Title: Top 10 Best IRL Bots of 2012
Post by: MassimoV on January 25, 2013, 08:01:45 PM
    I’ve been looking around the forum and decided, some great IRL bots have been made this year.   And I was wondering which the best is.  I’ve looked around and found my favorites.  Now this list is completely opinion based and I might have forgotten one of another so if you think differently, you can try making your own list.  I really liked some of the bots built.  One of my rules is not to include a builder twice to allow more variety.  So now off to the fun part, I give you: THE BEST IRL BOTS OF 2012!

10. Sudden Impact-Scrapyard24c

9. Spitfire-090901

8. Remove Before Flight-D-Lark

7. Tony Terror-Plazmic Inferno

6. AggroCat 2-Thyrus

5.  Super Cell-Click Beetle

4. Osiris-Classicus

3. Capital Punishment-Virus Bomb

2.  Drakina-NFX

Before I announce my winner, I want to show some other good ones as honorable mentions:

•Electric Boogaloo Clone- SKBT

•Clever Heist-Jack Daniels

•Electric Ray-Badnik96

•Crocodile Rock-Conraaa

•Viper 2-Fotepx

•Crasp Drone 2-Craaig


And finally…

1.Sludge Bomb 2-Scrap Daddy

I hope you enjoyed the review.  Feel free to share your opinions and make your own if you want. Thanks for reading!

Why would I add sponsor decals to a robot that is skinned from a World War 2 fighter plane? (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32124v.gif)

Good list. I disagree with some and I think Virus Bomb had the best but whatever.

No Arsonist? Ah well. There's some pretty awesome designs in there, so let's see what else I can come up to match them...

See above.

It's not that great.

Thought that was 2011, oh well.

The shape of it was pretty cool and it had the 09 wheel guards with spikes as a plus.



I'm trademarking these things now.

Actually, I've just checked, and I made it in August 2012.

tbh i think drakina > sludge bomb, but apart from that i think its pretty accurate.

No Arsonist?
arsonist is unrealistic

Well, only really with the flamethrower if you look at it on the inside- on the outside it looks OK, and the DSL3 replica of Alcoholic Stepfather uses the same system. It's only really for increasing the burnination it can deal, and even then, the other two internal ones are easily removable if it's that much of a problem.

Yay for honorable mention!

Yeah Electric Ray is definitely the best thing I've made this past year.

Are you done trying to prove the point that your robot is better than everybody else's robots?

He's not, he's just trying to explain something. No reason to jump on him like that man.

Awesome to see CD2 making an Honorable Mention. Probably my favourite thing I've built in years.

Indeed. That wasn't my intention at all, and I apologise if I came off that way- all I did was explain why I went with that particular system, and how it could easily be changed if need be.
 
 
Thanks for that by the way, Plazmic.

When I first saw the title, I thought it meant real bots that GTM members made last year.

Thanks for the review on Clever Heist.  :D  And, wow 2012 was a weak year for my IRL building.

why are my bots not here i'm amazing baww

I noticed a bit of an error in the Aggrocat description; those are T-Minus wheels, not S3.

Just felt like pointing that out. I meant to point that out a couple of eons ago but then the whole session forum derpy thing happened.
