That's a lot of entries. O_O
9's splash is cool, 7's design is also cool, but 3's design is awesome.
Figured out who built #s 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 13, 14. Got possible candidates for the rest except for #1 (successful troll is successful).
-
#3, #7 and #11 are the most original.. so naturally have my attention :P
-
KEEP YOUR ENTRY SECRET (Don't ask, don't tell)
And don't even hint, or you will find yourself not being able to post in BOTM voting for A LONG TIME!!!!
-
Agh dangit...
Completely forgot the rules out of exitement...
Dang.
-
whats the bet we have a 15 way tie :P
-
whats the bet we have a 15 way tie :P
About 10000/1.
-
well we are 1/3 of the way there already
-
Wow, many good ones this month (*cough*Joe's is #7).
Hmm... # 3, 7, 9, 11, and 14 are all really good...
I'll go with #3, for excellent use of a chassis.
-
i like number 9. it looks pretty good
-
close between 3 and 7 but I went with 7 because it's more original. I giggled when I seen mini emergency as I'm almost certain that's my AW chassis :gawe: .
-

I think 4 and 6 have the chassis as well. XD
-
lol distribute a chassis and then claim part of the win if one comes through :P
-
KEEP YOUR ENTRY SECRET (Don't ask, don't tell)
or feel the wrath of ACAMS
-
Aye to that.
-
Who dares to use my avatar as a target for enemy bots?! No vote for you! I vote #3 instead.
^Dont answer that, I will find out after voting^
-
My Vote goes to #3. It's so Original... And I will probably lose this... :frown:
-
My thoughts:
1. 090901

4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 are wrong. I'm not quite sure of the others but I do have very probably candidates for those. :P
So yeah, I couldn't have made #10 using only Paint and Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't know how to fiddle with transparency except in Photoshop. XD
-
7 is the most unique so it gets my vote.
-
My Vote goes to #3. It's so Original... And I will probably lose this... :frown:
7 is more original IMO, 3 is basically a BW version of slaying mantis. I haven't seen anything like 7 before.
-
4. Jonzu
:rotflmao:
-
You can also tell who built which from font usage (ahemJonzuahem). :P
-
(ahemJonzuahem). :P
Huh?
-
Naa fool, #4 ain't Jonzu. How do I know this? Because I hacked ACAMS computer. From 12 miles away. With both my hands chewed off by a polar bear. Using only a paperclip.
-
Using only a paperclip.
MACGRUBER!
-
Using only a paperclip.
MACGRUBER!
OFF-TOPIC-ER!
Anyways, #7 (Joey... who else ?) and #3 (obviously click) are the more interesting ones. #9 is really cool but not as original :P
-
Scarab is on the Bot Exchange, so we can see who made it.
3 or 7 will win this, I reckon whichever JB made out of these two (#7 probs) will win overall.
-
Should've added moar candy to my splash. >.<
Oh well. A vote's fine enough for me. XD
-
#3 and #7 really caught my eye. #11 was also very good, #14 was LOL. I really like the look of #2, but my vote goes to #3.
-
6. Badnik
You're wrong there.
And after a lot of consideration, I decided to vote for 7. (honorable mentions go to 1/2 baked and red cross, pretty cool. LOL at lol and ghey)
-
Oh wow, I thought I had a good chance at winning this month. Then I saw the splashes. :/
I can't really make up my mind on who to vote for.
-
11 is cool. Got my vote.
-
For me my vote was between Scarab and Dimension, but I ended up going for Scarab.
-
I am 100% sure that I will get 0 votes.
-
ME too. And i bet Mini Emergency is Ian
-
You entered?
-
I was agreeing that you would get 0 votes.
-
Ah. Because if you had entered, I could guess which one would be yours:
#2
-
What?
-
You can't see the 1-pt font?
-
#2 is most likely Gazea's.
-
It's got the same wheels, and...that's about it. 'Cause I know that Gazea's extenders are blue.
-
And the razors. But don't rule out the people that are making teams for the AI (Vertigo, Preytor, Freez, etc)
-
True. But I don't think #2 is Gazea. Also, I can say that #11 is not my entry.
-
I have to agree. It doesn't look like Gazea's style.
-
This is the toughest choice I've made here.
Six of the 15 look really good to me (and as such, hopefully will all wind up in some form of StarCore 4), but I had to give my vote to #7, Dimension.
Others I liked:
#3, BWAHTAICU
#6, Driver 8
#9, Scarab
#10, Red Cross (bot's okay, splash is the second best here only to Scarab IMO)
#11, HalfTone
Well done you six for making my choice that tough.
-
A few of the entries made me LOL.
*voted*
-
Why are you guys letting JoeBlo win again!?
-
I voted 3 because it could actually fight unlike 7 which can't do anything.
-
I remember those Red cross adverts, they were on the radio all the time.
-
Why are you guys letting JoeBlo win again!?
because it's the most original design.
I voted 3 because it could actually fight unlike 7 which can't do anything.
actually it probably could do something, especially if the design was worked on some more. Maybe we could add in criteria to peoples votes so we would need to rate a number of aspects of each BOTM entry.
-

