HA You would of had my vote!

Well, professor...I'm back, and it's judgement day! So without further ado...the winner is...Garth! You two made the decision making process a living h3ll, I'll have you know. While I actually preferred your storyline (hilarious!) and build complexity over Garths, I felt you got just a scosh too far from the Cyborg Racer concept. I mentioned on Garth's page that if this had been a free-style category, you'd have had my vote. I'm sorry to have to give ya the axe with such a great build...cause for being a looser, this MOC has win written all over it.

I must also say, I am a bit disappointed. I was hoping to see some kind of awesome castle cyborg-racer, but all I got was snails... Oh well.

Pure hillarium! The whole thing was so well done. I just have to remember never to wear that dress again now that it's made it to the tranny set. Keep It SNOTty Sir!

Just when I thought being a judge couldn't get any tougher, I'm faced with this decision. You both have solid builds, and I couldn't give the edge either way based on that alone. It was just too close. I think Garth embodied the spirit of cyborg racing more, but you get points for thinking outside the box. However, in this case, I think you went a little too far outside, so I've decided to give Garth my vote. I guess we'll have to wait for Kelso to return to decide the outcome. By the way, your entry was hilarious.

You get my vote.

(continued from below) Of course, you could argue that his people headed snails are not actually cyborgs at all, but as long as there is some artificial means of connecting the head and body, it technically qualifies. And in the end, when you compare the actual racers, although Garth’s was awesome and very much in keeping with cyborg racer tradition, I laughed my a$@ of at Eggy’s silly little snails, so I went with him. So there…;-)

(continued from below) Actually, according to Shannon’s Original rules (which can be found with his “Mellow Yellow” cyborg racer) the only hard and fast rule is that “the head must be protected from the harsh environment of space.” Humorous back story and the infamous “song name requirement” are encouraged, but in those original rules, are not required. And in fact, since Eggy’s entry takes place on land and not in space, he actually followed the “head protection rule” by giving all the racers headgear. (continued above)

OK people, this should stir up a little controversy, but I’m giving my vote to Professor Eggplant, and it’s not because I’m actually in the MOC (although that was funny.) After seeing both entries, and although Garth’s was excellent, my heart told me to go with Eggy’s hilarious “outside the box” effort. Now, I just had to determine if it was even an admissible entry. Chris’ MocOlympics guidelines said to follow Shannon’s Original rules for cyborg racers, and also singled out naming it after a song as one of the rules. (continued above)

I agree with my brother, Garth gets my votes. I was still LULZing through the whole thing, though.

Wow, so close. If I were a judge though, my vote would go to Garth because you're racers were a sideshow, while Garth put much more time into his. You definitely still get props for the humor, though.

Very good idea with the snails and the castle! That won't be easy fur the judges. Good Luck!

Great job! I love all the minifigs and cyborg racers. Creative and funny.

Funny idea ! Very good MOC, even if it's more a cool castle dio than a Cyborg Racer, but nevermind, it's still awesome ! Good luck !

Since you know what an uptight rules nazi I am, I have to scream: "DISQUALIFY HIM! HIS 'RACERS' AREN'T NAMED AFTER SONGS!" Otherwise, very entertaining and I do like the cyborg snail concept. I used to have a weird math/science teacher in junior high who would stage maggot races on the overhead projector, so that takes me back. (Bonus points for getting my sig-fig right, even if I would never tell a joke that bad.)

I dont think I woul class it has a cyborg racer as cyborg racers where originaly heads on spaceships! But it is a good story.

Wow! You guys are both awesome. I don't think I've seen backgrounds with cyborg racers before. Of course the racer build itself here was not very complex but I have got to give it to you on the concept! Way to take it into left field! I'd give you full points for originality on that one. The story smack talk was great. I knew putting myself in that outfit was a bad idea when I did it... Like I just told Garth, this is why I enlisted the judges because I wouldn't be able to make a decision on this match. Good luck! ~ Chris.

yea...the story was pretty cool!! but hey, didnt chris-p realize that it shouldve been "MOClympics" instead?

Well, the story is... interesting... Well, at least it is different. As far as the cyborg racers, I guess they count (sort of), but come on, putting heads on a wedge should not get you to round to of the MOColympics. Honestly, I expected something a bit more... racer-esk from you. Oh, well, I like the sig-fig.

Excellently brilliantly funny! Yeah, that jellyfish concept seems awfully familiar...it was probably designed by some l*ser! Great job Eggplant; this will be one tough decision for the judges! Yours brickly, Nick

That is purely awesome, Brian. But is it a cyborg racer? Oh well, I'm not the judge. Well done! I love the diorama and pod-racing feel to it. 5/5

That sure is funny, and you managed to get some castle stuff in there. That's one darn slow race. Good luck. garth
