Cubebuster looks like sh'it.
Anime Belongs in the Trash is trash.
Kaiser Ellin is the same damn robot everyone has made 500 times over.
Reverse Ideology honestly doesn't seem like it works; 4 pinks with 4 HPz? The fuk?
Vexis is a fukin' mess.
Warfare looks incredibly bland/unorigial, but all the plebs will vote for it because everything else is awful.

I'm voting for 'Trash Anime', because at least it tries to be original with it's piston-spinner gimmick.

Okay, now that I'm not in a class without a keyboard, let's judge what we got:

#1: Hmm, looks a lot like Wen.  Jumbled mess of a splash, and not something I'd like to see every time I log in.  Next.
#2: Technically, it shouldn't even be allowed as it doesn't specify the actual weight class, but doesn't look like it will appease to everyone, so it might not get away with it.  Seems like an 090901 bot.
#3: Reminds me of the old-school days with the splash format.  Not bad overall.  It does look effective as a bot, and it could do well with the votes.
#4: Yeesh.  This one kinda hurts my head every time I look at it, and it doesn't look that cool.
#5: Very minimalistic and boring.  boto may have gotten his hand on a BOTM entrant.  Moving on now.
#6: Impressive.  Love how it looks.  Not really the most unique thing ever, but still attractive.  My mind is thinking Joey or Badger built this.

So #3 or #6.  Hmm.

1: Almost considered it until I saw that the DDTs are on the wedge extenders. Enjoyed the splash
2: Looks pretty combat-effective but do those wheels even work with the Z-teks like that? Weight comment was pretty funny
3: Looks great, my only complaint is that it looks like a rammer (or badly constructed poker) at first due to the top-right picture. It should have swapped positions with the more accurate bottom-right picture.
4: Like the idea but not so much the setup. Another bot with badly rotated Z-teks.
5: Good effort?
6: Grey paintjob + true popup + dual caster wedges reminds me of Geice's early bots. My favourite splash save for the hard-to-read stats text. But, again with the Z-tek rotation on that third wheel...did something change in Stock? Last I remember Shinies don't work when the motor notch is upward like that

Nice to see some good entries this month

There all rather boring in my opinion but I voted #2 as my mate won't shut the hell up about Evangelion and "the third impact" lol.
3rd and 4th in The ZONE with Penance and Blue Wolf
3rd in the Robogames Beetleweight bracket with Icklemandra

My own thoughts, no guesses as to the builder obviously.

#1 Super kawaii, but a bit hard to look at.
#2 Honestly should have disqualified this one for not stating the exact weight, so that's my bad. It's a tad late now though, and it does indeed appear to be a MW, so I'm letting it slide. Wtf is that skin though?
#3 Is a pretty good bot, but it has room to be improved upon given that I was allowing Component Freedom for this BOTM. Still one of the obvious contenders this time.
#4 Seems like it was trying to be an efficient bot, but then the builder used samurai swords. Kinda like the splash though.
#5 Congrats for entering an IRL style bot in a stock BOTM I guess
#6 The only bot that looks like it might actually have taken advantage of component freedom (though it could just be really good stacking with regular glitches). I almost thought this one was missing the weight in the splash too, but then I looked harder.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

#1 nope, the splash is messy like my Joymander, Next.
#2 Next.
#3 Cool Splash and cool bot, I think is RedAce
#4  :confused:
#5 Not unrealistic and not good.
#6 cool Splash, I think J made it.

So my vote are #6

1: Are we implying anime females are robots?
2: Good point, bad robot. (JK)
3: Probably the best of these
4: Not too bad.  But the splash is kinda confusing.
5: Probably took 3 minutes to make...  It does make a good point though.  Vettra, Veklo, Vengoth, goes on spouting random words with ve
6: Looks very nice.

3 or 6 like everyone else.
I have several opinions.

1.) Wen, minus that one motor clip it doesn't even use RA2 CF which is a bit disappointing.
2.) Probably still a MW but doesn't look too interesting/like something that would work too well and I wouldn't want to see that all the time on the front page. Again, no CF used. Oh and I didn't even mention the message, nope.
3.) bigger(especially longer) version of child's play with a piston, also somewhat retro showcase picture.
4.) It's... alright? I can see some creativity with the splash but once again not much going on with CF, also doubt it would do good in combat.
5.) Inside drive, battery and extender spam.
6.) Welp, take the free win. Skid steering is nice if you can get it working, wonder how well it does on that bot.

Mnb you lied when you said when we had great entries here :( should've done a bot as well.

Win was a nice surprise but more importantly thanks to everyone who participated and supported BOTM and MNB for putting it on, entry count looked a lot stronger this month, lets keep it that way :)

Warfare looks incredibly bland/unorigial, but all the plebs will vote for it because everything else is awful.

Not really the most unique thing ever, but still attractive.  My mind is thinking Joey or Badger built this.

Am I missing something or Did strafing become trendy in my absence? few years ago I was pretty much the only guy crazy enough to use it :P

Then again, I think this is the third BOTM I have won with a strafing robot.. so maybe im making myself bland? lol

did something change in Stock? Last I remember Shinies don't work when the motor notch is upward like that

Works reasonably enough on this setup for its purpose, not as quick as the other 2 motors but gets the job done.. grannys were too ugly

The only bot that looks like it might actually have taken advantage of component freedom (though it could just be really good stacking with regular glitches).


Nope just barebones stock on board, snapper loading and eFFe and some decent luck on the stacking. :)

You're a victim of your own success, I guess.  :rolleyes:
Tbh, I thought your bot was about as original as you can get with a combat effective stock MW.

I guess nobody used RA2 CF though. That's cool, I'm allowing it for October as well.

im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.
