#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

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.

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

(Servo Oriented Weapons...., nice idea. Pop-up is cool. Wish there were a vid clip too.)
Input is appreciated. :)

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.
