Only three entries? Well, these do look pretty kickass for BOTM entries, so it may be close.

#1: Not bad at all. The splash seems pretty ominous though. Dunno who made it though
#2: Haha. It's funny on it's own terms, but it kinda... meme-y, if that makes any sense. I have absolutely no idea who made it though.
#3: Looks pretty good, both as a bot and splash. I have a feeling Thrackerzod may have made it though.

No clue for who to vote for this time. They are all awesome in some sort of way.

Edit: Now I'm getting a tiny feeling 09 made #2 now. Still taking a huge shot in the dark though.

playzooki didn't enter/10

all aboard the #1 train. choo choo

though #2 made me laugh, i must say, and it has a nice design but #1 is an hybrid so there's not much choice

Gonna go with 2. Looks cool.

1 - I swear I have seen a bot just like this entered into botm, kinda meh because of that
2 - It's old school and I love it because of that. Catgirl theme is questionable though.
3 - It's a basic hw popup, nothing special

Voted 2

Thank goodness playzooki did not enter this time!

#2 will claim my vote.

1 - Looks good, but something about the way the text in the lower left overlaps the robot throws me off.
2 - so kawaii
3 - Generic, but alright.  Splash needs to be more exciting, I think.  It seems kinda flat.

Well I think we already know who has won this anyway.

All good builds, but 1 is the obvious choice here.

Few entries, but thankfully all of them look decent.

#1 is a KaiZa clone, but looks even better than the original.  Splash is dark and minimalistic, but it works.
#2 is certainly something; you almost never see any Backscratcher clones.  Very much kawaii as f***.
#3 is well built, but honestly doesn't belong in a BOTM competition.  The setup is generic, the paintjob is average, and beating Rebel 2 says nothing about its effectiveness unless this was 10 years ago.

Voted for #2; even though it's probably the least combat-efficient bot here, it's the most unique and has the best splash (the catgirl theme is awesome, I don't care what you think).

#1 Good design, but not interesting enough. Seems like Redace.
#2 Obviously not the most effective design, but most interesting, (lol). My guess is 090901.
#3 Decent build, but boring. I say Thrackerzod.

Voted for 2.

1 looks amazing
2 made me LOL
3 :|

So my vote is for one of these three bots. There... I think I nailed that one

Chalk another one up for RedlineM203. Congratulations!

Post by: Thrackerzod on May 03, 2015, 07:54:10 PM
Well, I tried.

I thought Delta Thunder was pretty good before I saw the other entries.  It was pretty clearly outclassed, though.  One day, I'll beat someone who isn't playzooki.

Redline? Really? I am shocked. That's three in a row he's got now. But damn, lost by three votes. Also, that's three times when I've entered in a row where I've been the first option to vote for. I guess that's a new way people can figure me out in BOTM. :/

[Insert post from the April post-vote discussion saying to let me win, but it was deleted]

I went for the crazy entry, expecting not to win. The grave realisation this is going to be on the home page for a month, with my (old) username next to it. Oh fack.

CONTEXTCONTEXTCONTEXT: Body Pillow was my Kawaii Fun Time Deathmatch Extreme Waifu Edition entry before I remembered I basically can't build any sort of stock bot anymore. It took around 16 days to actually finish, starting from around the 23rd April. Tried to emulate Alien Queen without actually being good enough to emulate Alien Queen.

I'm debating if I should stop doing BOTM and let someone else win, but that's both a bit insulting and given only 3 entries this time including mine.. perhaps not as harmless as it would have been a few years back.

I took away just enough votes for RedAce not to win.  My bad.

Red there was once a time where JoeBlo/Clickbeetle won every month without complaint. Don't worry about it.

True. Just this feels somewhat sloppy. They innovated, I put Felicia on a white cuboid and gave it razors.

And maybe after you realized it's a MW tourney.  ;) I suspected it was inspired by that tournament though.
