Na-na na-na na-na na-na Artbot!

For our most recent Artbot competition, we sent out the proverbial ‘Bat Signal’ to call upon you, our incredibly creative Robocrafters, to design some Superhero (and Supervillain) Robocraft Artbots. We were inundated with all (Wayne) manner (see what I did there) of Robots from the pages of DC and Marvel comics alongside other heroes and villains from popular culture as well as some very creative ones dug up from the depths of your imaginations. To make things easier for you, we split the competition into five categories:

• Comic book superheroes or their vehicles
• Comic book supervillains or their vehicles
• Superheroes or their vehicles based on your original idea
• Supervillains or their vehicles based on your original idea
• All 2D artbots

It’s a massive shame that some of the great looking bots didn’t make the longlist for a couple of reasons; one was the lack of a category in the description (a requirement in the rules) and the other was that many of the robots submitted to categories 3 and 4 were not original ideas - E.V.E and Claptrap are not original ideas. So, onto the longlist. Below are 10 Robots in each category; we’ll be announcing the winner of each category, along with two runners-up, later this week.
