Author Topic: BBEANS4 Bonus Awards (Read 4527 times)

Now that BBEANS4 is over, it's time to vote on bonus awards!

There are four awards up for grabs: Best Rookie, Coolest Bot, Most Fearsome Opponent, and Bot That Really Should Have Done Better But Didn't Due To Bad Luck. Click here for descriptions of the awards.

The winners of these awards will all get to pick one of the prize components!

You can vote for any bot you want, with three exceptions:

1. You can't vote for yourself.
2. You can't vote for Hazardous Contraption.
3. You can't vote for a ranked bot for Best Rookie.

Voting starts NOW and ends in one week, on October 24.

Vote like this:

My votes:

Best Rookie - Iron Spaghetti. I could say Enfilad3, but Scrap Daddy was less well known when he entered. And that first-round loss and subsequent climb up the loser's bracket was impressive.

Coolest Bot - Rage III. 3 wheels. 'Nuff said.

Most Fearsome Opponent - Diarrhea Of A Madman. That every single one of its wins was by TKO, and most (if not all) of them under a minute is all you need to know.

BTRSHDBBDDTBL - ThunderStruck! - When you enter decently good bots in two BBEANS events, you hope to get at least one win. No such luck for ianh05.

Best Rookie: Iron Spaghetti
I didn't know Scrap was less known than me. He's been around longer.
Anyways, as the only shell spinner entered, it had a very impressive run. Props go to Philetbabe's BrasOuvert too, coming out of obscurity and picked to lose right off the bat, it proved quite a match for most bots.

Coolest Bot: Diarrhea of a Madman
Big, mean, dominating, and probably the best named bot. It should go down beside Mako as one of the best VS's ever.

Most Fearsome Opponent: Diarrhea of a Madman
Nobody wanted to fight it. Nobody. Whenever someone won, it was "Crap I got DoaM next." No celebration, just fear.

BTSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker
Yeah, it did decent, but I've fought bots like it, and I can say for sure it could have beaten every bot in the field. If I remember correctly, all of its losses were OOTA's as well.

I'm picking the same thing as R0B0SH4RK, but I'm putting System failure in the BTSHDBBDDTBL spot because I thought the weapon was unique, and it looked like it would of done better than it did.

I suppose I can vote too...

Best Rookie: Iron Spaghetti :It was Scrap Daddy's FIRST DSL bot.

Coolest Bot: Enfilad3 : I've studied the bot and i can tell it's really well built. And that skin too. It deserves being at least second.

Most Fearsome Opponent: Diarrhea of a Madman: All offense. That's all.

BTSHDBBDDTBL: Smoker: See: Smoker VS No Leaf Clover, although i could have put System Flailure too.

Best Rookie: Iron Spaghetti: It's progression through the loser's bracket was totally worth watching (I could have easily put HazCon or Enfilad3)

Coolest Bot: System Flailure: I still can't get over that hypnotic (not to mention unique) weapon.

Most Fearsome Opponent: Diarrhea of a Madman: The success of Mako in BBEANS 2 gave this bot some serious street cred IMO.

BTSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker: I seriously expected him to win but the arena layout hindered his performance IMO.

Best Rookie:Iron Spaghetti: Scrap Daddy built a good bot and the progression through the loser's bracket was amazing.
Honorable Mentions: Enfilad3

Coolest Bot: Red Tide VI: The skin and the design were both good. A very good looking and very aesthetically pleasing bot
Honorable Mentions: DOAM, System Flailure

Most Fearsome Opponent: Haymaker: Before the tourney, that pic of Haymaker getting 15000+ damage in 1 hit vs. MOE scared us all.
Honorable Mentions: DOAM, Enfilad3

BTSHDBBDDTBL: T-4: This was the perfect arena for it, but it got some bad matchups. When it could show its power, it did.
Honorable Mentions: Haymaker, Smoker

Best Rookie: Enfilad 3: For reaching the second place.

Coolest Bot: System Flailure: The weapon is just too cool and effective.

Most Fearsome Opponent: Red, Red, Green?: I didnt belive my eyes on how fast it eliminated everyone in the rumble.

BTSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker: It was the arena that made him not to get to his full potential.

Madiaba · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:20:16 AM »

Best Rookie: Enfilad 3.

Coolest Bot: System Flailure (Ok, I'm biased toward attempts at new designs.)

Most Fearsome Opponent: Diarrhea of a Madman.

BTSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker. Agreed, arena was not right for this cool bot.

Rookie:
Iron Spaghetti: Possibly one of the most powerful entrances into the world of BBEANS.

Coolest:
Rage 3: A rammer with three wheels? Nice.

Most fearsome:
System Flailure: Having a flail on it's axe means it has a faster weapon, thus more powerful. Scary.

BTSHDBBDDTBL:
Ripterra: It's match-ups, the arena and fate were against it. Rest In Pieces.

Somebody, your standings are wrong.

Click, I voted for Rage III as coolest bo, too.

BTRSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker/infiniteinertia

Congratulations to our winners! You'll receive a PM shortly; please reply with your prize choice.

FYI, my choice is the Nifty Battery/Control. That means I'll be able to use it for future BBEANS (though not the other prizes, even though I have them).

Somebody · « **Reply #18 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:54:36 PM »

Can you post pics of all 6 prizes, or tell me a place to see them?
