Far too vague. We need to be much more specific.

Stock VS:ACAMS
Stock HS:ACAMS
Stock Popup:ACAMS
DSL VS:ACAMS
DSL HS (Includes SS):ACAMS
DSL Popup:ACAMS
Best @ Stock:ACAMS
Best @ DSL:ACAMS
Best Builder:ACAMS

Yeah, much too vague - those 3 bot types aren't the only ones.
SS, SNS, VS, HS, Popup, FS, Complex Spinner, Rammer, Poker, Juggler, Hammer, Flipper, Hybrid... Just the ones I can think of off the top of my head and should all be represented if you're doing this seriously.

Wait, that makes me the only DSL flipper specialist :P
-
Well, that helps a bunch. Thanks...
*reads*
Hey, how come there's no SS bit?
-
'Probably Craaig' as a DSL VS specialist... Can we take the probably off seem as though they're all I build and they're not that bad? :')
-
Me & Vert are flipper specialists.
(I know, up myself but still, I have a high Ego)
-
Urjak and Vertigo are the flipper specialists.
You, and possibly SM and me are fairly near it.
-
Uh, specialists are supposed to be the BEST at their bot types...

A specialist is an expert who is devoted to a single job or someone who practices a single branch of something.
Surgeons are specialists. Even the new ones.
However, the President's personal bodygaurds are also specialists.
I could happily build sh**ty popups all day and upon one of the two definitions of the word, I'm still a specialist.
I'm making sh**ty bots, but I'm still a specialist.

Fine, but then we must separe the gold from the rabble.
Maybe considering an Overall Building Level or something ??
-
Top Specialists would be a more appropriate term in my opinion.
-
Lol maybe include drums so I can pretend like another specialist with my TRFBD?
-
Does shell spinner include normal HS as well? :P
-
I am an expert at Sheck Spinner building, nothing more. I am not an expert at Flippers or SnS.
-
Erm, I'm not really good at any of those...
-

IS THAT A CHALLENGE!? URJAK, I CHALLENGE YOU. DSL HW. SS.

Killing SS with another SS is no indicator of how good a SS is overall.
-
I am the master of everything and nothing

call the page what you will but the point of the page IMO is people who are the best at those bot types (like the thread name)
If its a bot type you only build but yet to have any success, it makes you a fanboy not a specialist in this context.
Success doesnt just mean tournament wins.
Example: Craaig should be a VS specialist based on the fact his "Orange" style design is used a lot nowaday by others.. He impacted the world of VS robots.
My thoughts anyway.. I didnt put myself on that page until I had won some awards for my robots or in the case of Flamethrowers discover the Octane glitch.
-
Pusher should be included as a type with The Ounce as the expert. I know Naryar made the first phototype but the Ounce really nail the concept of de-weapon pusher with refraction.
-
i dont get this whole specialist thing either, now that im home. once your good enough at this game, you SHOULD be able to build anything well.
also im a SS specialist? ive built like what, 3?
-
I guess because 2 of those 3 have done really well lol

Nar: I like how you're listed as a specialist of like 5 different bot types. Once you move past being good at one type, YOU'RE NOT A SPECIALIST ANYMORE.
I really don't think there are any real specialist builders at the moment. Is there anybody who showcases exclusively one and only one type of bot? Not to my knowledge.
-
I mostly only build Popups and HS in stock. Two problems with this, though. One, none of my designs have been particularly new and innovative. Two, most of the time, my designs turn out to be rubbish in combat. Specifically the wedginess of my popups. They're really just Snapper practice for me.
-
IS THAT A CHALLENGE!? URJAK, I CHALLENGE YOU. DSL HW. SS.
Very well... but like 123STW said, SS Vs SS doesn't necessarily point to the better Sheck Spinner.
-
Craaig does like only VSs but that's all I can think of.

they don't get their jobs by being crappy though >.> when someone is a specialist at something they are good at what they do as they have spent time learning their craft.

Ian is back :D
-
Yeah, I kinda grew out of that VS specialist phase, as I'm now pretty much good at everything except flails. If there's such thing as a hybrid specialist, I might be one, though. :P
-
I think I'm good building Stock and DSL Popups..
-
I think I should be on the SS list, My Dual-layered weaponry made quite a splash, and as far as I'm aware, was the first, or one of the first, to use weaponry like that.
-
Pretty sure people have put weapons on weapons before...
you haven't changed the face of that bot type nor had success with one either..
-
Me & Vert are flipper specialists.
(I know, up myself but still, I have a high Ego)
With respect, your not simply due to that Big Dog rebuild you sent me a couple of weeks ago :P

Hello :) *points at my showcases*
And FOTEPX I didn't even know you built SS lolol. I definately wouldn't call you a 'specialist'.
Thanks for saying I'm a VS specialist btw JB ;D

How can you claim to be a specialist of someone elses robot ?
-
Y'know, that general type.
-
Average or good builders trying to prove they're top material ??
And they call me arrogant...
