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
-
Now which one to chose?
-
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.
-
No clue about entrants, I vote #6.
-
i'd vote 3 as its the most origional.
-
#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:
-
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.
-
No offense taken. You posted something that should be out there.
-
I will admit it confused the heck out of me when first looking at them ? :P
-
Also, there's no way you can attach an iron spike in the middle. BFE or DSL disc?
Where?
-
Top left pic, it seems like the disc's camouflaged into the skin. And there's the iron spike in the middle.
-
I skinned the discs transparent, so you're seeing the HPZ's axle, not a spike.
-
I vote for #7.
-
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
-
Martymidget hasn't mentioned anything to me about a HW crawler he's made so I wouldn't be so sure :P
-
2) Gaeza2 (Or Pwn)
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. :/
-
I didn't enter this one. Besides, I wouldn't build a bot like that (no offense, to the builder). :P
-
#6 is not mine !
-

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.

I confess NOTHING
Seriously though, nice job, I was wondering if anyone would notice the decals
-
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.
-
i bet Joe will sing prayers
when exactly dont I praise Click ? :P
It was his inventive designs that brought me to this forum :gawe:
-
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.

I entered this too...
-
You are 2 or 5 or 6.
-
I guess #2 or #6 for 09090807060504030201
also ACAMS didn't I send you some voting open and voting closed tags for these topics ?
-
i bet Joe will sing prayers
when exactly dont I praise Click ? :P
Well, you are not fanboying as much as Jonzu does or go off-topic for saying Click is your god... and i remember only once you refering to him as "master" :P
-
I never said constantly praising ?
but I think 99% of people praise Clicks presence on this forum... especially around BBEANS time :P
-
Yayz, I still have no votes!
-
Well excuse me for understanding "when don't i praise him" for "i praise him all the time"...
-
I think Joe already won this BOTM.
-
Well excuse me for understanding "when don't i praise him" for "i praise him all the time"...
your excused :gawe:
why do you have to drive into deep meaningful conversations over such simple posts :P
-
Intellectual's pastime.
-
I'm gonna vote number 6. Number 7 definitely looks the business, but I just prefer the concept of 6, I guess.
-
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.)
-
also ACAMS didn't I send you some voting open and voting closed tags for these topics ?
I worked 36 hours with only 1 1/2 hrs sleep......it is fixed now.
We didn't have 10 posts before some nut was telling what bot was theirs, next time we may have voting ONLY and no comments.

What's the policy on saying "yep you got me" if someone else figures out which bot is yours?
-

That was because I became genuinely worried about how I'd be viewed, having ripped off Sage's work so obviously.
-
I vote for 3. I would voted 4 but it looks ugly.
-
next time we may have voting ONLY and no comments.
Please don't do that. As I said, this was an extreme circumstance.
And who voted for my ripoff?
-
I like #7, looks pretty nasty. LOL at #2.
#6: Rolo?
-
Rolo hasn't been on in like a month.
-
Rolo hasn't been on in like a month.
He left GTM, Did you know that? ;)
-
He was on today though. In fact he made a few posts over an hour ago. Still I don't think that was built by Rolo.
-
Nobody has feelings for number 5
-
My guess was based entirely off of the baseplate grid color of the bot.
-
Not any positive ones as far as i guess...
O WAIT Joe's is #3 then ?? I thought it was Click and Joe's was #2...
-

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.
-
If it's 3 it's for me.
-
And I still have no votes...
-

just checking up :gawe: I had ISP issues all last week sio who knows how many people go my messages.. I know a lot of public posts of mine failed to post.

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.
-

I won't call this a thwacker... but yes, videos would make a nice addition for next BOTM's.

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)
-
You mean the RA2ube video uploader? If I were to upload a video splash (within the legal size of course; I know how to get a video below 9 milllion terrabytes), would I need to PM you the link?
-
Yes, but I guess if videos are ever accepted again then I will make an uploader for it.
-
I forgot to post it since I was so tired, but voting ends tonight at 12:00 Central time.
Nobody has shared their bot yet.
-
Congrats to JoeBlo with #3
#1- GK
#2- 090901
#3- JoeBlo
#4- Sonny Resetti
#5- Sparkey
#6- Rolo
#7- Sage
-
Good Job Joe, you won again.
BTW, I built 2. I was eating chocolate while I was building it too.
-
I was #4. I wonder how many BOTM contests I can enter with wheel-less robots?
Congratz to Joe; no shame in losing to the best (by which I mean you too, Sage)
-
Good Job Joe, you won again.
BTW, I built 2. I was eating chocolate while I was building it too.
I personally thought you were ripping off Chocolate my past winning BOTM...
thats to those who voted for me :gawe: I am now back on mr Beetles tail for most wins :P
-
@JB a servo boosting Crawler is brilliant ;) . Crawler bot type FTW. :evilsmile: .
-
Well done Joe.
-
Well done, Joe.
-
Good. I won't see a Cheap Win 3000 upgrade on the Gametechmods homepage all month.
I am now back on mr Beetles tail for most wins :P
That would be his rear abdominal segment. Beetles have no tails.
-
I want download of Joes bot naow!
-

lol

umm maybe.. the servos must be operated in a sequence (something I am working on AIing) but I can foresee many "it doesn't do ANYTHING!!!!!!1!!" if people cant do it correctly, I will promise a video today or tomorrow though...
-
video tis up in the media gallery
-
Good. I won't see a Cheap Win 3000 upgrade on the Gametechmods homepage all month.
What makes his bot not just as cheap? xD
Kidding Joe. Nice Job. I don't know what I have to do to beat you... but I will. Eventually.
-
Wait, I know why Joe won this month, it's his early birthday present.

I would be lying if I said I didn't want to win a May one :P
@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.
-
Next DSL one i'll kick your asses !
-
we shall quote that next time someone else wins :P
you said that before and you were beaten by R0B0 :P
-
I didn't worked hard enough on my entry :P
Edit: Plus i was 2 votes away from winning
-
Alright, outrageous it is. I WILL CATCH UP TO YOU JOE AND CLICK. O:
-
I should get back into these. We'll see soon enough...
-
Yep, me too.... But, Time is NOT on my side, right now.
