Title: What do you like in a bot ?
Post by: Naryar on February 19, 2010, 03:34:20 PM: Criteria i see in a bot - Efficiency (in the arena), Originality (never before seen), Creativity (not original but unusual), Building Skill (a well built bot is not necessarily a good fighter, cool or original), Cool Looks (Candy (tm))

Personally, my favorite robots are both efficient designs (in the arena) and creative (unusual design) designs. I know it's not easy to mix both, but still, that's what i am aiming at a builder.

I say samesies. I build a lot stuff but don't find a lot of reasoning in posting it unless its really good or cool.

Post by: The Ounce on February 19, 2010, 04:28:56 PM: Efficiency. I don't care what anyone builds as long as it's efficient.

Post by: JoeBlo on February 19, 2010, 08:27:41 PM: I appreciate when a lot of thought is put into a robot's design.

I cant really categorize but I like to "reward others" for taking time to plan a design over something basically that looks almost like it was "winged"

I thinks thats most important,

I feel like Naryar is trying to profile us for a dating site or something.

Everyone would get matched with Barbie because she's the only female member.

...Or IS she? Dun dun DUN!

Seriously, there's no way to prove anybody's gender... and I wouldn't blame any girls for keeping their identity secret on a forum full of geeky guys.

Anyways, I always aim for Efficiency and Creativity. Sometimes I try for Originality or Cool Looks too. Building Skill I don't really care about in and of itself; it's just a tool by which I build more efficient bots.

Title: Re: What do you like in a bot ?
Post by: takatsukiyayoi on February 22, 2010, 03:13:37 PM: On subject of the original topic.

Personally, when I built my bots, they were always designed around (over)specializing. I forgo every last bit of chassis armor to get enough weight to put on more weapons or faster motors, better wheels, so on... because these days, in the age of wedged bots, it doesn't matter how durable your chassis is: that elusive juggler, poopup, wedged poker, or wammer will just rip ya to shreds anyways, so why suffer the misery trying to hopelessly fight back?

Title: Re: What do you like in a bot ?
Post by: GoldenFox93 on February 22, 2010, 04:01:22 PM: In my robots, I like Speed, Power, Self-righting capabilities (If not invertable), and generally, realism.
