The Vapourbot Awards 2008

Too many categories for awards I think

Some of those weapon categories could be merged together IMO

**majinb** · 20 November 2008, 20:30

The Vapourbot Awards 2008

My opinion on this is that weve had a great year with great newcomers (Ive counted about 10, including promising newcomers like Joey, Lewis and Liam and ofcourse the likes of Mark Elam) and great new designs and that especially THIS year this list could represent that. The old order changeth so to speak and this years list might just be very different than last years, especially in normally neglected areas as best front-hinged flipper and best clusterbot for example.

The Vapourbot Awards 2008

Well - its come around again. Time to vote in this section.

Most Original Design
I believe in this section, that Matt Fowlers BIACS-LE who won last year, deserves the win this year as well.

Best Design
The best design award is tricky, because a lot of decent designs have been created here. But Im going to give it to Jamie McHarg, a roboteer turned vapourboteer, with his robot Firefly.

Most Overrated Vapourbot
This may sound like a little bit of jealously here, but I prefer to call his section in my case as the ANNYOING Vapourbot

It goes to Daniel Stickler, and his Supreme series.

Most Underrated Vapourbot
Now, overtime, I felt that Liam Eliot created a LOT of great robots, a lot of which didnt do as well as they should. One robot that did well, but not as well as I thought it should, is Apocalypse.

Most Original Designer
The only...Alex Holt!

Best Designer
This year, we saw new genius ideas emerge from the brain of one man in creating Intriguer, Seung Mina, Wedginator, Tira and may more, so I say the award goes to him - Kody Kunz.

Most Overrated Vapourboteer
This is one Im not intending on answering.

Most Underrated Vapourboteer
Well. The most underrated vapourbotter is tough, because its between the great Chezza, whos only won 1 minor competition and Matty Fowler, whos won a hypothetical major, but thats it, and he should win more...Ill give it to Chezza.

Most Improved Vapourboteer
Im going to go with the one vapourboteer who I remember from last year, who lost his first fight, and has now made the semi-finals of E.O.T.R, RS!! , runner-up in an Annihilator and that other thing I cant remember the name of

Yes - its Danny Bailey.

Idiot of the Year
Is this a contest? MALE KRAM - a Idiot so idiotic, his own idiocy killed him (he got banned for being stupid with words

)

Best Sportsman
I would give this to Steven McGregor, purely because hes been gracious with wins, gracious with losses, hes never been harsh, and thats something to be admired.

Best Render
I say its Kodys render of Killotine: EVO thst deserves this prize, for making one of the best vapourbots around look good in a render.

Funniest Moment
Too many to remember.

Biggest Surprise of the Year
I think the biggest suprise of the year is one I can remember, which was when Knyfe took on, and beat Achilles in the Semi-Final of RS!!Mini-Tornument. It was a shock to me, so Im voting for Knyfe vs. Achilles: RS!! Mini-Tornument Semi-Final.

Best Custom House Robot
Cant remember all that many, so I wont say.

Best Custom Arena
Can only remember Kodys arena, so Ill vote for him.

Best Comedy Bot
Cant remember many comedy bots.

Best Clusterbot
This is the one, the only clusterbot this year to make it to the final 4 of a major - Frank Goachers Door Stops!

Best Interchangeable Robot
Not sure if I invented the only interchangable robot of the year

So I wont comment.

Best Rammer
I vote for the top rammer this year, with a massive Titanium scoop and 104hp in his LEM200s at 60V - Chezzas robot: Do Or Die!

Best Walker
Simple here - Hex Appeal - a Joey/Dan colaboration.

Best Shuffler
Cant remember anything else except Whirligig - so I vote for Steven McGregors Whirligig 4.5!

Best Tracked
Hes made a final, hes not done as well as he should, hes a great design - its Alex Holts Darkestar!!

Best Front Hinged Flipper
Dont know

Best Rear Hinged Flipper
Who wins every single fight hes in (not litterally, but you get my idea

) Its Steven McGregors Wedge Devolution

Best Axe
My favourite axe-robot this year, has to be the best thought-out, well-planned, and lethal axe-robot from Canada - Kody Kunzs Intriguer!

