Well a few things.

1.  Orange block is for tier 5, they are ineffective at T7 no matter how you build.  And tbh you are better off at tier 5 at level 37 anyway.
2.  Top just channels damage inward in a strait line.  Just use the "solid wall" method you are already using on the sides.
3.  4 hover blades are slow.  you need at least 6.
4.  I don't use any fancy triforce.  The inner tube uses solid inners and full cubes (besides the pilot seat).  Yes you really need some weight there to keep hovercraft stablize.
5.  Also that red bot with 8 electroplate is not a tank.  It wins by out maneuvering with 12 pads and 4 thrusters.  Electroplates in general are not useful for tanks, they are for hit and run with medic support.
6.  Above all else, there are no reason to rush to a tier you are not effective in.  I took my time got to level 100 by tier 8.  Make sure you are winning at your current tier before moving up.

Thank you so much! Those are very good tips, well now that I got the Overwolf bot I have 1132 CPU, are you saying if I get Overwolf on a new account and then start leveling I will have more CPU than I can on this account because now I am 37 level and that means ((100 - 37) x 10 ) + 1132 = 1762 Max CPU but with Overwolf (100 x 10 ) + 1132 = 2132 Max CPU?!

CPU limit is 1509.

This poop is depressing.  People suck so hard now at T10 I am killing everyone with a damn sub 500 red hovercraft with 6 SMGs.

Modified from the previous version by cutting hoverpads down to T8.
Hey, I am a big fan of your work!  :claping
I studied how to effectively armor and triforce using your methods, but now that I got to tier 7 I just can't make a durable bot...  :rage

Could you please show me a layer by layer dissection of that 6x SMG hover bot please?  :beer:






I will get that robot bundle tomorrow most likely, hope they don't run out of codes...  :dumb)

I'm not an expert (yet) but I can say that you did the armour totally wrong. Consider how damage propagates through it - it goes in straight lines straight into your robot. You probably should flip that armour 90 degrees.

Also I'm not sure about orange blocks.

Very good deal, 3 months premium, 1 garage slot, and a quick boost in CPU for any new account, for only $7.79.

Anyone who wants to pay to win should grab this package.

Thanks, that's a pretty good deal, so I bought it.

WOLF-FEST-872934 is a 1 day free premium code for those interested.

How can those SMG's hit through those shields?

I tried building something like this, but I can't figure out how to make it fly without constantly tipping over (it's very top heavy): http://i.imgur.com/qX6PyYW.jpg

This is what it looks like:




Note: I only have 800 CPU to work with. And there's two hoverblades hidden at the back at the top.

How do you decide what cubes to use for what tier?

And how do you buy the cubes? In bulk? When you need them?

I'm pretty poor so I don't wanna spend money on things I don't wanna use.


And what is the best way to make your tank mobile, hoverblades? Do you hide the hoverblades in the chassis somewhere?

It's going fine, going to university.

Got nothing to show for RA2, currently checking out Robocraft (although I'm still relatively new, haven't got unlocks past T6). If anyone wants to play with me my username is orlp__ ("orlp" followed by two underscores).

Very nice, I'm just a little worried what happens when one iron touches that T extender in the back.

Wow, someone actually thought I'm the second best builder?
Sixth best. The numbers indicate how many points you were awarded, 7 for first, 6 for second, and so forth.

Aha  :approve:

NC's (nightcracker's) Stacking Tool is a program/macro (I don't know the correct terminology) that uses AutoHotKey to move the cursor by a single pixel when you press a combination of keys, allowing for much more precise positioning of components on the baseplate. It was actually the first thing he did when he got here. =D

That would be me! It actually is a combination of AutoHotkey with a C script because I had more control with moving the mouse through C. I thought before I was going to make it C-only and remove AutoHotkey, but I think it works fine as is.

Epic Jr. and Insectoid actually are the two wedgiest bots of Starcore, as I found.