QFT.
-
There is quite a bit of variety for this month.
#3 - Highly intricate design that looks combat effective. It got my vote.
#7 - Although creative, it looks like it would be lacking in combat effectiveness. It would be too slow to deliver much damage and it wouldn't be able to hold on to anything.
#8 - A cool splash for what looks to be an effective bot.
#9 - Probably does well in battle but it doesn't really look all that impressive.
#10- Best splash IMO but the trinity glitch really isn't combat effective (especially when there are only 2 razors).
#11- Neat bot that probably would have done better if it had a better splash.
#14- Nice remake of a classic. My biggest beef seems to be with the splash. The fact that it is a GIF suggests movement but all we really get is a minor background change (which is cool but it seems like it could have used a little more).
-
A little something that bugs me:
In the 8th entries splash there is a picture of Child's Play being destroyed. In that picture is what appears to be a y-connector with two razors attached. The entrant's bot for sure does not have that weapon arrangement, and I don't think Child's Play does either. There seems to be a third, unseen bot involved. I could be wrong though.
-
You are correct. Someone has obviously destroyed Child's Play with another bot and then pretended their bot could do that.

Most likely - plus i don't see how a beetleweight HS with axes on a redbird could possibly defeat the BBEANS3 champion...
-
Exactly.
-
A FRAUD!
-
A FRAUD!
It makes me doubt the validity of all "battleshots" in #8's splash...
-
I don't see how it could beat any of the bots.
-
Epic cheater is epic :P
-
Well, it's a good thing that nobody's voted for it xD
-
I did think it was too good to be true, and it turns out it was.
-
Notice the two razors connected to a Y extender in the shot vs childs play. Neither bot that is supposed to be fighting has a Y connector :)
-
Uhh Sage...

We've already established that...

YAY 2 VOTES! WHICH IS ONE MORE THAN WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY AIMING FOR!

With that I'd guess you're #12.

Double QFT
-
Well, I lose. Shoulda never competed. :ermm:
-
I think 1 is fake too, you wouldnt be able to fit anything in that chassis except an anchor or a couple of axles.
-

There has been a serious vote for #1. Who did that? =P
-
Not me, I voted 14.
-
Probably who made #1. Which is NOT me.
-
umm what makes it a fake ? nothing in the rules says you couldnt use axles of the wheels and weapon?
its not going to win you anything but its allowed none the less (it would be lol if that person uploaded that botfile to the BOTM exchange :P)
-
I smell troubles... :ermm:
-
Let's just wait until the votes are in, and see who made what. ;)
-
YAY 2 VOTES! WHICH IS ONE MORE THAN WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY AIMING FOR!
Wahoo!! Mine has as many votes as Pwn. :P

Me too! :gawe:
-
I have an idea. This months BOTM Winner will be banned from the next BOTM.
-
EVERYBODY VOTE FOR JONZU QUICK
:P
-
:rotflmao:
-
how about the winner is banned from the forum ?
and I edit the poll to make Jonzu the winner?
no that wouldnt work.. becasue then ACAMS would ban me for power abuse :P
-

Apparently I did. WTF?
-
ehh, 1 vote. I was expecting a little more, but whatever.
-
Methinks Brutal Harmony was built by FOTEPX.
-
I have an idea. This months BOTM Winner will be banned from the next BOTM.
Yeah, but then it'll just alternate, it'll be Joe, Click, Joe, Click, Joe, Click. Interspersed with Sage and 123, with a few guest appearances. I like the multiple criteria idea better, personally.
-
I seriously think #1 is
ACAMSMr TEST, but it's not really his splash style :P
-
#1 obviously doesn't have a battery or maybe even a CB for that matter.
-
I'm doing better than expected.
-
WOOT 1 VOTE
Anyway's I vote #14
-
I seriously think #1 is ACAMSMr TEST, but it's not really his splash style :P
I will probably enter the next one (maybe)
And aside from the replicas I helped build....I only have 8-10 DSL bots, so next month will most likely be DSL.....I need to get back into it anyway.
-
I changed my vote for 14. It's just so awesome.