Best Horizontal Spinner
Dont know

Best Vertical Spinner
Dont know

Best Saw
Obviously, its SDU from Mr. McGregor!

Best Full Body Spinner / Ring Spinner / Translational Spinner
Ill vote for the awesome, deadly design from AJ - PsycloniZer!

Best Horizontal Crusher
Its gory, its got the glory - Kodys Super Gore Revo!

Best Vertical Crusher
Dont know.

Best Miscellaneous Weapon
Dont know.

Most Effective Weapon
I know this one

Frank Goacher here has created a flipper that can OOTA, and damage as well - so I vote for The May Tracks Has You!

Best RPG
Dont know.

Best Battle
WAY TOO MANY TO PICK FROM! Id pick them all if it was allowed

Best New Writer
I vote for a vapourboteer, who coame up a lot of stuff this year, but has sadly left to continue with school work, which is understandable. I vote for the creator of RS!! and hopes he comes back soon - Liam Eliot!

Best New Tournament
See above - I vote for RS!! because its great!

Best Writer
Too many to choose from.

Best Alternative Event (side events, extremes etcâ‚¬Â¦)
Honestly, dont know.

Best Minor Tournament (47 bots and under)
It has to be Dave Sheppards Fight Against The House Robots Revisited, it was great (even more so because I won it :wink

Best Major Tournament (48 bots and over)
Too many to pick.

Best Team
Kodys band of bruisers are the best this year in my opinion, and I vote for his team - Team Zlayerz.

Best New Vapourbot
Thiwon

Best New Vapourboteer
He was the earilest vapourboteer, and he started well and got better and better - Joey McConnell.

Best Vapourboteer of 2008
The overall best vapourboteer has to go, in my opinion to Steven McGregor.

Best Vapourbot of 2008
Well - this robot is ultra-brilliant, and ultra-annoying with his wheel spiking/ripping system, so I vote for The May Tracks Has You from the evil mind of Frank Goacher!

Vapourboteer Hall of Fame
I think that this guy has put forward masses of input into the world of vapourboteering - this is someone with great designs, great writing, great sportsmanship - I say it should be KODY KUNZ!

Vapourbot Hall of Fame
I think this basically comes down to 3 robots that are truely awesome, and deserve recognition, so I vote for:
Steven McGregors WEDGE DEVOLUTION
Alex Holts ACHILLES
Frank Goachers TEMPEST EVIL-EST-LUTION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Hope this votes saticify everyone

to me that reads like:

Most Effective Weapon
This may sound a little bit odd here, but I prefer to call his section in my case as the BRIGHTES nebula. It goes to The Greater Andromeda Nebula for its bright green colors.

You bluntly changed one catogery into another, and as a result, Supreme is now leading the race for being the most OVERRATED robot in the scene due to your vote while I see in your words you dont find it overrated at all

.

**joey_picus** · 20 November 2008, 21:13

The Vapourbot Awards 2008

Paul - thats a lot of stuff you dont know there, almost half the votes...particularly in the weapons categories, I personally find it very hard to believe that you dont know enough to make some sort of decision on them. Anyway, down to:

JOEYS EPIC VOTES THAT ARE EPIC

Most Original Design: Holepunch - the pneumatic crusher is something that should really be used more often in my opinion
Best Design: Darkestar
Most Overrated Vapourbot: Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
Most Underrated Vapourbot: Heyght II
Most Original Designer: Dan Stickler - for things like Fling and Supreme, and the continued use of Sinclair C5s if nothing else :P
Best Designer: Alex Holt
Most Overrated Vapourboteer: Aaron Knight - although it has to be said not completely without reason
Most Underrated Vapourboteer: Danny Bailey
Most Improved Vapourboteer: I think this should really go to Liam Eliot, as he really went up in the world before his unfortunate departure...
Idiot of the Year: Mark Elam, largely for spectacularly turning everyone against him and then effectively banning himself in an epic fashion. Paul Cuomo gets a mention though, for he reprieved himself from this at the eleventh hour by showing signs of improvement.
Best Sportsman: I think more or less everyone with a few exceptions has been very sporting this year, so I shall abstain from this one
Best Render: Marti Benschops rendering of his entire squad that served as his ZED signature until recently/Kodys rendering of his own squad
Funniest Moment: Anything that happened in late 2008 involving Andy Jackson, the fora of vapourbots, and a lot of vodka.

