Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on July 27, 2009, 09:45:33 PM: #1 - Too many ant batteries... I have always been told that ant batteries in a HW is a no-no.

#2 - Not even DSL, and extremely underweight.

#3 - Nice bot, but splash needs work.

#4 - Nice bot and very nice splash, but possibly overpowered (was it ever decided whether overpowering a popup is good or not?).

#5 - Can't see bot doing well in battle, and too many misspellings in the splash for my taste.

So, my vote goes to... #4

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 28, 2009, 01:41:02 AM: #4 for me. I'm guessing Redline made it.

Post by: ianh05 on July 28, 2009, 01:41:53 AM: 5 without a doubt, looks like most effort went into that one.

Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: philetbabe on July 28, 2009, 02:36:21 AM: #1 got a poor paint job but looks as a decent bot
#2 picture is quiet small and do not highlight the bot ... but in a way, maybe that's better ? i'm joking. Sure it is a newbie bot (weight left and empty space) but is is pleasant to see new comers trying to challenge the old wolves. Who ever your are, welcome... and take time to have a look at other's showcase, there's much to learn.
#3 better version of #1
#4 i don't understand the last picture (most right), the bot seems well built, with a better look of the inside of the bot, i may have vote for this one
#5 Servo Power ! I VOTE FOR THIS ONE !!! i'd like to see it in action
Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: RedSawn on July 28, 2009, 02:45:07 AM: 1. is competitive but not so good.
2. ... Stock parts, and stock AI? Why didn't I just enter the (replica of a) first edition Big Flip?
Isn't even that good anyway...
3. Looks tough.
4. HurricaneAndrew. That's his splash style and stuff. Looks decent. Bonus for showing it can get under Sentinel.
5. SOW Popup? Awesome idea...

It'll be 5. Was speechless while trying to think of something to say.
Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: JoeBlo on July 28, 2009, 03:04:27 AM: 1 - fairly descent bot but artwork is something I admire on both bots and splashes and this appears a quick job.

2 - stock ?? and and a quick splash with not a whole lot of effort but like it has been said good to see new builders jumping in.

3 - nice, clean and well built looks really nice.. if i was nit picking I could say not a very wide palette but it looks to nice to criticize.

4 - nice clean splash good liking bot .. but I dont know.. BOTM is usually more complex bots this just looks a little simple.. but the 180 degrees of defense is a pretty cool idea.

5 - well I <3 servos at the moment so what this bot lacks in combat effectiveness make up in coolness.

real tough call but given my love of servos I think I will vote for #5

I like the idea of a "turret".
Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: S.T.C. on July 31, 2009, 05:53:13 PM: 4 or 5..hmm

I'll go for #5
Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 01, 2009, 10:33:51 PM: I made a turret hammer bot for last month's BOTM, and nobody voted for it... :(

Well my vote is for #5. Sure, the turret and the omnidirectional drive are redundant and it would probably be better with one or the other, but it's original, and that's hard to do on a popup.

Post by: ACAMS on August 01, 2009, 11:30:53 PM: It was a close race untill the last page......

Congratulations to JoeBlo for #5

HurricaneAndrew made #4
Reier made #3
Bot Smasher made #2
Jonzu95 made #1

Post by: JoeBlo on August 01, 2009, 11:36:55 PM: it was really close until the last surge, thanks to everyone that voted for me :-D also I can finally address something.

#5 - Can't see bot doing well in battle, and too many misspellings in the splash for my taste.

I understand the small mistake with spike stripes that's just a bad habit of mine when I touch type to fast lol as that was still a word the spell checker didn't pick it up...but everything else seems to be fine ??? can you please point out the other mistakes ?
Title: Vote for BOTM Aug 2009
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on August 02, 2009, 12:24:29 AM: Well, I'm too lazy to look again right now, but I know "turret" was spelled "turrent" on the splash.

I meant nothing by it, though. If I had realized it was yours (honestly, I thought #3 was you), I never even would have said anything. I have more respect for you than that, JB.

Congratulations, though.

And thank you to everyone who voted for Pop Top. I actually ended up with the third most votes by one vote. I'm just glad I got some votes this time.

Post by: JoeBlo on August 02, 2009, 12:28:12 AM: HA: its just I thought you may have picked up "Armour" and "Defence" as they are the ways Australians spell those words and I think are different to American spelling

Post by: Madiaba on August 02, 2009, 12:31:37 AM: I thought #5 was Phil's entry...

#4 for me. I'm guessing Redline made it.

Well, we know it wasn't me now, but I still haven't built a competent DSL popup. Someone's gonna have to show how or something.

Up until the last surge of votes, but then we got blown away. He beat you by 7 votes and me by eight.

And Redline, you had already pointed that out during the voting. lol
