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

I'm just disappointed that none of them took full advantage of this BOTM being unrealistic DSL. I don't see stacking on any of them.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

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.

I planned out an SnS with a SOW Hammer on a 360 degree Turret

I probally should have found the motivation to build it..

To be fair Joe, I'm so sick of shell spinners as a bot type in DSL you wouldn't have had my vote no matter how much awesome stuff you did to it. I literally cringe at the sight of them now.

No but it often is the same thing over and over again with Sheck Spinners. So I do understand what Kill means here.

Sheck Spinners are no more guilty of it than most bot types, when built to maximize effectiveness.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

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.

Well done to whoever built #1.

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

So NFX was perceived as me, not bad.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
