Boby's I Hate Stock Showcase

[Bobyasianboy]

First things first- **** stock. Anyone who plays stock is just a straight up masochist. That being said, help me improve my first stock bot.

DSA obviously, sitting a tad anaemic at 243.0

Nice, you can place the snapper II pointing away from the battery and attach the Ztek directly.You can do this by removing the battery, snapper load the motor and put the battery again, that´ll save weight.

Not quite. He'd have to remake the chassis for this.


@Boby- Bro stock is the best don't hate. Your bot isnt bad. Single motor LW HS has been run into the ground though. Generic tips would be to use a nifty (dont need a black), make the chassis micro, and attach everything to the snapper. That way you can get more weapons on.

I was mostly messing, though I think stock is my least favourite game type to build in because of how finicky it is. I'm not really sure what you mean by attach everything to the snapper. I appreciate the tips tho.

You know how you currently attached the drive motors to the chassis? If you learn snapper loading, you can easily put them on an extender coming off of the snapper, and then get rid of all that heavy chassis space. I have a bunch of video tutorials here https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=4512.0

Forgive the ignorance, I've got snapper loading down but I'm not sure on the set up I should be using to get all of the motors onto the snapper.

[Badger]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, since I haven't played stock in years, but couldn't you fit all the motors onto 1 blue snapper like so?

With black being the snapper, blue being RADs, red being extenders and green being z-tecs(I thought you were using 2 when I drew this, sorry)

Pretty much.

Anyway, sage is right. You only need a nifty, stack the cb in it for extra props.

you can't do it that way because the rads don't have an attachment point there.

You can't attach them from that back? Well that sucks. Still, you could just use 2 more extenders on the end to fix that.

waste of weight, there is better way to do it

There are a few ways to do it. I was gonna show you a few but I ended up just building a whole bot instead. Anyway, this is just to show you that it's possible, and how many more weapons you can fit on there if you build everything off the snapper.

[Bobyasianboy]

With Sage's assistance, I essentially cloned his bot and made it is worse

I'll see about stacking the nifty into the control board some other time, spent enough time on this already today.

[Pwnator]

That looks quite nice. The necessary stack aside, you've pretty much figured it out.

It's still very unstable, though. :P

[Bobyasianboy]

Steel, 320kg ish
It was nice to build a crap bot on purpose for once. I had to dig deep into my repressed memories to remember one of the first bots I built several years ago. Worried it might be too nooby for noob warz but then again...

[Conraaa]

It's good, but it doesn't have an awful enough paint job.

[Pwnator]

it doesn't need an awful paint job when there's a weapon system like that

[Bobyasianboy]

It's good, but it doesn't have an awful enough paint job.

Trying to keep it close to the original design man. I'm pretty sure the original had DSA and no paint job at all.

[Conraaa]

In which case go for it.

[Bobyasianboy]

I still hate stock. This took hours.


790kg DSA
12 razors
2 blacks

How do I spend more hours on it to improve it.
