Now at 250 posts, this topic beats out May 2011 for most discussed BOTM. :o

Who thinks we should actually do something like this?
I had it on another forum once (run by Draco, in fact), though everyone had to keep track of their own score, which was based entirely on the integrity of the users. It was placed in its own sub-forum with its own moderators to keep the leaderboard updated and make/accept achievement ideas. Catch-All (1000 points): Have the same bot win a Major League tournament, BOTM, and be inducted into the RA2 Hall of Fame.

This is far from being combat effective but whatever I'll fix it   What? It's a clone of Quark? Well...it has a razor weapon-breaker thing that makes it different from every single bot ever, at no cost of armour. :D

Got the four others right though, Fracture's was a very easy guess due to the use of Pytosis in the splash.
? How did you make that conclusion? At first I thought you were going to guess R1885 for that one... Wait, the giraffe won? ASDFGEICE NOOOOOOOOOO He shall be buried with all of his creations.

Hahahaha 69 total votes.
I got more than double of my votes last time...with this logic, my next BOTM entry will have at least 22 votes! :D

Hahahaha I'm excited for tomorrow morning. Will Mr. Wylde get to keep his title?  Poor Geice. This topic seriously needs to be archived though. In the awesome topic archive.

Chassis rebuilding is generally a very good habit to get into, so it's best to start early now so you don't become one of those "But I don't WANT to rebuild the chassis!" people in the future. Here, you can rotate the battery 90 degrees so it's vertically in line with the Z-teks rather than horizontal, getting you a narrower back. The front may also have to be widened to either make room for a second Snapper2 on the other side, or to place the snapper you have now in the middle if you don't know snapper loading. Finally, the height should be exactly 5 clicks above the bottom, that is to say going to the very lowest height and dragging the slider up so it moves up a tiny bit 5 times. You'll know you've got it right if you can fit a Z-tek but not a vertical Snapper2. If that results in the DDTs not fitting, then I think having a shallower chassis wedge/longer chassis would save more weight than just making the entire thing taller. Good luck!

If neither using all pinks or all blacks has an effect on power supplied at the start of a match, a mix of the two really shouldn't make a difference; which I tested and confirmed in the BOTM thread. (don't kill me ACAMS)

Although I would normally recommend having 2 blacks here, I want to suggest having 1 black, normal Z-teks, and then either more weapons, chassis armor, or an extra wedge to add with the leftover weight, just for the sake of staying as far away as possible from the typical Pyscolone popup. (which you might want to try later on for chassis management - it's a popup with HP Z-tek drive, 2 blacks, rubber wheels, a DDT wedge, two DDT weapon motors, 8 razors, and...a control board :P)

No. It has to be a pure pink-battery powered robot, in order for this "thing" to work.
Soooo then how did BOTM #5 get those super-special-awesome flips with mixed batts...? Edit: Geice why do you always have to own me at everything

I'm still discussing it in the BOTM thread. xD (aka spamming it up)

Though the Pinks are reaching higher still in your example..
Only by a little bit, and definitely not enough to convince me that more batteries really do help with supplying power. Flip heights vary wildly anyways depending on when the enemy bot is flipped. On that note, I did get a flip on Poptart that tossed it up to the ceiling with the 8 pinks bot, but didn't get a screenshot due to bad reaction time and camera angle, but I just felt that was luck. Ok, so I tore off Crazy Gadget's side-ram plates, and 3 irons, and replaced the section of it's chassis that holds Blacks, with stacked Pinks.
Le result:

......
Gadget actually hits a  of a lot harder now.
THERES SOMETHING WRONG HERE.
Meh I'm still not inclined to believe the theory due to popup hits, like flippers, varying so much due to when the weapons are fired, or to put it another way, luck. Is there some sort of program that displays the speed that burst motors go at or something?

I tried equal weight with super-volts only (3 Supervolts total)
And it couldnt equal the SFTW flip in #5's splash.. It had loads of force but this seems to be something new loading up pinks to gain large hangtime..
(Image removed from quote.)
It's a fascinating theory indeed...even I tested it out myself, as I didn't really want evidence from Mechadino seeing as how he used a black and one pink on one bot and a black and nine pinks on the other, which is not what I meant at all...   From about 5 minutes worth of testing with both bots...I don't think the difference in height between the two is enough to make a conclusion about number of batteries vs power output rate different from what it is already.

I guess someone should test the theory posted on #5
I did, it worked.

Did you try to replace the 9 pinks with just a black and a pink and see if flipping power was changed? I really don't think there should be a difference between using a black instead of wasting weight on 8 pinks.

It looks like there's two additional wedges under the blades, before they meet the wedges that you can see.

Voted bot 5, not really because the splash but because it is a good rupting flipper, but the splash is cool too.
You don't have the knowledge to vote for this BOTM. :P I'm kidding, but you should still check again. Which I did too, and I just noticed that it looks like it has 4 wedges; is that just an error with the image?

i changed my vote because I was just kidding when I said that the other day
FOTEPX probably just randomly agreed with you without even reading what you said. :P
