Obvious win for #4
-
I've got suspects for who entered #1, #2, and #4, which coincidentally also happen to be the best entries (although #2 vs. #5 is debatable). #3 gets nostalgia points for reminding me of Pillar of Fire.
Lots of good variety this time around, which was quite unexpected given the weight limit. Props to everyone who entered.
Obvious win for #4
It has no name. IT MUST BE DISQUALIFIED
-
#1 really caught my eye, it gets my vote.
-
Ultragrind's weapon setup is really sexy but I gave my vote to the starship.

I think "This side up" was supposed to be its name. It's between 1 and 4 for me; 1 for the best artwork and 4 for novelty
-
Scout Starship looks the best *hopes it's not NFX*.
-
Voted #1
-
i voted #1
-
I like 1# and 4#, though I highly doubt 4 can turn. 5# is also pretty cool.
-
1 reminds me of classius
voted 1
-
1) Looks effective, pop-ups probably could easily destroy it.
2) That motor looks annoyingly exposed, other than that it looks like it could kill.
3) Hmm, it seems powerful, but if anything got past the swords it wouldn't last very long
4) It looks like this one has what the others don't have, a balanced amount of offense and defense. Voted.
5) Well, it has a good weapon and DSA armor to boot. I'll bet the wheels get knocked off easily though.
Intresting entries this time around.
-
I don't really like #1 for some reason, I don't know what it is about it. It might be the wheels going through the angled parts of the chassis, it just looks a little bit ungainly for my liking.
#2 looks to me like a DSL kind of bot built in Stock. Shame the stock parts are so fragile, but it's a pretty good build.
#3 ......it's kinda like Pillar of Fire, only not as good. But with the weight constraints, I suppose it's to be expected. Swords aren't used as often as they should be, perhaps.
I'm pretty sure #4 is supposed to be called This Side Up. Interesting idea with the splash, though, gives it some good fun value.
#5 is a decent design, but I think it would work better as a standard rammer. Axles look a bit ungainly, and slightly pointless to me.
-
1- yesh...................... [voted]
2- exposed motor and drives is GROSS
3- ineffective weapons, weak drive, underpowered... :SFTW
4- generic z-tek and 3 razor HS but with casters
5- im pressing start and nothing is happening gay
-
1 got me. If NFX getrs this again, I'll be amazed
-
#4 Mind = Blown
-
#1 Just because it's different compared to the rest of the lot.
-
voted 4 cause its original (for me) and its combat effective (for me) with a nice looking splash
-
I like both #1 and #4! I can't choose! :ermm:
-
I believe that #2 is a Stock version of New Ruin.
As for me, #4 has my vote. Good splash, and a very solid concept as well.
-
#1 gets my vote, #4 came quite close though
-
Not sure whether to vote for 1 or 4.
-

This.
However, after much thought... 1.
-
#4 is totally Click's style.
-
#4, because it's effective, fairly original, and quite cool.
#1 gets second for me though :P
-
I think "This side up" was supposed to be its name.
That does make more sense. I thought it was just there to confuse you like the rest of the splash. xD
1) Looks effective, pop-ups probably could easily destroy it.
lol popups easily destroy everything except wedgeless VS, HS with good reach, and caster armoured bots. Not that it matters because most BW popups aren't exactly great.

I think #1 is NFX. :P
#1 got my vote anyway. XD
-
Voted for #4. #1 is just meh
-
yay

Congratulations to Fracture with Scout Starship
#1-Fracture
#2-Jonzu95
#3-Lightning S
#4-NFX
#5-Wacky Bob
-
Yay for fracture!
-
I just can't get three in a row, can I? =P
Well done, though, Fracture. You're getting quite good at these.
-
3 votes, new record! I've entered three other times and have always gotten exactly one vote. Also, every time I've entered, I've either been the first entry or the last.
Congrats Fracture!
-

I'M SORRY :(
I'm shocked with the results. It's not every BOTM an entry gets more votes than all the others combined (except for the one preceding, I know). I thought it would be a lot closer, especially after NFX said

which scared the heck out of me. I was like NFX Y U DO THIS TO ME?! Plus a few people thought #1 was NFX's entry, which was probably a discouraging factor.
Anyway thanks for the votes guys, even if they weren't for me. This was a BOTM with really good diversity among its entries, and they all deserved a vote.
-
YESH !!!!!!1!11
-
I think #1 is NFX. :P
I was wrong. XP
well my favorite bot won, congrats Fracture! :)
-
'Grats to Fracture.
-
Even Lightning S. got more votes that me?
OH COME ON
-
And another splash of the month win !
-
And another splash of the month win !
Agreed...
-
And another splash of the month win !
wtf
If it's Splash of the Month, NFX would have won in a landslide. Fracture's splash is a bit too cluttered but the bot made up for it.
-
What I meant is that it was just a cool bot and cool splash. No efficiency at all here, and not a very original design as well.
-
The bot has effectively countered most rammers and HSes (which dominate the weight class). I wouldn't say it's inefficient at all.
Which means I must klone it when I have the time. D:

I was going for an Artbot, actually. Being combat effective is just icing on the cake.

sweet
eddy fracture you're cool man
and jonz you're splash was OK, it was just... empty. put some battleshots or text there

I wasn't trying to sway votes, Fracture, I just didn't like your bot very much. It's not really the sort of thing I would build. Although it was quite wierd when I started out getting good in BOTM, people were thinking I was either Pwnator or Sage. :gawe:

Rammers used to be king in BW class .... my bot Tourneymaster BW Gold (http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/tourneymasterbwgold.jpg) used to be the best BW back in the day beating most LW (stupid name, I know .. I think Starcore used it in beta4 and renamed it) so Scout would probably do real good until it ran out of battery.

fracture and nfx compete to beat joeblo
i called it

Well, JoeBlo has 11 BOTM wins, this is Fracture's first BOTM win, and I'm currently on 7. Clickbeetle's on 9, so he's a more likely candidate than Fracture and myself to top JoeBlo's tally. According to my maths. Which may or may not be entirely wrong.
-
Congrats to the winner.
-
So, what does the next BOTM look like?
-
Probably DSL .... let me finish this bottle of whiskey and I will come up with something!
-
Alcohol fuels ideas. Like those guys who stole that penguin in Australia.
Shame I don't drink, I'd probably have won about 20 BOTM's if I did. =P

iThink it will bw flae weite 124 or les

I'm naming my next bot "flae weite". Though I still haven't made a bot to represent "Moggot Soup".
Man, I love it when ACAMS drinks. So inspiring.

Son of Gaff Square Blade Front Four Wheels. :gawe:
A AW BOTM might be quite interesting, though, given the tight weight constraints. There might be quite a few different entries as we all try to make designs that work.

You aren't fooling anyone with you faking stupidity, boss.
