STDP: The BW Mini hunter is facing the wrong way, and runs away from other bots bacause of it.

Good catch. Will check and fix. These are the types of fixes we definitely need to catch along the way with improving and replacing this and that.

Thanks,

Starcore

i tried VR Rino in the BBEANS V2 arena, and for some reason, it just kept trying to drive into the wall.

That too normally means the front is not set right for the bot vs the AI expectations. Will check VR Rino as well.

SD is right, I still have some bots that need to be incorporated.

(And yes the 'new' Epic sucks)

My bot building abilities will be back when i get my computer back.

yea nice job SD.

The new "Epic" is Anulbis' Constance Boozers from ARBBC, which is honestly worse than the other Epic. The ramplate is seriously worthless there.

Thats why I do an Alpha, to catch and improve. Not all enhancements that people submit are 'better'.

And yes I do like the new UltraViolet (Ultra Violence).

I'm having major stability issues with my VS rebuilds; i'll try again but not sure if that would work. I could try some of the XORbs too.

Ultra Violence is a great name.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #73 on:** February 17, 2009, 02:37:49 PM »

Last two i have done.

UPGRADES- Weapons have higher hp. Black batt instead of nifty. I don't like the non-centerness of the spinners. I might rebuild this one.

UPGRADES-8 razors instead of 4. 2 blacks.

Starcore? Are you saying Castle guard will be replaced by that?

I fully approve of a diverse AI pack, But let me fix up a Thwack for CG.

Edit:

I give you: Guardian of thy Castle!

Updates include:

Linked trinity piston system, meaning it's even faster than most trinity thwacks, WITH controlled movement!

A better name. (C'mon, who doesn't think that I come up with decent names.?)

Starcore · « **Reply #75 on:** February 17, 2009, 09:29:43 PM »

Castle Guard was behind the curve as a Twack Bot so yes I looked for a strong replacement. I helped tune H.A.N.N.A.H to be strong LW VS and named it Trebuchet.

Could name it something like Centurian if Castle Guard is not good enough but yes on coming back on the scene I have considered replacing Castle Guard with some form of Tiny Trinity as being more appropriate replacement for the relatively ancient Twack Bot.

One of the goals of the Starcore Packs has been to show a diverse range of bot types across as many weight classes as practical. Twack Bots have limited capabilities so I had considered replacing with a different more competitive style. Thus the consideration of H.A.N.N.A.H

Would love to see your Guardian of the Castle in operation.

what the, what the, are you using the - no CO2 glitch?

Sage · « **Reply #77 on:** February 17, 2009, 09:42:54 PM »

you can use tiny trinity for that replacement. we want the best for starcore. sorry S32, but that 'linked pistons' system just makes it more vulnerable.

System32 · « **Reply #78 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:09:22 AM »

Wait untill you see BOTM, Sage.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #79 on:** February 18, 2009, 02:26:52 PM »

If you use tiny trinity as castle guard keep trebuchet in the pack. Put it on another team
