#3 NOT WHAT WE MEANT BY DRUM XD
i wonder who #2 is...
-
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.
-
i wonder who #2 is...
I don't have a clue who #2 is either...
#3 made me laugh.
-
Voted #1
Who could #4 possibly be?
-
My vote goes with Number 1.
-
#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.
-
#1 is truly best of those.

Yeah, #1 looks weird...
#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
-
I voted #5
-
Like the look of #4
-
*doesn't play DSL and won't vote*
But I like #4's splash. #6 comes in a close second.
-
i'm guessing jonzy made the furry bot. :rolleyes:
-
Jonzu isn't THAT good. My guess is JD.
-
Obviously (http://lulzy.info/index.php?title=Obviously) S_M made #5.
-
Have to admit, I don't like any one of them enough to actually vote.
-
I didn't enter.
-
DO A BARREL ROLL
and I love 1. IDK what you are all talking about.
-
omg 3
-
omg 3
quoted for truth
-
Voted #5.
-
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.
-
The Starfox 64 player that I am, I was obligated to vote for #6.
-
#3 was the lulzy choice, although #1 is awesome too.
#3 totally gets all my votes though.
-
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.
-
THREE
THREE
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
3 is by far my favourite. But I don't want a Giraffe-style argument, so 5.
-
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.
-
I voted 5

Voted for 4. I think it's pretty slick.
-
number 3 FTW!
-
4:Looks cool but it's unrealistic.

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
-
ACAMS never puts in a realism rule though.

Heh, that is a valid point. XD

#3 is too a drum!
-
It is a rammer that looks like a percussion instrument. Not a drum. I have already told you this. =D

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.
-
Actually, I didn't enter, but it totally fits with my sense of humor.
-

But not the building rules. =P
-
I voted for #1.
-
ACAMS apparently decided it did. After he never specified that it had to have a drum weapon.
-
#3 is more of a drum than any other drums can drum.
-
I voted for #4, as it reminds me of a middleweight version of Pwnator's Skeksis.
-
Oh, what a surprise. #1 won.
I don't even think it was that well done TBH.
-
I'll agree with S_M.
-
i didn't like #1 tbh, it wasn't as good as the others.
-
It was an IRL style bot, so atm it was an bound to win, ridiculously enough.
-
Well #3 got in 2nd XD
-
1 was a bit boring IMO and had bad screenshots.
-
I hate #3. I'm glad it didn't win. It's not BATTLE-EFFECTIVE. I don't see anything cool about it anyway.

Play on words, mate =P
Although, since when was battle-effectiveness the deciding factor in BOTM, anyway?
-
And sorry my bad language. I just don't like it.
-
And sorry my bad language. I just don't like it.
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
-
Siege Tank was awesome, that Drum was not. It's just a chassis with few extenders.
-

Eh, that's personal opinion. I liked Drum, I think it was comedic and very witty. Who entered it?
-

Of course it is. :3
-
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'm shocked, frankly, that so many people voted for it.
Be joyous it didn't win then :P
I found it humourous but didn't vote for it due to the inevitable Giraffe-style backlash.
Glad #5 came third, don't like #1 all too much but that's fair, the community decides :D
-
Giraffe-style backlash.
I get the feeling I unintentionally started something.

But it was awesome so it doesn't matter? :P

I'm back .... what did you tear up while I was gone?
Congratulations to Jack Daniels with Vixen
#1- Jack Daniels
#2- SKBT
#3- Kurt Wylde
#4- NFX
#5- Squirrel_Monkey
#6- Clickbeetle
-
I'm surprised #6 only got one vote. Personally.
And I thought #3 was funny.
Hopefully next time there might be a bot which makes me want to vote though :P
-
CB built 6? Lol
-
3rd again...
I'm never gonna win...
-
Click built 6 ?!?!? It looks so n00by though
-
I knew NFX was 4.
-
And 5 isn't R0B0 ?
=> nice clone there SM

#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.
-
Damn loopholes :gawe:
-
WHY YES, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO VOTED #6.... ForeverAlone.jpg
-
And 5 isn't R0B0 ?
=> nice clone there SM
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.
-
Congrats JD.. I voted for you :gawe:
-
The results are scary cos its my birthday with my bot.
-
Can we have Vixen up for download like we did with Chupacabra?

Sure thing, will take care of that tomorrow.
Edit: Owait... I gotta bundle it somehow with the skinned components... I will figure that out later. Sorry for the delay.
-

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.
