Calling All Bot Builders!

Do you like robots? How about a challenge to build a bot with specific material requirements? Then read on as this is the contest for you! Welcome to the DU BOT BUILD OFF CONTEST!

We want you to feel the spark of inspiration, knock the rust off your imagination, and polish up your building skills. Show us your most amazing robot creations!

OH? I thought they meant you needed exactly 100 Nano-craftable Elements ..is it "up to "?

[CrazyHenky]

A little reminder for anyone attempting the BOT Build off. At CCU we have a little display of all honeycombs u can craft in the nano pack.
Feel free to give it a visit in VR :  CCU Voxel Library

Up to 100 elements total, including those 6 light sources.  I will update the post to reflect that.

No, that would be a bit cruel saying you have to use exactly 100 nano-craftable items. You can use up to 100 items.

Ok I get the Nano craft able elements but that would exclude engines and many of the small/xsmall/ and mediums can't be nanocrafted

If you can't craft it in your nanocrafter, then you cannot use that element - that is part of the challenge of this contest.  Make sure to keep the checkbox in the crafting screen "Show nanocraftable only" is checked.   Still a lot of elements to choose from!

[Starfury]

.....smh very well

Many XS and S sized elements including some engines are craftable in the Nano.  Even some Medium sized elements, i think.

[Starfury]

do I take it then or anytime between now and the 2nd?

Hey folks! The bot entries we've gotten so far are all available to see near the Exchange:  ::pos{0,2,24.7050,99.0905,147.7182} Go check'em out!

 

 

If you submitted your bot to the build off but do not see it on the platform that means that it did not meet the requirements (Most of the errors have been using parts that are not nano-craftable) listed in the rules. You can go ahead and modify your bot so it meets the requirements and just resubmit it via the form and we'll review it again and place it when it qualifies.

Some amazing entries! Only about two hours left to get yours in Lasersmith.

[Lasersmith]

Actually I built something, but it took me until the last hour. I hope I got the DRM right (I had to build a used core).