Biggest Surprise of the Year: Does it count as a vote for myself if I vote for the influx of newcomers?

Best Custom House Robot: Ancalgon The Black, for sheer overkillness
Best Custom Arena: Crash and Burn Arena
Best Comedy Bot: Woody in its various forms
Best Clusterbot: Weapons Synergy Unleashed
Best Interchangeable Robot: Macduff the 4th
Best Rammer: Flick Of The Wrist
Best Walker: Archangel of the Abyss

Best Rear Hinged Flipper: Ge5orce
Best Axe: Killotine Evo
Best Horizontal Spinner: Fox in the Box/Supreme
Best Vertical Spinner: The 6isc
Best Saw: Spin Dash Unleashed
Best Full Body Spinner / Ring Spinner / Translational Spinner: PsycloniZer/Tengu
Best Horizontal Crusher: Death Threat
Best Vertical Crusher: Holepunch
Best Miscellaneous Weapon: Cobalt (Yep, Frank devises a way to hold on to this award :P)
Most Effective Weapon: PsycloniZer

Best RPG: The Oddestseys return
Best Battle: The final of AJWars: Another Era - Liar 2 vs. Infusion
Best New Writer: Lewis Matthews - great new writer who Im really looking forward to see the progress of
Best New Tournament: Vapourbot Vengeance - great premise to base a tourney on, although honourable mention to Mechanical Maelstrom
Best Writer: Kody Kunz
Best Alternative Event (side events, extremes etcâ‚¬Â¦): The EOTR Annihilator - proof that when Paul finishes tournaments (emphasis on when :P) they are in fact very good
Best Minor Tournament (47 bots and under): AJWars: Another Era/The Phoenix Cup
Best Major Tournament (48 bots and over): Crash and Burn 3
Best Team: Team BriteSpark/Team Varying Every Day
Best New Vapourbot: Fling
Best New Vapourboteer: The sadly departed (for now anyway) Liam Eliot. :sad:
Best Vapourboteer of 2008: Andy Jackson
Best Vapourbot of 2008: Sheer Heart Attack 2 (Won C&B2 and is still feared by...well, everything :P)

Hall of Fame: This goes to the person who, from what I have read and heard, was one of the few responsible for saving vapourbots back in 2006 when it looked like it was going to die, and who when I first arrived back in February of this year was the vapourboteer who I found most willing to help me hone my stats and get me going in this hobby, and the person who I respect as one of the elite if you like, and who Ive come to consider as a friend. My nomination for the Vapourboteer Hall of Fame is...Martijn M Benschop. You deserve it, dude.

Hall of Fame (vapourbots): Ill have to give this one some thought...expect my votes tomorrow or sometime later than that.

It has been one of the better years for vapourbots from what it looks like (even though I speak that as a newcomer myself in this year :P) so well done to everyone for making it to the end and hopefully, the beginning of an even better one.

I completely forgot the C&B2 final was this very year, which means Sheer Heart Attack 2 actually won 2 tournaments in 2008

Thanks Leo.

And Ben...Im pretty sure Andy specifically prohibited voting for more than two people. Read the rules please

**kodster** · 21 November 2008, 19:28

The Vapourbot Awards 2008

Right, I guess it is time for I to cast in my nominations...

Most Original Design

Hum...I quite like Venus Fly Trap. Something that can flip, clamp, crush, push with that nifty weapons system. Steve-Os still got it.

Best Design

The May Tracks Has You. Its strategy to flip and rip tyres works exceedingly well IMO.

Most Overrated Vapourbot

That would be breaking the rules...

Most Underrated Vapourbot

Nitro-Gene 5.0, just because it was made by a guy whos developed somewhat of a bad reputation doesnt mean its crap, though it has come a long way from crappy incarnations. Slaying Mantis F and Monsoon Magnum came close because they underachieve quite a bit too.

Most Original Designer

Joey McConnell, Id say.

