A Fractured Stock Showcase
Fracture:
Hey guys, I guess this is my real introductory post - I made a topic in the new member welcome forum but then I found out no one will see it unless they only have 1 post or are logged out...anyway I'll just quote my post from there.
--- Quote from: Fracture on April 14, 2011, 08:57:29 PM ---Hello GTM and all the users here! I literally just joined the forums about 10 minutes ago, and I guess you'll be calling me Fracture from now on. Here's some stuff about me:
* I got interested in robot combat at about 8 years of age when watching Robot Wars. My favourite bot was Dominator 2, and my least favourite was Pussycat; I think Pussycat just randomly beat Dominator once or something and that's why I didn't like it. Nowadays I don't watch it, and there's really no favourites for me.
* I first got Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction for the PC because it seemed like a good game. Later I found Robot Arena 2, which seems a lot better, and realistic.
* I'm from Canada, so don't start raging at me if I say centre instead of center or colour instead of color. :P
* I've been playing RA2 for about half a year now, probably less. I started about a year ago but obviously I haven't been playing full time since then. At the moment I play about 5-30 minutes of RA2 per day, which I'm not sure would count as just right or lower than average.
* So far I've only built Stock and I'm not bad at it, if I may say so myself. Really, I've been looking at some bots here so I know what level I'm at. I think I'd like DSL very much if I tried it, but I'm weird and won't. Dunno if I'm just lazy, scared, or whatever.
* I'm also weird because I don't use AI parts. Yeah, kinda puts a damper on my building without the Snapper II, but whatever. Same reasons as for why I haven't tried DSL.
* Again, also weird because I'm still staying in my little corner of building LWs and occasionally AWs. No HWs or MWs that I've actually worked hard on so far. Less options means less likely to build a bad robot, right? Also it doesn't take as long. :P
Anyway at this point I'm not sure how dead or alive this forum is, but hopefully I can get some good criticism in my showcase so I can become a better builder. I've been on a few other forums, but holy crap there's a lot of posting features here. I'm talking marquees, smileys, spoilers, insert FLASH?! And a BUNCH of profile customization too; I'm just used to an avatar and a signature. :rage Also I have no idea what reputation is.
Anyway I guess I'll see you guys on the rest of the forums, it seems pretty friendly here! (I kinda want the post verification to go away though T_T)

So, I guess this is the part where I post my bots?
Just some pics of two previous bots I made a long time ago to show my progress...
Because N12s are were the bomb. I just felt like showing you that. Now for my first ever real showcased bot...I bet I'll look back on this in a few months and think "Wow, I really sucked back then."
It's very efficient: 200/1.6 + 100 +100 = 325, enough to be powered by a Nifty. A DDT, however, would make the total power output have to be 512.5, a Supervolt. (and kind of a waste even then)
Yes, the razors all hit at the same time.
Yes, the wedge is below the wheels.
Yes, the razors start below the top of the chassis.
Yes, it has DSA.
Yes, it can self-right.
Comments? Anything about my level in terms of AI packs? I'm not sure if I should shorten the wedge, to protect the extender, but making it less effective. The wedge blocks most frontal attacks though, so the only thing I can imagine hitting that extender would be a very well placed hammer shot. (whether it be side or vertical)
Sorry there's no epic battleshots of me beating Starcore bots or something. I'm still on RFS AI v1.5; it's too easy but I love the teams and bot names. :mrgreen:
FOTEPX:
Hey, the last two aren't too bad!
And since I didn't get chance to say it before, Welcome.
May I also add, badass name you got there. *bows*
Scrap Daddy:
Well at least you built up to the weight limit on your first bots :P
As for you new bot, looks very nice and actually looks like one of my first bots.

Only thing I suggest is maybe get rid of a couple of razors and get a black or something else, but it really is fine as is. Good job and stick around, you've already impressed me.
NFX:
That actually doesn't look too bad, I reckon. I think if your MW and HW bots are of a similar standard, you might be able to hold your ground in Starcore V1.
