Creative in a not very cool, not very innovative, not very effective and not well presented way?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I though SM was Click because of the spider/insect reference. And it reminds me slightly of Slaying Mantis, one of his earlier victories. I have to say JoeBlo deserved the win, I thought, it was definitely a unique and interesting design. Sonic Rainboom, to me, was just too flimsy, with the exposed extenders everywhere, and the motors and piston ready to be taken off. I think Jonzu's bot was an interesting ides, but it could have been pulled off better.

#8 is Sage

Wrong. #8 was me. =D It's kinda wierd being compared to Sage in these things. But at least nobody thought it was me. Simple splash seemed to work this time.

#8, #9 and #11 all had a "Sage style of Splash" so it made it hard to figure out who was who :P

NFX usually has the themed splash with the jokes

#3's splash was like NFX but the bot wasn't. All Joe has to do to win is make something with servos LOL.

I'll watch as you all run away from me really fast

My entry was #10. T-mobile. The splash and bot sucked, but what could I do with white and magenta? It was the first poker bot I've ever made, my first BOTM entry and the first time I've ever remodelled the chassis more than once. I didn't want to use anime as everyone would know it was me and then I'd get no votes, but what I made sucked even worse than #4's splash >.<

Next time I enter, I'll think of something better. Something unique (who am I kidding? Besides building to weight, my bots are always going to suck and be unoriginal heaps of trash). I'll think of something cool and not-anime (so you can't tell it's me, of course, and then I can slate myself with no backlash) and maybe find a better company logo to rip off


tl;dr: I had the worst splash and bot there X3

Its the only department im skilled at..

I just make all kinds of strange things and keep trying to have them do something cool.. then make a final robot based around that.

Actually I was watching videos of my Synergy / Unity Servo Boosting just before I came up with Engage

Id say you would have to prove it at some point or be stripped of the win..

At least I treat it that way when I explain my robots on splashes.

Madiaba mentioned before about just raw video samples of robots doing what they say they do (so no fancy editing or anything)

I was actually going to film my robot and anonymously upload it to the GTM Youtube account as proof but didnt get the time since I built the robot the day before voting started :P

Well as requested I will upload a video sometime of course (bet you all want CCIV videos before that though) but the general rule of thumb with all my servo boosters still applys..

Since most need specific sequences of controls, etc to "Engage" I dont upload the bot file to prevent people complain that it doesn't work when the operator is at fault.
