1. Meh... Small and messy Splash...
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...
7. Very cool looking bot. But why the www.gametechmods.com (https://gametechmods.com/) link is attached to it...?
8. Battle effective, and cool... Get's my vote! ^_^
9. Amazing work! And Original Robot!
10. meh
11. Nice Gut-Ripper. Nightmare of Popups.
12. Funky Design. :P
13. Very easy to guess who made this. Generic VS, but looks fragile.

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 (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 :gawe:

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)
-

I believe it's from Inf AI, I can't heck 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.

Sonic Rainboom.
Makes SnS 20% Cooler. In 10 Seconds Flat.

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

I doubt the builder *ahem* would use any other square extender. :P
-
I doubt the builder *ahem*
Yeah he doesnt try to hard to hide it does he ? :P
-
Another LW robot named Sonic Rainboom. LOL Now there is a stock LW and a DSL LW one. I did not make that bot.
-

Unless there's a poser, which in this case makes a sloppy job at replicating the signature skin. :P
-
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).
-
Eugh... Am I the only one who doesn't like glowing outlines on bot pics?
-
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)
-
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.
-
I voted.. for mine.. ;)
-
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.
-

Yo, don't go blaming me. I'm told that I need to critique bots, I critique bots and get told off? You people are confusing >.<

Methinks that it's hard to work with a color scheme when the logo you're working with is just magenta and white. Then again, it's their own fault for choosing to rip off T-mobile >.>

It's funny coz IIRC 140cm extenders were banned for this.

I voted number 5, of course. And, no, I didn't build it.

We proved to ACAMS that the .txt was in the game, so he changed the rules.
-
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :FFFUUU
@Scorps: No, it specifically said in the rules that they were allowed
Anyways, some of the bots look interesting, not a clue who built some of the bots towards the end... :gawe:
-
Nah, ACAMS added them after a barrage of logic.
And BOTM is primarily meant for some fun. Hence Clickbeetle's Ice Phoenix winning a couple months ago, and JD's victory last month. =]
I hope this BOTM doesn't turn into all the bronies voting for #5, though.
-
Well now that school is over I have some time for random comments! They all look REALLY good though. I'm impressed.
1: Star Quality? lol, that's a random name. xD Seems like it could survive with a Nifty.
2: Should have named it Spiderbot. :o
3: WHOA underweight. It looks like it's good enough already after seeing that shot of Matrix Array though. :P Cool name, too.
4: Props for being the only bot whose builder I can actually guess.
5: That's some funky srimech you got there. So the sledgehammer is for adding weight to the end of the extender? I don't know if that makes it spin faster, but okay...
6: "The offset weight spinning triggers Servo Boosting..." wait wat. Looks weird, for all I know it can't move at all and just gets counted out at the beginning of the match, but I'll take the builder's word on it. I have no idea how it works, so some Battleshots would have been nice.
7: Definitely unique, not much going on in the splash though. Again, Battleshots would have been cool, especially of bots just being grinded on the juggling discs. :evilsmile:
8: It's Tempus Fugit but...not Tempus Fugit? Oh wait HOLY CRAP it has DSA. Looks great! I will forever idolize the builder of this one. My favourite, hands down.
9: It's Tempus Fugit but...not Tempus Fugit again? Just casters instead of a Snowplow. Nothing special, but definitely looks like it could win lots of fights.
10: One Supervolt for two RADs? How long are your matches, 10 minutes? xD I like the pun on "Mobile".
11: Reminds me of Wavelength from Inf AI. Casters make this look pretty good. I've seen lots of these rams with RADs before, I just don't know how they work...are they more closely related to Jugglers or Rammers? Definitely a bot I'd be scared of if I were to face it in a tournament.
12: Love the name, it really fits the bot! RAD drive and high center of gravity makes it look a bit easily flanked though. Ackbar was LOL.
13: I don't know how you managed to flip Sentinel Observer without getting those 140cm extenders ripped off; they look like candy to any HS or even rammer. :P
-
Oh 140's were allowed. Damn, I had an idea aswell for if they were allowed, ah well, to late now, obviously.
Good turnout overall here though, generally good quality bots here, too lazy to write a full review though ;P

Twisted Cyclone looks like it was made by ian.
Mite is probobly Sage's bot.