Best Designer

Alex Holt, he makes bots that win and look cool doing it.

Most Overrated Vapourboteer

That would be breaking the rules...

Most Underrated Vapourboteer

Hmm...toughie this. Id give it to Chezza (who now goes by the username No Wai) for hes actually bothered to participate and his bots, though good they are, dont seem to be getting the rep they deserve.

Most Improved Vapourboteer

Paul Cuomo. His bots may be still sub-par, but not nearly as much as they were before.

Idiot of the Year

Andrew Jackson. Lay off the cider, willya?! Youll kill yourself. :P

Best Sportsman

Martijn Benschop, he always keeps a cool head.

Best Render

Alex Holts render of Slammer VI looked really nice, I must say.

Funniest Moment

AJs drunken ramblings...

Biggest Surprise of the Year

Richard Southworth returning to write VFT 7.5! I honestly did not see that coming. O_O

Best Custom House Robot

Hmm...Bane from Franks squad.

Best Custom Arena

Liam Eliots Robot SMASH!! arena.

Best Comedy Bot

Sevas Turbo Tails.

Best Clusterbot

Door Stops.

Best Interchangeable Robot

Slammer VI

Best Rammer

Monsoon Magnum. Its a damn good rammer but it seems to be underachieving a bit.

Best Walker

Hex Appeal.

Best Shuffler

Whirligig 4.5. :P

Best Tracked

Darkestar for the sole reason that its made the finals in CC.

Best Front Hinged Flipper

G4briel Gabriel IV.

Best Rear Hinged Flipper

Achilles. Wedge Devolution is getting on in years. :P

Best Axe

Killotine: EVO still has it, IMO.

Best Horizontal Spinner

Eye of Ran is looking good, another underachiever.

Best Vertical Spinner

Leprosy Infection. With a little more tweaking, that terrible drum can do some serious damage.

Best Saw

Back to Rock III, because its done much better than Spin Dash this time.

Best Full Body Spinner / Ring Spinner / Translational Spinner

PsycloniZer, those hammers seriously pack a punch.

Best Horizontal Crusher

Umm...Gigabyte Evilution.

Best Vertical Crusher

Nidhogg Evo, because it can get its claw into play very effectively.

Best Miscellaneous Weapon

Ah...Traffic Warden looks promising.

Most Effective Weapon

The pit.

Best RPG

The Oddestsey: Return to Odd.

Best Battle

I quite liked SoR vs. Darkestar in the Chevron Championship.

Best New Writer

Damnit, I would have voted for Lewis, but technically since Joey is a newcomer I gotta vote for him. :P

Best New Tournament

The Chevron Championship, even if it is going at snails pace right now. :P

Best Writer

Richard Southworth, packing in a punch with the new VFT.

Best Alternative Event (side events, extremes etcâ‚¬Â¦)

Killed Toad Special had me laughing my ass off.

Best Minor Tournament (47 bots and under)

VFT 7.5!

Best Major Tournament (48 bots and over)

Robot SMASH Series 2, it was very good and it was a shame to see RS!!3 go down the drain. :sad:

Best Team

Team DoomForAll. Alex may be a lazy writer but his bots do the talking for him, and get him so many wins its ridiculous. XD

Best New Vapourbot

G4briel Gabriel IV, because its...the best damn front-hinged flipper since Wedgin8or.

Best New Vapourboteer

Meh, Joey McConnell I guess. :P

Best Vapourboteer of 2008

I will probably have to vote for Martijn Benschop here, hes always here to help the newbs, is generally friendly most of the time and kicks a load of butt in the warzone. Has to be Marti.

Best Vapourbot of 2008

For sheer annoyance of other people Im gonna say Wedge Devolution because even though its old, you cant ignore the fact that it is ridiculously successful and manages to keep up with the newer bots. Just wondering what Steve will do with it for the next redesign...oh yes, Steve, theres ALWAYS something you can do with it. :P

Vapourboteer Hall of Fame

Martijn Benschop, for reasons explained in Best Vapourboteer 2008

Vapourbot Hall of Fame (3)

Achilles
Son of Ripper X
Killotine: EVO

Thus concludes my awards.