Quick, everyone vote for #3 or #14 so JoeBlo won't win!
-
Some of the people are stupid and vote for themselves.
-
Is ACAMS not able to see who votes for what, though?
-
Not with this forum software though.
-
darn i missed it cos i was on holiday
anyway i voted for 10 because i dont want to die at the hands of a merciless machine
(lol)
-
Ah, okay. That may help with things.
-
Congrats to JoeBlo with #7 (sorry, I was at work and forgot to lock voting at midnight)
I voted #15.....it would probably beat all most of the rest in battle. (was tight call between it and #11)
-
Mine was #1 :P

This win is a bit of a surprise to me.. with all the hatred and boycott attempts it got this month :gawe:
competition is getting stronger..and greater in numbers it seems. but im willing to give someone else a chance next BOTM... unless I discover something really cool :P
-
I was really hoping to do better.
I suppose there's October but I'm really gonna need to get lucky with my DSL inexperience.
-
I thought, that I could win with my bluebird of happiness...
-
But you'll now be known as the BOTM cheat instead.
Also, no votes? :O
-
Congrats, JoeBlo. Again. =P
I'm surprised that me and Gazea did that well. I'm also surprised that GK thought Sage had built it. =D
-
*Hi-fives NFX* We got some votes! :O
I lol'd when people thought #2 was mine. There are other people with the skins, ya know. ;)
-
Will the portal be updated soon?
-
Less votes than "LOL"? Really?
-
I thought, that I could win with my bluebird of happiness...
no becasue what you are doing is ripping off past entries... its a sure way to get not many votes.. people have tried it in the past trying to get votes becasue people think your someone else...
really people should vote on robots and not on people...
example being this month... people voting against mine due to fighting ability... fair call... people voting against mine due to the fact they dont want who they think is me to win... isnt how you should be voting.
-
True. Hence why it's an anonymous submission. But even then, people might figure out a member's building style.

LOL, I originally put my bot with a warning stripe paintjob (my usual) on the splash, I almost sent it in but realised that I'd better re-skin it
Congrats to JoeBlo with #7 (sorry, I was at work and forgot to lock voting at midnight)
I voted #15.....it would probably beat all most of the rest in battle. (was tight call between it and #11)
Thanks :D
-

Yeah right. Makes you wonder why the only two people with a large fanbase keep winning.

and click's redbird bot actually used chained weapon motors, I can't see any chained motors on that bluebird bot.

click's and joe's bots were the stand outs for me, it has nothing to do with fanbase O.o I believe that they spend more time then others trying to build unique bots when the other builders just build stacked HS's and standard popups most the time.

Let's mix things up then.
BOTM for November should be a "mix it up" month.
Everyone that wants to enter builds a bot... but has to send it to a friend to make the splash. :D
Nobody would have a clue! It would be awesommmmmmmme!
-
What if you don't have any friends... :'(

Congratz!
-
its a great idea. but what would make it better is if each member didn't know who's bot they were making a splash for
-
Good idea in theory, in practice it's not going to look that good
-
how about we use a template splash for entries and then whoever wins can send in the original splash?
-
Good idea in theory, in practice nobody I like will win
FTFY
-
7, 10, and 11 are all awesome
im going to have to give it to the full body clamp though, because that's one heck of a design
-

Naaah. What i mean, what happens with a great bot with a lame splash or a fail bot with a great splash ?

Well then... wouldn't that just clarify where everyone's head is for voting?
It would be a neat test. Because if a failbot with a nice splash wins... we can theorize that most of the forums is retarded.
However, if a great bot with a lame splash wins... then the greater majority of the forum is sharper than we think.
I see where you are coming from, but it would be a cool experiment. Plus, people would get to choose their partnerships. Its not like Clickbeetle is going to ask MouldyKingBash to do his splash or something.
-
How about a no splash BOTM?
-
No, a default splash template that everyone must use is a better idea than no splash at all, but I think the system we have going now is alright.
-
Whoa, this is probably the most entries ever for a BOTM, isn't it? Too bad I missed it. I would have voted for either Scarab (for looking cool) or Halftone (for being a BW side hammer) though, so it wouldn't have made a difference.
