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

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

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]

4- generic z-tek and 3 razor HS but with casters

voted 4 cause its original (for me) and its combat effective (for me) with a nice looking splash

Post by: COOLRUNNER87 on April 29, 2012, 11:06:14 PM
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.

#4, because it's effective, fairly original, and quite cool.

#1 gets second for me though :P

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.

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
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.
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.

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.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2012
Post by: Naryar on May 02, 2012, 04:17:42 AM
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.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM May 2012
Post by: Pwnator on May 02, 2012, 04:51:28 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.
