Would be cooler if it was a lifter instead of a straight flipper.

Looks like it flips too far forward to me. The double layering of the triangle also seems a bit weird. Other than that, good stuff.

whats common themes. what bout loopholes
Lets say that a theme was politics. Donald Trump would be a common choice. So try to avoid him for originality sake. If you can find a loophole then say.

This tutorial is still a WIP. This was made due to people having different thoughts on the rules so I thought it'd be good if we could come to an agreement on some of them. This is what I have so far.
What is Bot of the Month?
Bot of the Month (BOTM) is a competition in which builders compete against each other each month to build a robot which fits a chosen theme/style. These robots are accompanied by a splash (an image around the robot) which showcases it in a certain way. The winner of the competition has their robot displayed on the front of the site.
How does BOTM work?
First, the designated host creates a topic in the "Contests" section of the forum which displays the month and year of the BOTM. Within the initial post, they'll put the theme, weight class and game that have to be built with.
Entries are then sent to the host by the due date (last day of the month, normally).
The host then puts the entries into a new topic with a poll so that they can be voted on. This poll normally lasts for a few days so that people have time to vote on the entries (people that have entered can vote and they can vote for their own entries).
The host announces the winner and an admin then updates the front page with the winner.
Rules
1. You must adhere to the rules set by the host for that month.
2. Stats of the robot need to be posted in the splash. (Armour, drive etc.) This doesn't include the weight.
3. In the voting process, don't state which your entry is. (You can guess whos others are, however).
General Tips
Make sure that the splash isn't awful. It can make or break an entry. (If you can't make a fancy splash, then just make it simple. Putting an appropriate background with some nice looking text is enough).
Make sure that the splash is large enough so that it can be seen properly.
Try and avoid common themes.

Just pace the amount of robots you showcase in the future <3

It's a showcase chap. You're showcasing your robots. People appreciate looking at robots that you make. I'd like to help you out and give you advice but I'm not in a position to do that. Also: -If you want good, detailed advice, avoid posting too much bots at once. While there is nothing inherently wrong with a bot dump, each bot will never receive as much advice as one bot at a time. Talking from experience.
While the advice by our Lord and Saviour is old, you've posted at least 4 robots within the last few days. Give it at least a day or two for people to see it. People don't normally comment on a robot if another has already been posted. If you'd like advice these days, it's probably best to ask for it in the Discord.

I will just say that we have a lot (I mean A LOT) of spinners so far...hm.
In other news, this gives us 71 entries! Only 25 spots left open....although I may have to do something about all the spinners I have/will receive.
I'll make sure to counter that. How many of each bot type are there so far? Would like to make something a bit different.

Also, none of these show the insides so technically none are legal, if anybody cares anymore. 
Didn't even know it was a rule. Forgot to put my entry in. Knew it'd happen, oh well. Its 3 for me.

For those who use Google, you are getting tracked and your info is getting sold for money. #JoinTheDuckSide
This has been known for years, lad. Just like any website you sign up to.
