Yes, I noticed it was more like a FBS, but I allowed it.

I don't know your idea of a FBS but #3 certainly isn't one.

Who could #4 possibly be?
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2011
Post by: GoldenFox93 on October 29, 2011, 10:31:31 AM
My vote goes with Number 1.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2011
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on October 29, 2011, 10:34:25 AM
#1 is like, lets make a DSL bot, add some IRL features, then add some DSL-style armour then try and make it IRL again by using the Tornado weapon. THen go skinning crazy!
And LOL at #3
No vote as of yet.

I don't really like #1 for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, something just seems kinda...off. I think it's been over-skinned, it looks like a bit of a mess to me. My vote went to #5.
 
Also, #3 is not a drum, it's a rammer.

#3 is a Drum, not a drum. He was close though.

My vote would've gone to #6 but tbh #5 was just a bit better for DSL

NFX, It is a drum :P

Post by: MassimoV on October 29, 2011, 04:11:37 PM
1:I like all the skins. Pretty cool.
2:Cleanly built. Probably SKBT.
3:Loophole!
4:Looks cool but it's unrealistic.
5:Love the way this one was built. Got my vote.
6:I like the use of skiis but I could do without the barrel roll.

#3 was the lulzy choice, although #1 is awesome too.

#3 totally gets all my votes though.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2011
Post by: Clickbeetle on October 29, 2011, 10:53:49 PM
Vixen has a very cool skin but the bot itself is sort of meh.  Proof that art skill is more important than building skill.
 
Drum literallly made me lol until my eyes watered.  Simply brilliant interpretation of the rules.
 
Bladefront is probably the best design here.  Gets my vote.

Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2011
Post by: Naryar on October 30, 2011, 09:01:30 AM
1 is cool looking but is nothing great otherwise, 2 is OK building-wise but not especially attractive, 3 is not a drum, 4 is both cool and efficient and somehow original (even if it's unrealistic and not the best use of weight that can be done), 5 is old (and R0B0's), and 6 is just a big unfunny attempt to use old memes.

I therefore vote for 4.

This month will be DSL MW Drum bot
  • Realistic rule DOES NOT APPLY

Just wanted to point this out in fairness for #4

So since you just pulled off a self righteous outburst to defend that bot, I will guess you built it...

It is not a drum in the RA2 sense.

Nah, it's alright- just that Battle Effectiveness isn't necessarily the deciding factor in BOTM- if anything, it's been the opposite in most cases. Just look at some of the more visually-orientated designs that have won it (IE. Siege Tank)   =P
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2011
Post by: Jonzu95 on November 02, 2011, 06:57:19 AM
Siege Tank was awesome, that Drum was not. It's just a chassis with few extenders.

I am extremely disappointed that #3 was allowed at all. IT'S A RAMMER. Thus, it should have been disqualified immediately. I'm shocked, frankly, that so many people voted for it.

Also, #4 was my entry. Disappointed at the turnout, to be honest. =P Hopefully will do better next time.

I found it humourous but didn't vote for it due to the inevitable Giraffe-style backlash.

#1 is like, lets make a DSL bot, add some IRL features, then add some DSL-style armour then try and make it IRL again by using the Tornado weapon. THen go skinning crazy!

^^^^ This.   XD

S_M was on the money there.  I apologize for winning with a somewhat weak bot.  I was shooting for a DSL oriented bot (non IRL realistic based) and the original weapon was a drum with beater bars, but I just didn't like how it looked aesthetically.  So then I threw on the Tornado drums and it looked nice, however I had already skinned the Panic Attack skirts to matched.  At that point I was like "wheeeeeeeee! whoTFcares!"  and threw those on anyways.  The end result is a odd mess (albeit a pretty one though!)  Like a Picasso of a DSL bot. 

The granny wheel reskins are badass though. Yeah, I am going to brag... those took me like 2 hours to center and make perfect.  I am going to console myself that I won based on the wheels alone.  :P

Can't believe that NFX guessed that I built it.  I guess my inefficient-yet-pretty bot style is getting more notorious....  I totally voted for your bot though.  I think it is a great build.

Thanks for the votes guys.

The criteria was a "DSL MW drum bot"
Is it DSL? Yes.
Is it a MW? Yes.
Is it a drum? Yes.
Is it a bot? Yes.
 
The rules never specified that the robot had to have a drum weapon. Therefore #3 was perfectly legal. And awesome.

What's it a clone of?

1) It's not a clone of any of my bots - the DSL drums I've won BotM for have been Barbarous-style drums like so:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42156mwwr3ck.png)
 
2) If anything, it's a clone of Sage's HW Mammoth. I've built LW versions of it too a while back (the first ones showcased, IIRC), but I never built a MW.

I was going for IRL style and it fights quite well in that regard.
 
Also I was looking for an excuse to use extenders for a mini-drum weapon.
 
I think that's the least votes I've ever gotten in BOTM though.  Thank you J so I didn't get 0 votes!
 
And #3 was Kurt Wylde???  I thought for sure it had to be J.
