's important that it look nice.
I completely agree. Though it is important to make a decent bot, it is also important to make it presentable. If people really think this is a problem, I can make a program that generates the splash automatically (I made one a while back but I'm certain I could do better and make it work for all resolutions).

I'm a little bummed out that I couldn't participate this month but thats fine because we have a few good ones. I ended up voting for 7 but 3 was a close runner up.

#8's tl;dr description is really just meant to distract you from the fact that it is horrendously underweight.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

I didn't see any one wheeled entries this time ...... you should have entered!

I wanted to see a 1WD Bot-killer. I.e. One which can defeat one consistently.

I was going to enter this, but then I took a Minecraft to the knee.  :ouch:   Glad to see there was still a good turnout of bots.

Child's Play IV or any good clone thereof?
 
Also, anyone who voted #6 because it's "the most combat effective" clearly didn't build a rough clone and test it... it's original and it has a nice splash, I'll grant it that, and the weapon does spin absurdly fast, but combat effective it is not.
 
IMO the most combat effective is #5, but I voted #3 because it's still decent but more original.

?!

#8 is totally the funniest. Funnily enough, it would probably also be the most combat effective out of the entries if it'd been built to the weight limit as a Dual Trinity SnS.

All of these bots suck... I thought we still had some awesome stock builders here, but I guess not.

Yeah, I think it got kinda overlooked, despite the fact that it was far and away the most combat effective of the bunch, except for ACAMS' clone, but that doesn't even count.

I still picked #7, because I just like facespinners.

I think it may have been the splash that let it down, personally. Splashes like that are somewhat distracting from the actual bot itself.

Also yay, I'm back on top. :gawe: Thanks to everyone who voted, and well done to Fracture for coming up with a not-too-bad idea. I thought Fracture's was #5, and Pwnator was #6.
