Hey guys, this is a kind of dumb post, but I'm pretty proud of myself. I finally got it working with the Starcore v3 AI pack. I get what you guys meant that if I wanted a challenge then that was the way to go. My own bot, that whoops up on the stock AI, can't even touch most of the Starcore AI. The farthest I got with it was round 2 (in season mode). So I got into my designs and looked through them and found the stock Coal Miner bot. So I tinkered with it, pretty much stripped it down to nothing but chassis, rebuilt, and tried it. It won the first event it was in. :)

I'll post some images of the design, if i can figure out how to post my screenshots.

I'm starting to get better! Woohoo!

Ah, wow. I remember taking the game's premade robots and fooling around with their designs. :3 Good times, good times.

I love the Mad Max look that Coal Miner is sporting now, having been stripped down and the rebuilt with bulkier armor plating and weaponry.

Here's some better shot's of the robot itself.

I decided to name it "X-Para Mental"

You should start a showcase.

Hey man, that's pretty cool! There are many more things that you can learn to advance your building skills, but you have already mastered the key element: "Just have fun."

Stick around... hey, make a showcase. Your positive attitude is nice to have around. We can give you feedback on your bots (sometimes it's going to be painful... like fraternal hazing... but its only because we want you to join the ranks.)

good luck! keep playing.

I am going to, for "X-Para Mental" and my stock bot, "HurricaneAndrew"

Nice bot!

I've been playing the game a lot over the last few days.
So much so that I was like "WTF?" when my right mouse
button didn't let me rotate your pic! :-D

Yeah, I seem to have the urge to rotate the bots in the pictures, too. lol
