Title: (Giveaway) Brobot V1
Post by: dustinhxc on Fri, 05 December 2014, 22:12:04
I have decided to do a giveaway for a Chocolate Brobot V1! :cool:

(http://i61.tinypic.com/ljo8h.jpg)

The keycap is Cherry MX and made by Bro Caps.
You can not own any V1 Bro bots.
You pay for shipping.
I will close this Today, Sunday at 2PM Central
Please post why you would like the keycap.   :thumb:



Thank You, good luck!  ;)


Winner: Strict   :cool:
I'm excited to get this into your hands so you can see one in person and treasure it! Enjoy!

Yay!  Thanks for doing this giveaway, Dustin!  :) 

I've never owned a BBV1.  I remember seeing my first BBV1 when I was at the MN meetup in May 2013, when I was still quite new to GH.  The whole artisan scene was incredibly overwhelming to me, and I was amazed by the small collection I saw.  To a certain extent, that ignited the interest for me - though it still took quite some time (another 9 months or so) before I had a proper BroBot. 

This looks like it would go splendidly with the DSA Retro set, and I would be honoured to add it to my collection.  Though, to be honest, it would probably be best suited for someone else's collection (though I would love to have it myself, I just think that someone without any artisan caps would be more deserving).

At any rate, I appreciate what you're doing and hope that this BBV1 finds a new loving owner!   :-*

I would love to enter for this beauty of a keycap. I haven't owned any BBV1s before. I also own a couple of artisan caps, so I can understand you giving it to someone who doesn't. If I won, I would likely treasure it for a few months and then do another giveaway.

Thanks for the giveaway.  I do not own any V1 BroBots.  I would love to own this one.  I am a huge fan of Bro's work and I have never even seen one of his V1 BBs in person.  I love the robot theme and I would love to own a V1.

Another member doing a giveaway, this community rocks! Thanks Dustin!!!
 
I'm also not entering as i'm not particularly fond of the color and would feel awful trading it.

Post by: strict on Fri, 05 December 2014, 22:54:33
Thanks for doing this Dustin! I have been anxious to own a v1 ever since the first pictures I saw of them. I've never been lucky enough to hold or even see one in person. Rest assured, if I am fortunate enough to win, I would treasure this key and it would never get flipped for profit  :thumb:

I don't own any BroBots at all. Also could you clarify if this is an actual keycap or a tasty snack?

Just dropping by to say what youre doing is great! I wont take part since I have a feeling newcomers here without credibility is gonna have a hard time taking part in these. The world of artisan keycaps is eye-opening with a lot of newbies that want but cant step their foot in. So PLEASE keep coming with this kind of awesomeness!
Good luck all<3

I may be relatively new around here, but that sweet ChocoBot would look fantastic on my incoming Mint-keyed Varmillo.

I'll never get over the generosity of the keyboard-enthusiast community, a great group to be a part of!

I do not own any Brobots at all and why you should give it to me is because.....

I got the golden ticket for the chocolatez!

Thanks dustin, this is really nice of you. The number of giveaways this festive season is off the charts. I'm loving the spirit. I'm not going to enter, for the BBV1 doesn't excite me much and won't go whit any of my existing sets. Good luck to all who enter and thanks once again dustinhxc.

Thanks for the chance at a great cap, I've never owned a V1 but I love the design. Also getting one from your amazing collection would be killer, the reason I'd like the cap is brown matches my favorite color and the color of all my boards (purple).

This'd go really well with the 1976 set engicoder has started an IC for :D https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=65935.0

I won't participate in this one (even though I don't own a 'Bot yet), just wanted to say thank you for doing this and good luck to all the participants.

I would like this keycap because I don't own any brobots at all. I think it would be a neat addition with the coffee set I have ordered and it's on it's way. I think it would make a nice addition to my keycaps.

Thank you for doing the giveaway! I would like it because I don't even have any BroBot caps and I have entered in the past 3 raffles to get them off of ctrlalt.io , but my luck is trash. I also think that BroBot V1's look a lot better than the V2's because of the uniqueness of the shape, and because they just look cooler :p.
