Gee, I wonder who built Sonic Rainboom. :ermm:
Well, it wasn't me, if that's what you think. It's a very well-built bot though, so it was obviously SOMEONE with actual building skills.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

The not-seeing-the-votes thing started last month, because it was felt people were being influenced by which bot was winning at the time.

5) *comes back from getting coffee* VFKDMHGDKGHDKJLHDFKJHGDFKGJFD PONIES. The bot itself looks good - though ever so slightly underweight - though I'd probably end up wielding it like an SnS XD I'll give you 3/10 for the splash and a 7/10 for the bot, giving you a 5/10 over all - but that's because I'm not a big fan of the ponies and that probably makes me a bit biased


Only 3/10 for the splash? It has the best splash there besides number 9.

10) FINALLY SOMEONE CONFORMS TO THE WEIGHTLIMIT! But it's pink... and a rip-off of T-mobile. WHO CARES IF IT'S NICE AND SNUG!? IT'S ON PINK! But it trounced EMERGENCY. I mean, you've gotta have guts to put an LW against the best HW Stock has to offer. And it takes sheer stupidity to win. I'm going to give you an 8/10 for your bot (It's up to weight and beat EMERGENCY! I mean, come on!), but only 3/10 for your splash (I... HATE... PINK...), giving you a 5/10 over all
LOL.
EMERGENCY is super easy to beat :P

Axon can't turn. Too bad most builders don't know this rule, that a sideways bot can't turn. Lameeee, but nice build anyway.

#8 is the only other bot with difficult building IMO, so that's my vote.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Axiom...? Is that an entry? :s

Edit: Oh, Axon. I misread it as "#9 is the only other bot with difficult building". :P

I know, I tried doing something similar, and was vastly disappointed that I can't use half sheet as frontal armor.

I did think #9 would have difficulty turning. I encountered the same problem a while back with a DSL rammer, that's how I know about it.

I'd quite like to see see what mind created #3's splash, though. I almost seizur'd.

Yes, but it's obvious from their splash that they're an amateur, so maybe they thought that would be enough to try and up their credit. They'll never win though - and it's their own fault for ripping from T-mobile (which has a rubbish logo)
And I had to give them a bit of credit SOMEWHERE. I could've put down the brutal truth (though I doubt people will read my critiuqes from now on, too much rambling about weight :D) and gave them a 3, but I was trying to be nice instead of just slamming negativity in. I mean, they did put effort into it, by the looks of it (again, I'm assuming they're an amateur)

My personal favourites were #6, #8, #9, and #11. I can't help thinking #11 would have done better if the motors were the other way around.

But a Rainboom doesn't have any actual rain, so therefore it's misleading. At least an actual Sonic Boom does what it says on the tin    :rolleyes:
