Author Topic: What do you like in a bot ? (Read 3950 times)

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.

mr general discussion today eh? :P

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.

Efficiency. I don't care what anyone builds as long as it's efficient.

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,

Cool looking, efficient bots that others may not have thought of.

I feel like Naryar is trying to profile us for a dating site or something. Seriously, what's next? What style do you look for in a builder? Defence, balance, or offence?

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.

Recently I've been trying to get more originality into my bots, but I scrap it unless its efficient.
