A Fractured Stock Showcase

[J]

Side motors look a little exposed IMO

[Fracture]

P.S. Don't try to build a LW crawler.

Ever.

But hey, I stacked a Nifty in a control board!  (or would it be the other way around?) Both have DSA.

[madman3]

The popup only really needs normal Z-Teks. I'd also scrap the caster armour and get a wedge.

[Fracture]

Yeah but I kinda already made that bot in my first post. xD

On the LW Crawler, if you rotated the motors 90 degrees and had them facing away from each other, you could wire it like an SnS and that'd be quite a tough opponent, I reckon.

Somebody forgot to review his physics. :o If the motors face away from each other the chassis spins instead while the discs do nothing.

And it's already supposed to be an SnS (what else did you think?).

At the moment, because their planes of motion are closer together, it'll be slower to turn. And RA2 basically ties physics to a chair and farts at it until it passes out.

For the pop-up:
-Use normal Z-Teks.
-Take off the ramplate and castor armor.
-Try to fit in a DDT.
-Use irons, not razors.

Erm...I'd rather not have an armourless popup in a division where about 70% of the bots are HS...

tbh, you would be fine with redbirds on the LW popup.
And try to re-design the chassis a little bit, you are eating up a ton of weight by putting the snapper between the drive an the nifty.

I'm sorry, did you say something?

Irons? On a POPUP? Are you dumb all the time, or just on weekends?

So last night I thought about what makes a signature bot. As in, what are some of the qualities I'd want in my signature bot? Well, first of all, I'd want it to remind people of me...I don't want anyone to see it and go "Hey that looks like a bot Pwnator would build!". I decided that I was pretty much known for no bots other than lightweights, so...I decided I was going to build a lightweight. But, what else makes a signature bot? It has to be unique was another point I came up with...not something people have seen a million times before. That's boring. Of course, while being unique, it has to be effective at the same time; this is the kind of bot I'd want to consider entering into tournaments, and I don't mean the in-game ones with the Stock AI. So with my checklist ready, I set out to make my bot...but after I was done, I realized, a signature bot needs a cool name and texture. This was definitely the hardest part of making my signature bot...I couldn't find or make any good textures or come up with a good name at first. I pulled through in the end, though, and this is what I came up with:



Trine was a cool little HS I built with DSA and a Nifty, as it only needed to power 4 RADs...but apparently it ran out of power too quickly, so I rebuilt the chassis to fit in a Supervolt. Insides:



The RADs spin faster because of the SnapperII, and Trine is weaponed with two Irons and four Razors as well as DSA. So I built a nice bot. Was I done? I wanted to make sure I was truly satisfied with my to-be signature bot...so I took it out for a spin with Starcore AI v4, and LOVED how it performed. If I ever wanted to know how a bot was built and its extender setup and whatnot, I could just battle it with Trine, because it literally dismantled every single bot it came across. I made an album of some good dismantling memories of some battles:



Trine and me dismantling Billy Goat Gruff because I wanted to find out why the wedge was attached in such a weird way. 



Happy times dismantling Tempus Fugit. (DANGIT TRINE YOU MISSED A WHEEL AGAIN  )



A nice picnic with Eagle Borg Scout. He lost all of his 9 razors and I lost 1.  (41-second dismantling, that's a new record for Trine! :D)

It was actually after I tried it out that I understood how Trine was so successful in its battles - the bottom tribar, being placed extremely low to the ground, went under most other chassi or at least other spinners to attack the chassis directly on HS, while the top one aimed for exposed motors like on v4 Cyclone or Sentinel Observer, or just simply the chassis. I <3 this bot, and I'll somehow make it my signature in the future. You'll find your signature bot someday too if you just believe! 

So anyway that's my new bot Trine with a bit of a backstory for your enjoyment. As you can see it beats Starcore v4 AI with ease and I really like it. Plus, it's a LW HS that's actually unique, what more could you ask for?

[Pwnator]

Haven't seen this kind of HS in ages. Great job.

I don't think this is gonna be your signature bot, though. You can find that our signature bots are on the heavier weight classes. Which is which is why Sage doesn't have any LWs nor MWs on his sig. :P

Yes, everyone has there own signature robot.
....Sometimes, people have the same. Other times, they don't.

I'm going to make a communism joke. It'll be in a while, because I have school. But I'll make one.
 
Nobody will stop me.

[NFX]

That is VERY nicely built. I'm not a fan of asymmetrical chassis', personally, but it does look great. I'm wondering if the extender work/chassis could be lightened up a bit for you to get six irons on there. If you mounted the SnapperII on its back, and attached the motors directly to it, I think that'd help.

[Jack Daniels]

You had me on: "rebuilt the chassis to fit the supervolt"  <3

LOL that whole signature bot backstory was kinda half made-up. (of course, there's some genuine truth in it)
