Maybe I should have entered :P

Number 1 looks the best imo.. and at least it did something different compared to the rest of the entries..

Number 3's builder is obvious and eye burning :P but gets an honorable mention

Xcentric gets my vote. The "It climbs up stairs!" thing made me lol too.

But I like the little hidden "bans" in the Kill bot.

Dunno if I deserve to vote in a DSL BOTM, but it's a hard decision between 3 and 5. 6 would have been good with a better name and splash...

This is what irks me about BOTM. It's Bot of the Month, not Splash of the Month.

I would've made an exception if there's a plain splash with a totally smexy bot, but nearly all of the bots there have the same built quality. I'd rather pick the one splash that'll look good on our home page.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Sept 2011
Post by: Fracture on August 27, 2011, 09:02:58 AM
I don't, and I don't think anyone else votes purely based on splash. But it still plays a role.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Sept 2011
Post by: Naryar on August 27, 2011, 09:08:53 AM
I vote #3. The splash is crap, but the bot is pretty original.

Also i don't get that banhammer

#1 won me over when I noticed that the pole spikes emerge from perfect little holes in the front of the bot.  <3 <3 <3  (yeah, I dig little details)

It was #1 for me til I saw the tail. Usualy I like tails (haha) but this one... I don`t know. I go for S_M #3

Post by: NFX on August 27, 2011, 10:38:14 AM
There is always a bit of a debate about splashes. There was an idea about having a standardised splash that everyone has to use, but a lot of members shot it down. Personally, I don't judge a robot on a splash alone, but I'd rather have a well-built bot with a good splash on the front page than a well-built bot with a bad one.
 
My vote went to #1, incidentally, which I am fairly certain is Scrap...though there is something in the back of my mind saying Conraaa for some reason...
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Sept 2011

This is a rather boring selection. I totally should have entered a pony bot.

No I do as well. I voted one but who ever built 6 is a pro at the Trov Chassis glitch.

Nah, to be a pro you must at least make a doughnut chassis.
The chassis in 6 is quite simple.

I believe I voted for #1.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Sept 2011
Post by: Philippa on August 27, 2011, 03:30:58 PM
I quite fancy number 2 to win because I find it intresting looking and a relatively simple splash.

I saw that, and that's why I changed my vote from 3 to 4.

Thus why I though #6 was you, as you're the most handy with the trov glitch.

Have to admit, part of me was expecting someone to enter a fbs/ss hammer hybrid which would garner all the votes. Not sure how it would work though.

Like this? I just kinda threw it together so it doesnt have any great build quality about it.

At a completely basic level, pretty much.
Anyway, I would say #1 is my favourite.

Sheck Spinners are no more guilty of it than most bot types, when built to maximize effectiveness.

I love how we talk about effectiveness in a BOTM thread.

I want to see something kick-ass cool, not another design that's been copied before.

Since the deadline's expired, I'm not too concerned in claiming #3 as my entry. That's what happens when you have a lack of inspiration, and a bot that doesn't really fit a theme. =D
