With the release of the new Kong movie in cinemas recently, it felt like the perfect opportunity to host another of our popular Artbot Competitions.
For our most recent Artbot competition we wanted to see your fearsome movie monsters in Robot form. We wanted to see Robots that were based on movie monsters; either live action or animated. We were looking for aliens, monsters in closets, dinosaurs and dragons. I have to say, you didn’t disappoint - there were some cracking entries.
We split the competition into five different categories to make it easier for you (and us).
- Three legs or less (humanoid monsters, snakes and Graboids)
- Motorized monsters (monster trucks, cars from hell, flaming motorcycles)
- From the ocean deep (giant squid, massive sharks, Kraken)
- Four or more limbs (giant spiders and killer rabbits)
- Flying monsters (Mothra, Dragons, Flying Monkeys)
As per usual, there were some excellent artbot submissions but they failed to make the longlist as the builder didn’t read the rules correctly and they failed list the submission category in the description. Again, I say this all the time, please read the rules.
So, let’s get down to the business at hand and announce my favorite ten from each of the five categories. As per usual, these are in no particular order.
We’ll be announcing the winner along with two runners-up for each category on this week’s Robostream so tune in to find out who won.
