ok so i watch a lot of youtube videos about chess despite barely knowing how to play and something really funny happened on chess.com which is the site people go to to play chess online

basically they have a bunch of chess bots you can choose to play against at various different power levels (~100 is total noob, ~2500 is like, mega grandmaster). and recently they released a bunch of…cat themed bots?

but the noteworthy one is the cosmic horror known as Mittens.

Mittens has a listed power level of 1. However, that is a deception. Mittens is actually incredibly powerful, defeating top players with ease, and actually holding his own against the most powerful chess bots in existence.

also he sends you these weird messages like

absolutely wild

WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition

submit your nominations here!

(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)

RULES AND NOTES:

contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.

i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry

robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!

if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard

polls will last 24 hours each!

i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!

i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!

as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!

hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3

suns is such a funny character, to me
