Congratulations to all who entered, with a grand total of 101 individual bots,
its been quite a success. Tim and I never expected so many.
On to the winners!
First Place, winner of the 10030, goes to...
Jamie Neufeld and the Dome Bot!
Second place, winner of the 7191, goes to...
 Bruce Lowell and the Bot
Dog! “Hot dog! We have a weiner!”
Third place, winner of the 4483, goes to...
Soren Roberts and the Skank Bot!
There were so many great bots, so we would like to recognize these other bots,
all of which were in the running: (in order that they were entered)
Cop Bot,
Steam Bot,
3vil Bot,
Tug Bot,
Biff Bot,
G3,
Ceti Republic Tank
Robriq,
Lumber Bot
But really, narrowing 101 great bots down to 3 was very difficult, and we
both want to pat everyone on the back for a job well done. I am glad I made a
page to organize them all, because
there are a lot of ideas and techniques I intend to borrow (steal).
Next summer, let’s aim for 200 bots!

| (...) One quick thought, I know this brings up some sad memories and feelings, but gosh, wouldn't Travis Kunce have loved this? Could someone do him a favor and, even though the contest is over, create a bot in his style in tribute. Just if anyone (...) (20 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Congradulations winners! Thankyou Tim and Kevin for running the contest, especially with those prizes. I would probably have never built some of the stuff I did, especially the transformer, if it were not for the competition. The goldmine in ideas (...) (20 years ago, 13-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) (URL) (...) I hadn't seen this entry before, and yet I can clearly see why you both chose this one, even though I haven't even looked at the rest of the entries. This bot is awesome! My space helmet's off to you, Jamie! I'm totally stumped by (...) (20 years ago, 13-Aug-04, to lugnet.space)
