#1 poor but i think it's their first botm entry so it's not that bad.

#2 probably the best built of all the entries. great splash as well.

#3 not really a fan of irl but this does look cool

#4 mr bones wild vroom vroom

#5 i dont think it needs three wedges.

#6 Interesting design. has piglets for drive and is a little messy imo.
DSL-IRL is the libtard’s meta. Go drink more soylent, retard! #BLUELIVESMATTER

Well, 2nd isn't too bad. At least someone thought I was Click again. I spent so long on the splash which is based on the Bourne Identity box art which I don't think anyone noticed. But I couldn't think of a cool bot design so just threw that thing together.

Congratulations to the Steg bot builder. It's super cool even if the Splash is lacking imo. (It's Bot of the Month, not Splash of the Month after all).
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Oh, this ended? Didn't notice. Well done to... whoever made #3! Sorry, it doesn't say who made what bot; not sure if it's supposed to.

I'm actually amazed mine got any votes at all. I made bot and the splash in about 4 hours and just procrastinated on Need For Speed for the rest of the deadline. Reeeeeeeeeallllly didn't put much as much thought as I probably should've into the bot.

By the way, the title in my splash was referencing this;

That also prompted all of the strikethroughs in the text. I probably overdid it, in hindsight.

Given how this is over and how I probably won't stay here for long I might as well say this a bit late:
I made 1. and knew how bad it was.
After seeing that a next BOTM contest is up I didn't think about joining it since I'm not good at DSL, however after seeing some BOTMs I thought I might as well do something so we have something to judge other than joke/meme boxes with no content in it, wasn't until the last day that I worked on this thing, yet for some reason it's still listed first(unless the list is alphabetical).

The original concept was to build something like Wild Thing's Series 6 version, being able to drive both ways up while having a disc on the front.
In the end it didn't work out at all, combat peformance is terrible, can't run upside down(originally wanted to add wheels but anchors wouldn't work out well and keep it off balance, the other support wheels from DSL would of course allow no clipping so it just ended up with one caster wheel. Wasn't until the last minute where I noticed that the bot still had 4 useless baseplate anchors in it so I had to redo the screenshots as well(looking at it now I really should've put a big and a small battery on one side and a big + control board on the other)and it wasn't until I already sent it in that I noticed that it uses Mudrunner's tyres(since everything else was too small, only bike wheels would've fit on it, but hell no as if I would put those on there), guess that didn't break the AI rule in the end as those parts are unlocked by default.

The wheel distance isn't even symmetrical(so one wheel almost sticks out), if it wasn't for the angle that the screenshots were taken in it wouldn't have looked as well as it did. I think the best thing about it is the fact that the disc spins at crazy fast speeds and the paintjob.
