3 reasons for me.
1. I have been very busy
2. There's no real satisfaction after you win it. I would like a prize for doing it.
3. I do not play RA2 anymore.

The reason why I don't enter is the weightclass. I only build AW-MW

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2012, 11:58:47 PM »

I only bother building if I already have a good idea.

lack of ideas that work.

BECAUSE I NEVER WIN

Doomkiller · « **Reply #26 on:** February 08, 2012, 01:17:53 AM »

Mostly, because my splash skills are lacking *I did try that once though*

Mind you, I haven't been building anyway...

Maybe we should try a PictureOTM one month - like people can enter battleshots and stuff. That'd be pretty cool, and a chance for original bots to show their flare.

becuase my building skills aren't very good.

with criterias like "DSL, HW, OOTA" and stuff?

Conraaa · « **Reply #30 on:** February 08, 2012, 02:17:28 AM »

The build criteria put me off more than anything. Stock UHW? No thanks.

Someone do all of my homework and problem sets and I'll gladly participate in all upcoming BOTMs.

I don't because I'm only "good" when it comes to HW and above, and only work in Stock

You're quite fine when building Middleweights too..

Because I been really messed up lately and I can't turn on RA2, or any video games, without collapsing into major depression.

You counting that pokerbot? 'cause that was a fail

I've not take part in the last few BOTM's, just because I've had no ideas at all. I knew I couldn't win the Christmas one, though, but the two after that, I just had no ideas that were both good designs, and interesting. There's also the problem that people seem to know which splash is mine, despite the fact that I try to mix it up a little. And then there's the fact that effective bots don't seem too appealing in BOTM anymore, at least from what I've seen. Satellite and Iron Hornet are the two examples I'd put forward. Sattelite lost narrowly to JD's El Chupacabra replica, which admittedly was a very good replica, but Iron Hornet got completely creamed by a robot that didn't even meet the criteria. For me, it's a combination of being a bit too busy and a lack of inspiration, I suppose.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 08, 2012, 09:30:20 AM »

Voted 1, 2, 3 and 5.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2012, 11:23:18 AM »

2 and 5. Every time I get scared out of my pants that it will be so terrible it will end in ridicule. Oh and my Paint.net skills go as far as cropping, pasting, and inserting text.

The Ounce · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2012, 06:26:19 PM »

For me, it's reason #5 for the most part. If I decided to put in enough effort I could make a decent splash, but even then neither it nor the bot would be something as front page-worthy as something Click, JB, or Sage would make.
