And we already have a winner. No need to have the voting. :P

And before anyone says anything, kudos to them for actually entering. This seemed like a tough BOTM to build for.

Agreed. This BOTM didn't fit me at all.

I remember when you used to have to try to win not just have an easy 50-50 shot handed to you :P (kidding, just messing with you guys that entered)

But BOTM is looking seriously sad the last few months.. maybe I should learn how to play this game again..

I like #2 a lot better, but I'm surprised ACAMS accepted it.

and would wamming racks also count as a ramming weapon ?
What is a wamming rack?
like a bunch of irons or razors or whatever pointing up at an angle instead of facing directly at the opponent

like so

No, but the ram plates will pass because they do damage!

That robot sucks eggs. :gawe:
 
But seriously, #2 has the spin, burst and static weapons required. Disqualifying it at this late stage gives #1 a free win. And apologies if I'm sounding rude, but there's no way #1 is deserving of a win, in my view.

Does 1 really have 36 maces? I find that very hard to believe.

Look to be 18 maces per tribar.

Oh #1 maybe shouldn't have been accepted either.

To clarify the rule


RULES:

  • MUST have at least two rammer weapons (2 separately mounted weapons)

You CANNOT have both rammer weapons on one extender, T, or anchor!
I don't know what separately mounted means, but if you want to get really specific the two ramming razors on #1 are on the same baseplate anchor.

Which brings up the question, what if there was a BOTM and no one entered? :P

Not only does it have ramming weapons facing forward .......

They are mounted on separate anchors like I expected.

What has HS got to do with it?

Voted #2.

Good job keeping something so complex at least somewhat aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn't think it'd look as easy, ever, as whoever made it made it look.

at #1:
Who uses a single spike strip hammer and 36 maces on 2 HPZ? either SoTG or a new builer.

#2
Nice, very nice, looking from the splash i think it's NFX :gawe:.(and it just gave me an idea for a bawht!)
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Oct 2012
Post by: Jonzu95 on September 28, 2012, 01:08:47 AM
That's not even SotG's building/splash style. That was made by Sylandro or someone else...

DAMN YOU, IAN, WHY DIDN'T YOU FINISH THAT FRANKEN-BOT!?
Firstly it's a shame to only see 2 entries, I really wanted to enter this one with a HW robot made up of 3 LW's. I was going to make it seem as though 3 bots had been fused together those bots were going to be preying mantis (the only dual hammer LW I could think of), Child's play IV (for the dual spinner part) however... I couldn't think of or find any popular dual mounted LW rammers :(

Awww... I really wanted to see the outcome.
Even if it did end up missing the date.
Seriously, that idea sounded so awesome.

As soon as I saw Pwnator's entry when voting started, I knew I lost, and fairly too. I still have much to learn.

I have to admit, I'm surprised I even got 9 votes out of the 42 cast.

Congratulations, Pwnator.  :claping

It seems that every time I get back-to-back BOTMs, life goes a bit mental the next month. Which rather infuriates me, but oh well. Nine isn't too bad. Looking forward to this month's.

Now, because we know that no #1 is your bot, so JUDGMENT TIME:
1.The max amount of weapons you can put to a HPz while not making it sad is 9.
2.For the hammers, use razors.
3.Get Snapper 2 wedges
4.Make the snowplow's form either a U-shape or V-shape(The snapper II helps to making this much easier) so that the opponent's are trapped between the HSes and is stalled long enough for the hammer to kill the opponent.
5.Get more weapons on the ramming rack part.

Post by: J on October 02, 2012, 10:53:11 PM
In-Short, everyone was lazy.
I had actually thought up an entry in my head, then I remembered~
I couldn't have all the weapons by off a single HPZ, and making a walking havok explosion would be idiotic.
