No, Starcore is a Godlike builder, and the rest of us are children trying to hammer stuff together.


Well then why were me an click up for best bots instead of him huh? HUH?!

Just kidding. but seriously, don't fret over it. It's all for fun right? And its probably not impossible to beat him. stranger things have happened (like Sorrow's team in the Tag Team championship beating Starcore and ACAMS) Of course that win would probably never happen again, but still...
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Sage is right, this is just for fun.
Quite frankly I would be honoured to go out to Starcore...

Even if you dont win a single round its fun just to build the bots.  And contest them no matter what happens.

I don't think I'll do very well since I am better with DSL than I am with Stock. But I think that I will win a match.

Guys, would you stop wetting your pants... Sure, Starcore IS still ones of the best builders here, but... well, there are Inf, Click, Sage, ACAMS, Pysc that belong to the same category.

Don't think a rookie will win this one, though.

I think too many of you are confusing Starcore's AI innovations with his building skill. Sure, he's a great builder, but I'd put Clickbeetle, Pyscolone, Sage, Inf, and ACAMS in his category though (last I checked, Scrap's getting there too...).

What we have him to thank for is basically the improvement in robot designs we've seen. If not for him, EMERGENCY might still be the toughest bot for most of us to beat.

I have had others say I was known for my AI skills, not my building skills. I would like to think I was pretty good builder overall but I did spread myself quite thin filling in the gaps across the entire packs and helping people tune up their entries versus some people working on their private teams and known for excellence of a few key bots.

Back then I could not play online due to my network configuration, I knew that others were in the same boat and no matter what that people needed better stock AI opposition to practice against and learn from.

I did a pretty good job of pulling together the community with the Starcore Packs and leading the creation of DSL. Back then the RA2 community was at each others throats and many great builders were banned from this forum or that forum for lots of silly reasons. People like Rejected had nearly left the scene over all the fighting and had named himself Rejected because thats what had happened to him. DarkRat had been on the edge of leaving when I got him and Lutze interested in doing DSL. And it brought tears to my eyes when Lutze got out of her deathbed to help fix the DSL launcher to work with the Download Version of RA2 so we wouldn't lose that side of the community.

My skill was AIing, solid building across a wide range of bot types, program management and the desire to help teach people by example at a time when most all the veterans were hiding thier internals and spitting barbs at each other. Even used DSL to force forum leaders to get along and un-ban alot of people if they wanted to be involved in the DSL project council.

I do believe I have made some nice designs and I am pretty proud of my personal team, the Spin Doctors. Those that have played against them in Starcore 4 Alpha have seen what I could do but even that was over a year ago with plenty of time to practice against them. The side effect of putting out my bots as examples means that many can study and learn and grow. I fully expect you all to have risen past my efforts again. My top heavy weights are known and have been torn apart and fought by key members here many times. Heavy Weight Bots like the Starcore 4 Maelstrom, Spin Doctor, Warmachine and the revamped Alien Queen.

Godlike no. Glad that I could mentor and help a great bunch of kids, teens, and adults  stay interested in robotics, engineering, building and creating via RA2 through the Starcore Packs and DSL, yes.

I will have to relearn RA2 again for this tourny. I am looking forward to it...

Well Starcore you're probably going to have the best AIed bot of this tourney...

I'm definitely going to build a HW rupter for this (doesn't mean i'll enter it).

Because any multibot entering this will get most probably raped by the first HS it'll meet.

Plus, i'm expecting fun fights with a rupter, and with an arena like that it could actually be efficient even against 36-maces if it rupts well (and this is the main difficulty when one builds a rupter).

Starcore basically taught me most of what i know about building today. (even though he didnt know it)

when i was learning the basics, (and most people remember) most of my bots were clones. A lot of people criticized me for it, but its actually a very good training technique. and guess whos bots i copied?
