Random question
« on: April 03, 2015, 01:58:07 PM »
You know how the Stock AI bots have like Double Strength armors, would it be cheating to take a bot that has DS Steel (like emergency), make a bot out of it's chassis, and to enter it in a tournament? I know it would probably be useless but I was wondering because it's not BFE or anything.

I believe it applies to any AI bot. So once you have AI'ed one of your own bots, it will also have double strength armor.

It's been done in the past, and considering most stock bots have too large or unpractical chassis... nope, not cheating.

As Naryar said, you can use a Stock AI bot's chassis to get more HP but it doesn't really help as much as you would think because you are left with quite a bit of empty space in the chassis. There is a reason that people say to build the bot around the components.

Also, unless I modified the version of Emergency that I have on my Mac, it has standard steel armor. I think I have a list of all of the armor types used by the stock AI somewhere on my gaming PC...

You can probably make a decent hw using a stock lw chassis.

I'll dig up the version 123 sent me way back in the day. It's probably still the best Warhead for DSL 2.