Number 5, duh!

Eenie, meanie, miney, mo... *click*

That's why he's hiding it now. It keeps people from being influenced by which bot is winning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yea.. Except the bot in the spalsh looks a little meh.

EMERGENCY is super easy to beat :P
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)
-
#8 is the only other bot with difficult building IMO, so that's my vote.
Well that solves it.. Number 8 is Mr Subtlety :mrgreen:
-
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.

Also...Sonic Rainboom? Really?
What's wrong with the traditional Sonic Boom? :P
-
Regular sonic booms don't have RAINBOWS!

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:

It's part of the MLP insurgence on the boards, and now somebody's trying to conquer BOTM with it.

Actually, a rainbow is created when sunlight is refracted through rain. Though you have to be facing away from the sun, or you can't see it.

Actually, a rainbow is created when sunlight is refracted through rain. Though you have to be facing away from the sun, or you can't see it.
Indeed. No rain equals no refraction of sunlight, which in turn leads to no rainbows. As such, the Rainbows produced by a Rainboom would have to be artificial, not created through means of rain, so if it's a rainbow not produced through sunlight refracting through rain, I cannot consider it a Rainboom without any rain.
So in conclusion, Sonic Booms are more meaningful than Rainbooms, so I think, therefore I am.
Problem, Fluttershy? :trollface

And that's why I didn't vote for #5. =D

Its a show about talking ponies.
Your argument is invalid.
Plus, the raindrops make as much sense as a prism, as shining light through it will also create a rainbow.
So pretty much all you need is a source to 'break' the light, and there you go.
Also, methinks ACAMS is delaying the BOTM winner.

Voting does not end till Saturday midnight central time.....or there abouts.

When I look at the bot and splash quality... The votes doesn't go right...

Bronies voting for #5 for no reason. Yeah, I thought that might happen. =P
-
Am I the only one who can't see the votes?
Oh, and I voted for number 5. A sonic rainboom is awesome. See what it did to Pinkie Pie - it gave her complete happiness, changing her entire life!
It's a happiness nuke!

No, I can't either.

What are you talking about? Number 5 has the best splash and is one of the better built bots on there. The fact that it's pony themed is just icing on the cake.
-
I voted for #10.

That, that it is.

Because it can beat Ememegency? :P

#9 reminds me of one of Luigica's bots (IIRC it was named Trump).
-
I wonder who built #4... :P
-
I think Starcore built #1 because of the bot's name, and that he's #1!
-
Starcore can do a LOT better than #1. Have you seen Tempus Fugit recently?
-
Has he even entered BOTM? Ever?
-
I have seen Tempus Fugit recenctly, and he's easy to beat by n00b's bots(Like sparkey98's Knight Owl).

lol that's because humans tend to be better at driving HS than the AI. Also Knight Owl weighs 284.4 kg. :P

I believe Engage isn't getting to credit it deserves.

I believe Engage isn't getting to credit it deserves.
Now everybody knows who built Engage! :D
On that note, I actually tried replicating Engage (to an extent), but the servo boosting didn't seem to do anything...it wasn't an exact replica, but the components and their setup looked about the same....
-
sparkey98 said he made an error on the weight and that it really weighs 244 kg.
-
I thought we weren't allowing comments until after a winner is decided now? I guess that was ditched.
I demand that Engage be on the bot exchange. I want to see if it really works.
And #11 is the best bot here IMO. Those other HS's look too glitchy.
-
I demand that Engage be on the bot exchange. I want to see if it really works.
Thats probably the BOTM winner anyway :/

And if it wins and does not work , that person who made it will get away with a cheap win, but we don't know because there is no proof that it works.

Meh, servo boosting has been done before, it's nothing special.

On that note, I actually tried replicating Engage (to an extent), but the servo boosting didn't seem to do anything...it wasn't an exact replica, but the components and their setup looked about the same....
I may be good at producing good music, bass playing, guitar playing, drums, and b-boying, but I cannot produce that kind of eye candy for the life of me.

