2. Boring looking bot... And Messy Splash.
3. Cool, but Too much stuff in the splash...
4. Oh come on... Did that guy think he will win with that? ._.
5. I know who built this... And it looks good but doesn't get my vote. :P
6. Interesting robot... But It's a crawler so... yeah...

8. Battle effective, and cool...  Get's my vote! ^_^
9. Amazing work! And Original Robot!

Because I can, I'll review these. It's not like I'm a good bot builder, but I really really like reviewing stuff so here goes:

1) 1.1kg underweight, you should've used the space given to show your bot, making it small like that is just messy. It's a nice bot in itself and everything fits in nice and snug, but the splash kinda lets it down. 8/10 for bot, 3/10 for splash, 5/10 over all

2) My my... a whole 7.7kg underweight? Surely you can be more efficient than that? Using Iron Spikes instead of Razor Tips will add on another 6kg of weight there. And, forgive me for asking, but why use two pinks? Even a Nifty gives out more power than that. Now, I can't remember the weights of pinks or Niftys for the life of me, but I know what the more efficient choice would be there. Also, what was your inspiration for the splash? A dinosaur firing a rainbow laser out of its mouth? In summary, your bot could be more efficient and built more to weight, and you didn't even use a custom skin e_e. 5/10 for the bot, 5/10 for the splash, 5/10 over all

3) Ooh, SnS! But... it's 14.2kg underweight... But the light effects on the text are cool! And you immobilised Inside the Clock, which you've made into something funny XD I'll give you a 10/10 on your splash for humor, epicness and awesome, but I'm afraid your bot's only going to get a 6/10 from me. So... much... underweight... *obsessed with getting to the weightlimit and I blame you people >.>* That's 8/10 over all

4) Uhh, what? You submit this and call it a splash? 0/10 for the splash, can't see the inside of the bot so I can't really rate it, but it's SEVENTEEN POINT FOUR KILOGRAMS underweight e_e I'll give the bot 3/10, giving you a 2/10 total. Sorry, but that could seriously be MUCH better... *slopes away to get coffee*

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

6) This bot is certainly unique (from what I've seen - but I make SnS and piston spinners mostly, so this isn't actually saying much), but you're going to have to explain something to me (I know you can't actually tell me because you'd be giving away that it's your bot, but maybe someone else can). Where's the battery *is retarded*? Well, your splash is nice and neat, but your bot's 3.1kg underweight (Don't get mad at me, this conforming to weightlimit thing has been pounded into my head). I'll give you a 7/10 for the splash and a 9/10 for the bot, giving you an 8/10 over all

7) Okay dude, I trust you've heard of DSA, right? Well, plastic's really quite weak as a chassis material, isn't it? Like, the weakest? Put DSA on and you'll be doing a lot better, methinks. You get 6/10 for the bot, because it's plastic and underweight, and 5/10 for the splash, because it's really quite... plain =/ That's 6/10 over all

8) Nice looking bot, only 1kg underweight... but what's this? I can't see inside it >.< You've made the spinner thingies go... through things? Wow, I wanna learn how to do that! Your splash is kinda simple too... I'll give you 7/10 for the bot (assuming it's all nice and snug inside) and 7/10 for the splash, giving you 7/10 over all

9) Your design is certainly interesting underweight, but interesting. Is the chassis material clear, or am I imagining that? I'#ll give you an 8/10 for the bot and 8/10 for the splash, so that's an 8/10 over all

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

11) Is this two-rotor thing a popular design or something? Still interesting either way, I'm just curious. Not bad with the weight, but what's its name? I can't read that e_e I'll give you an 8/10 for both splash and bot, giving you 8/10 over all

12) Your splash made me laugh, that's something. And it's near the weightlimit too, that's also something. It's an interesting design as well, so I'll give the bot 7/10 and the splash 8/10 - 8/10 over all

13) KYE THERE'S NO RAZORS 8D! But, er...what's with the square extenders? What do they do? And you're another one who hasn't put the inside of your bot out for showing... I'm getting slightly suspicious now... It's like a conspiracy. I'll give both the bot and the splash 6/10, which is a 6/10 over all


...and now my brain's exhausted. The quality of reviews has decreased all the way, that much I can see by re-reading e_e
I need more brain-stamina


tl;dr: Lot of blabbering about weights, highest score 8/10, not voting for anyone

Where's the battery *is retarded*?

If you move your eyes over to this recent thread..

https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,6425.0.html

The same question was asked there (so dont beat yourself up over it)

to quote my answer "Servos dont require Battery power but WILL drain it if you have supplied it"

So the builder of number 6 wouldn't have needed to use Batteries..

That's interesting - I'll have to remember that for the future and it certainly justifies the 9/10 I gave

[Fracture]

Can you vote for your own bot? (hint hint)

Anyway #'s 3, 6, 8, 9, and 12 look pretty cool. I have no idea where the AI bots from splash #12 are from though. <_> (I probably should XD)
I hate when people don't put the armour in their splashes though, because I seriously can't figure it out by myself. Most of the time bots with unknown armour tend to have Plastic though, based on my intuition and the fact that they'd probably put it on the splash if it had DSA. (Plastic gives it more of a negative feel)

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I believe it's from Inf AI, I can't though as my computer with it on is dead.
I could guess who made a few of these but I fear the wrath of ACAMS.

[freeziez]

Sonic Rainboom.

Makes SnS 20% Cooler. In 10 Seconds Flat.

[Scorpion]

On the last one, is that a 140 CM extender?

[Pwnator]

On the last one, is that a 140 CM extender?

I doubt the builder *ahem* would use any other square extender. :P

[JoeBlo]

I doubt the builder *ahem*

Yeah he doesnt try to hard to hide it does he ? :P

[GroudonRobotWars]

Another LW robot named Sonic Rainboom. LOL Now there is a stock LW and a DSL LW one. I did not make that bot.

[Pwnator]

I doubt the builder *ahem*

Yeah he doesnt try to hard to hide it does he ? :P

Unless there's a poser, which in this case makes a sloppy job at replicating the signature skin. :P

[NFX]

I think I know who built 5, 6, 9, 11, 12 and 13. Not saying who, though, that would spoil the surprise.

DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW WHO BUILT 4! :P

6 would've been more awesome with a vid, though (or at least some battleshots).

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Eugh... Am I the only one who doesn't like glowing outlines on bot pics?

[JoeBlo]

Eugh... Am I the only one who doesn't like glowing outlines on bot pics?

Apparently so given the amount of people that used it :P

Its not as bad as the eye burning pink background (no offense to the owner)

[J]

I have a feeling #6 will probably win.
Thats why I voted for it.
Plus, it would be a little "unfair" if I voted for me own bot.

[cephalopod]

I voted.. for mine..

[martymidget]

Voted for a number. Yeah, look at me, all indie...

Some really harsh comments back there really. Considering BOTM is considered as fun by most people, they were a little OTT.

Also, #2 has a dinosaur firing a rainbow out of its mouth. That oozes more awesome than a particularly oozy spot or something.

Good bots all round though, really.
