Modifications / Qualitative Wedge Ontology & Physiology (QWOP) 2403« on: August 23, 2018, 01:03:41 PM »This team replaces Team 35 (R.I.P. in piece, Ganja Benefactor!) from Starcore Alpha 2, and you can download it here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/downloads/?sa=view;down=413 Description: I used an iterative design process to build simple bots, optimizing based on combat performance. I hit a wall (...ha) with the Combat Arena favoring P2 in the first pass. Crawler hybrids were the result. LW: because every bot needs two wedges MW 1: kills Fury and Epic Jr. MW 2: ramplate wedge MW 3: ACME Brick, Vox AI HW 1: VS / crawler hybrid, Vox AI HW 2: NW clone, huge footprint, low CG, plastic armor Warning: if you overwrite your bindings.py and you're not on Starcore Alpha 2, your game will crash on launch! The installation order is in the file description: https://gametechmods.com/forums/downloads/?sa=view;down=413 Let me know what you think, if it deletes your system32 (or doesn't), etcetera. 3

The stacked Redbird motif is used really well on these LWs. The HS is as good as it gets without exostacking the baseplate and switching out for two maces (which I don't know if the stack's even viable, and might look sort of dumb even if you'd gain 1000 HP from the 6 kgs).
The rammer is also really really good. You could use pole spikes or something, but the maces have way more coverage. I think the T-connecter is nice here, symmetrical and compact. maybe angle the maces down to cover the root extender? At that point you'd basically be optimizing against specific opponents. If you use a pink battery and four maces you could build around a 140 cm Snapper II (2?) wedge, which may or may not be an effective variation. With 60 kg of maces on a LW, pop-ups might be your only weakness. If you add a wedge with that frontheavy weapon setup you'll end up with Lethal Force syndrome, where your only problem is that you'll get under everything all of the time. 4

I would have expected Drumblebees 5 and 6.5 to have the best wedges, because their drums are angled forward or mounted ahead of the chassis like RPB. It seems the wedge Drumblebees are destined to lose to pop-ups, because a row of DDTs weighs as much as the drum, and they both add weight behind the front of the chassis, while the DDTs can rest closer to the ground.
Wedge pedantry aside, Drumblebee 10 is definitely the best. It's just so compact, the wheels are classy, and the skin complements the red extenders. Even the signature barb cruft is more purposeful. Have you tried using the wrong attachment point on the drum extenders and manually rotating them through 180 degrees? With everything on baseplates like that, it just feels like it should be really stable.