What, making a splash? Those are easy =D
-
Whoever built number 12 should lend me their secrets; I've been trying to revamp Box of Grime with my old archaic building techniques. >.>
-
I'm sure sparkey made #2 because of the splash and paint job. If i'm wrong maybe it's Avalanche, FOPY, or MKB.
-
No, I know who made #2.
-
TeamXtreemer?
-
TeamXtreemer?
No. I will now not give you any more hints.
-
I have a feeling #6 was made by Joe.
-
I have a feeling #6 was made by Joe.
Me also. XD
-
If sparkey did not make #2, maybe he made #13.
-
#4 Looks like Hard Bot's work.
-

Why do you assume he entered?
#4 Looks like Hard Bot's work.
OH NO REALLY
-
It might be a a n00b trying to clone me. It might be my bot, It might not be my bot. I think MKB built #4.
-
#4 Looks like Hard Bot's work.
OH NO REALLY
I felt like being a captain obvious.
#8 is Sage
#9 is Pwnator
Those are my guesses.
-
I reckon #11 could be Sage, or maybe Scrap. #9 might be Pwn, but I keep thinking inf, and I don't know why. I'm fairly confident #12 is Click, however.
-
9 is sage and 8 might be pwn
-
No, I know who made #2.
preytor or you.
-

Congrats to JoeBlo with #6 Engage
I will list the others tomorrow....internet is super slow and I am super tired.
-
omg 10th win good job Joe :o
I still have no idea how it works. It looks like the discs go below the chassis, so the chassis spins instead of the tribar while the tribar just stays there...
LOL at #5 getting 12 votes. And #8 definitely deserved a lot more credit.
-
Man that's BS. That bot isn't even that great. Sonic Rainboom should have won! :realmad(
-
Could you ACAMS tell who build each bot?
-
Ah, my memory failed me, it wasn't 3 below 5, but 1 below 5.
-
So, are we allowed to tell who made them now?
-
3rd ain't bad, (I was #12). Why did you think I was Click NFX?
-
I can't see the results - is that because I didn't vote, or can no one see them?
-

I can see them. You needed to have voted I guess.
-
Yeah ACAMS just enabled the "see results for those that voted" option.
I didnt expect to win actually..
Thought more people would act like a 5 year old this about it..
Man that's BS. That bot isn't even that great.
(honestly if a new way of combining Glitches isnt great, I dont know what is?)
I just entered for old time sake really.. I see I can still cause controversy.. times never change :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.
I can't see the results - is that because I didn't vote, or can no one see them?
Yep your all clear to tell..
-
I dont understand why I got only 1 vote! 7 was mine.
-
Because yours wasn't the best.
-
but it was creative... ._.
-
Creative in a not very cool, not very innovative, not very effective and not well presented way?
-
thanks for bashing me. ._.
-
Looks like a worse version of Leech, IMHOP.
-
I dont understand why I got only 1 vote! 7 was mine.
LOL I thought it was Ians
Dont feel bad, your entries are getting better and I really appreciate the attempt to think out the box.
-
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
-
All Joe has to do to win is make something with servos LOL.
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
-
Hey, it seems to work. =D Nobody can argue with 10 victories.
-
Is there any rule about lying in a BOTM splash? If not, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
-
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
-
Can we see it in action sometime (not soon, just whenever)?
-

-
*facepalm* I skipped that post...
It'l be nice to see who entered some of these bots.
-
I made the best one, #2 of course. ;)
And yes it was just me having a laugh.
-
Tough luck pony people, you don't win today :P
-
NOOOO

NOOOO

Great bots. Everyone's (except number 1) got at least one vote. Don't bash yourself too much Scourge, you still got votes and that means quite a bit!
BOTM is getting popular and competitive again. Congrats to Joe for the win!

