Quite surprised from the amount of entries here. O_O

1 - Definitely not Sage. Also, there's no way you can attach an iron spike in the middle. BFE or DSL disc?

2 - Definitely not JB.

3 - Now THIS is JB. :P

4 - I dunno who built this, but that's one awesome T connector extender work.

5 - Sparkey?

6 - I'm guessing Nary. I wanted to build a torque reaction hammer/crawler hybrid as well. Just too lazy.

7 - HI SAGE! You get my vote. :D

Post by: 090901 on May 01, 2010, 12:26:28 AM
Now which one to chose?
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: JoeBlo on May 01, 2010, 12:34:34 AM
0_0 there seems to be a lot of "piggy backing" on others designs and concepts this month.

1 - erm either sage did enter twice or... someone is seriously trying to win off his work

2 - yeah thats not mine :P but again it seems to be a piggy back off a another known robot

3 - the most unique design here...

4 - Sonny ? seems like his work, pretty unique also.

5 - had the change to make a torque reaction hammer design and they put a bracket wedge on the end :P

6 - Ramplate Spam :D its pretty cool, reminds me of RFS's steamroller.

7 - obvious Sage is obvious, its using the same disc skin from his FS BOTM

still some nice stuff.. The Bumble Bee esc designs.. which will probably hurt each other in voting...

I think it's obvious which ones are JB's and Sage's, but I wonder who entered #1 and #2.

4 and 6 are cool, but I'll have to vote for #3.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: G.K. on May 01, 2010, 01:33:57 AM
No clue about entrants, I vote #6.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: Bubbleman on May 01, 2010, 01:58:58 AM
i'd vote 3 as its the most origional.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: Naryar on May 01, 2010, 02:11:12 AM
#1: Cloning much...The color scheme is meh. Also i still spit on the original bot :P
#2: So Joe intends to win a BOTM on looks with a klone...  :ermm:
#3: It's cool but i both dislike green and servo boosting. Credit for being original as well.
#4: Finally a crawler that doesn't have 4 HPZs... the paintjob is bleh and it looks vulnerable though.
#5: :fail:
#6: No, it's not mine (i use better names :P), but yeah, that might be something i'll enter. It's quite original (apart from the name) and relatively cool, so votes goes for this one.
#7: HURR SO PUNNY and still GHEEEEYYYY

So i vote #6

#2: So Joe intends to win a BOTM on looks with a klone...  :ermm:

if you see my post you will know its now mine... I have done the chocolate thing before.. its just the same case as someone copying Clicks anti candy splash.. trying to win off other previous image.

the first one does also, people are trying to get more votes by pretending to be someone else  :ermm:
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: G.K. on May 01, 2010, 02:25:26 AM
Ok, I'll come out and admit it.

#1 is mine. I basically had the idea as a joke in my head, as soon as I saw ACAMS' category. I thought it would be ironic if I won when people thought it was Sage. Obviously, the ruse hasn't worked, so I just look like a fraudster.

I did PM Sage about it, asking him if he minded. He said that it was okay and that imitation was the best form of flattery.

The one good thing was that it helped me with my splash skills.

I certainly hope you do take no offence from my post, I was merely stating the effect it has.. which will always cause controversy....

Im in the Graphic Design industry and have had attended many lectures on copy-writing and this sort of thing has been done IRL for actual products.....

An energy drink company attempted to get away with making a can look similar to red bull without using the name, logo or slogan. they we sued for a massive amount of money for attempting to use Red bulls public image for gain.

Where?

Top left pic, it seems like the disc's camouflaged into the skin. And there's the iron spike in the middle.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: G.K. on May 01, 2010, 03:08:45 AM
I skinned the discs transparent, so you're seeing the HPZ's axle, not a spike.

Who I think everyone is:

1) Me
2) Gaeza2 (Or Pwn)
3) Joe
4) Badnik
5) Martymidget (Or NFX)
6) Nary, Doom or Click
7) Sage

It wasn't me. I was going to enter but my first one was a fail and my second one I didn't finish in time. :/
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: Pwnator on May 01, 2010, 06:11:54 AM
I didn't enter this one. Besides, I wouldn't build a bot like that (no offense, to the builder). :P

I didn't enter, and I recognize 3 of Resetti's decals on #4. (Hard Cheese rat, Knightmare "Who needs a srimech" face, and the Axios face) It's also who I voted for.

Some of these are just incredible, but #3 is the best in my opinion.

If Click (aka #3) wins, i bet Joe will sing prayers to his glory forever for using his glitch.

when exactly dont I praise Click ? :P

It was his inventive designs that brought me to this forum  :gawe:
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2010
Post by: Jack Daniels on May 01, 2010, 09:58:36 AM
1: Ounce will vote for this one because it beat Absolute Chaos.  :gawe:
2: Overuse of skin and not enough attention to detail.
3: Pwnator? I love the splash really. You have to take the time to see all the hidden images.  The bot is cool.
4: A- for originality.  D- for effectiveness.  It certainly stands out with this group though.
5: Underweight. Joe is right that it is a missed opportunity for a Hammer on the end instead of the wedge.
6: I like it! I like it alot. I bet it drives like ass though. Originality wins me over and this gets my vote.
7: Obvious Sage Bot is Obvious. Isn't it strange that since we are all used to bumble bee the design looks generic because it is kinda the base standard now?

thats what is kinda hurt for Sage, it was his original design but now becasue of so much use its lost its originality.. guess its the same as anything.. just look at AC.

Post by: Sage on May 01, 2010, 12:14:26 PM
Yea... I said GK could enter Bumble Bee (I was actually being somewhat sarcastic in my responses to his PMs but that didn't carry well over the Internet) so I just built a better Bumble Bee.

Don't know why everyone's voting for Joes, seeing as theres absolutely no controlled movement (which is why you guys thought Cheap Win 3000 was ghey in the first place, but it actually DID have controlled movement). In fact, the spike wheel drive setup drives faster than if it had normal wheels on them. Just saying.

What's done is done tho, and I'll take pride knowing that my work was cloned 3 times (Chocolate bar is just a reskinned attack version of Bee, and endless existence uses the same SnS policy that Bee pretty much pioneered.)

You may have to, because I still don't think they get it.
 
 
I vote for #3, since the text says it can do those things.  Would be nice to have a short vid to see it in action. I think it's CB's too. But I'm sure he won't let on till voting is finished.
 
 
#6 looks original, a 'thwacker', which is cool too. Vid would be cool here too.

To be fair, GK did wait until the winner gained a momentous lead.  I've never seen a BOTM where a straggler pulled ahead at the eleventh hour; once someone gains a significant lead, that's it, game over man.

isnt it that persons chances they ruin by admitting the robot is theres anyway ?

I think its obvious there is people who vote on who they think owns the robot, no matter how hard you try I think there will always be some bias decisions.

The video uploader works, but most users do not know how to shrink their vids to less than 9 million terabytes before they try to upload and convert......the media uploader may do super large files (but I hope not)

@Sage: your always I tough opponent but I think you need to start going a little more outrageous like you did before...

how about your epic VS Juggler ? your building great (probably better then before) but you going too generic in these it seems.. I know bumble bee was your original design but its become the staple crawler design now.
