Shield's dumpster

Yes, the three hammer bots don't look like that, but face it, they sucked in Starcore. Why not give 'em an upgrade?

then why not make them actually decent, these are just terrible and if you aren't going to stick with the original designs, i don't know why you're making them at all.

I'm not trying to give them a COMPLETE over do, just trying to make them a little more deadly whilst still looking as close to the original as possible.

Terrible? All of the bots so far have been able to knock out most of the default DSL AI with ease. Even Tempus Fugit destroys most MW's.

Don't forget to skin them.

Yea, trying to find the skins will be a bit of a pain tho.

Not if you use the original chassis.

it looks like it starts off on its side

I thought that too but the point of virw makes it an optical illousion

[Mr. AS]

those hammer bots actually do look like thier SC3 versions to an tolerable degree. bandersnatch just needs 4WD and it'll be fine.

I am proud to have fathered both the Starcore pack and DSL so I am happy to see you working to make a DSL updated version of the Starcore bots.

I am fine with calling the DSL update efforts to recreate the Starcore pack something like:


Starcore Memories


Starcore DSL


Starcore Redux




Any of those would be appropriate.


Nice to see you all are trying to keep the memories going with latest learnings. Do remember that many of the designs were based on information near 10 years ago. So what you consider sucks was effective at the time and out did basically anything else that existed at the time.


If you want to base on the latest tunings, yes use the Starcore 4 Alpha pack. There were a few mistakes in those but not many. Most everything was brought to latest techniques while keeping the looks and textures where possible. For example, Alien Queen is much more stable and effective in 4a as are many others.


Good luck and happy to see what you come up with,

How many more posts saying: "Oh Starcore posted!"?
Might be cool if you were to make poll as to what the name could be.

Starcore Redux it is.

But, how about we take a break from all that at the moment, I'm done building the few teams I mentioned, how about a bit of standard?



I daresay this is definitely my best one so far.

[MassimoV]

Interesting but it won't be very effective.

[Shield]

Yes it isn't. 

but the HW version is loads better

[MassimoV]

Well just the whole setup, a chained motor HS will probably be unstable and won't have enough weapons.

[Naryar]

lol no

[Davidyamy]

Massimo recommendations are excellent, and SHIELD, your bots seduce me

T-Minus-esque flipper. Forgot what the armor was. Has the issue of flipping onto it's back when firing the flipper. Will improve eventually...

[Naryar]

make a wider wheelbase.

Also looks pretty fragile.

[Badnik96]

Looks alright, I'd try to get something in back to keep it from flipping, like a flipper maker or something.

It IS fragile. Can't take more than 3 shots from a good hammer bot to damage the CB.

lol no weight. Unless I change wheels.

[Naryar]

Well, of course it is fragile... take steps to fix that ?
