Yes, as I later repented about an hour later, Rusty & Boxer at the JFK
assassination would be cool, and more specific topics like these would
prevent the 3DS game designer from simply dumping his portfolio onto the
IRTC server. . .

Rusty the Robot is no replacement for Rusty the Mailgirl.

Except for three of the four robots, and the chess set, everything in
the Robot entry was created since the announcement of the topic. That
includes the animation within the animation; I know it looks a lot like
others, but it was intentionally made to look unimaginative.

I'd like to add that of the six Rusty animations to date, all but two
have included a character model that wasn't in a prior Rusty animation.
If I were to count Rosie as a new model (even though she is only a
re-textured Rusty), and discount the Greb's first appearance (because in
RaBBA they existed only from the shoulders up), then all of the Rusty
animations have featured new characters.
I have never made a secret of my intention to enter Rusty animations
no matter how far I have to stretch the topic. There is one possible
topic for which I will not be doing a Rusty animation (and even then
he'll appear in the same way as Superman appears in every episode of
Seinfeld), but I won't say what it is because (a) I don't want to affect
the topic selection and (b) I dislike announcing the intention to do
something and then finding myself unable to follow through. In the
spirit of the IRTC competition I am not doing any modelling for that
idea until I've either given up on doing it for the IRTC, or a topic
that matches the idea is announced.

Thanks.
Coming up with the idea for this round was actually harder this time
than before, because there were so many possibilities to choose from.
When the topic doesn't lend itself easily to robots, it usually limits
the possibilities to just a handful of ideas.

Ssshhh!
> Useless to think of a topic that Rusty can't fit.
True; but as I've said elsewhere in this thread, there are some possible
topics for which I have already decided to do something else. I have
a fairly firm story line in place for this eventuality, but I won't do
any modelling work until a topic that fits it is announced (the April
2000 topic is a near miss).
Regards,
John

I would be very disappointed if there was a round without a Rusty animation.
Keep up the good work.
Btw. Somehow I like Rosie's animation :)

I was blowing off steam before I formalized the exact source of my
discontent.
I did give your entry the second highest score in my judging. When someone
mentioned that Rusty & Boxer could still fit their way into a JFK theme, I
realized that yes, that would be great fun.
The entries, that with my biased judgement I assumed were 3DS portfolio
dumps to the IRTC server, really bug me, not Rusty himself! I do indeed want
more eclectic topics, but not to exclude Rusty, but to make it harder for
professionals to dump a pre-existing project and call it an original IRTC
entry. Vague categories like "Creatures," "Robots," and "Life" beg this to
happen.
I'm not biased against 3DS users, but against hit and run contributors to
the IRTC. Sorry if I made loose comments that appeared to single you out.

On the other hand, I wouldn't like to see 4 entries in the topic "JFK"
only because it's too difficult.

I wouldn't want to see a "JFK" round simply because I am so sick of
hearing about it I could scream.