How many votes? I know Hydro voted for me, so that's one vote

Ah. Well, at least I didn't come last! :D
(That's Hydro, EVO and... that person whom I thought was trying to troll)
-
Aw poor Bubbleman...at least it's an improvement from your previous bots. :] (he made #1)
-
Some "Fun Facts" I just dug up
2/4 May BOTM's have been won by me
2/4 May BOTM's have been won by a Servo Boosting Crawler
3/4 May BOTM's were stock
(Thus my only wins in May have come from a Stock Servo Boosting Crawler)
The Last time a Servo Boosting Crawler won a competition was BOTM May 2010
My record for May BOTM's is 2-1
My first 2011 BOTM Win
-
Hey ACAMS can we see the DQ'd splash now? :o
NO, it was DQ'ed
#1 - Bubbleman
#2 - Craaig
#3 - Fracture
#4 - Hard Bot
#5 - J
#6 - JoeBlo
#7 - Jonzu95
#8 - NFX
#9 - Pwnator
#10-SOTG
#11-Scrap Daddy
#12-Squirrel_Monkey
#13-Vertigo
-
Sage didn't enter wat I thought he made #11 >_<
Anyway WOO I got in the top 5. :] Pretty good for my first time entering (and having been on the forums for like a month)
I voted for my own entry, of course. :evilsmile:
-

No, what ACAMS posted was who made what.
EDIT: Nvrmnd
That's not what you're referring to.

wooop

I reckon #11 could be Scrap. #9 might be Pwn
Oh yeah. =D
-
(honestly if a new way of combining Glitches isnt great, I dont know what is?)
Ponies on the front page of course! But seriously, I respect your building prowess and all that. Your bot was the most innovative. :approve:
-
FFFFFFFF- My bot was a whole 7 votes away.
To be honest, I knew 6 would win from the start.

More to herd them off the page, really. Besides, if the stare doesn't scare me, it won't scare them :approve:

Haha i wonder if 8,9, and 11 got less votes because people thought they were mine.
-
What if there's a tie for first in a BOTM?
-
Then I vote, or leave the poll open longer.
-
wheeeee
-
Then I vote, or leave the poll open longer.
I doubt ACAMS is a Bronie
Joe wins anyway, then.
-
Yes J, I think if there had been a Tie inbetween 5 and 6, Acams would have voted for 6, regardless of what it looked like.
-
I would have voted #8........then 6, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9,10,11,12,13, then
5 left voting open another month
J/K :p

I have seen Tempus Fugit recenctly, and he's easy to beat by n00b's bots(Like sparkey98's Knight Owl).
I'm sorry for the late reply, but jesus christ HB shut up. TF is one of the GREATEST Lws to ever enter the arena, and you are NOT in the right place to insult anything built by starcore!
And you couldn't build that good if you tried
-
I'm guessing that he isn't talking about the v4 one. v3 one is ok but v4 TF is fantastic.

Thank you for sticking up for me and mine. Some forget that Starcore v1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 were created 7 years ago and I would hope people have learned a few new building techniques since then.
Also many novice bot builders don't understand the difference between Human driven vs AI driven bots. AI driven bots can be fast and aggressive but most any decent human driver can get around them and exploit any weakness or alternate methods of attack (up to and including run away till the AI bot runs low on power).
I am proud of Tempest Fugit 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th across the years and many of the other bots in the Starcore packs. Proud to have stimulated so many bot builders.
Appreciate the vote of confidence.

What? Starcore still pops in occasionally too? Cool. :gawe:

When I made Starcore v3 I had a size limit on the how much space I could use to host files and by using WinRar could just barely make it fit. That and back then many members were using modems so shrinking it as much as possible was critical and WinRar of the time offered better compression than WinZip.
You can get WinRar trial here: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)
Or you can as I recall use the free option of 7Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ (http://www.7-zip.org/) to extract .rar files.

hey Starcore, nice to see you around :D

I've been using the same trial version of WinRar for the past two years.

The Core Signal, maybe? It could illuminate the skies of GTM with a Tempus Fugit emblem whenever we need him around ;)

Does anyone else wonder how Starcore appears as soon as anyone mentions him or his AI packs?
TESTING: 1,2,1,2
STARCORE A.I.
*waves*
Starcore
-
Only seems to be on main forum that this Core Signal works though *nods*
-
Look where those quotes were from...

Okay then, just Playground :D
(Because StarCore is a hierarchy in ST, and has appeared (as a hierarchy) at least once in my art thread and I think it appeared in my pub too)
