I made another LW popup with DSA armor:



Now I began to AI my bots as well.

I made this bot to have "omni" AI, and made a little tournament where I challenged all Starcore V3 LW robots:

The result of the first round can be seen below. I was surprised the despite the not too shallow wedge it can finish many spinner with ease, it targets the hub of them and keeps locked on then then it pecks on the often exposed hp ztek on the opponent until the whole thing breaks off, then it can finish the naked chassis quickly.

The big weakness of this robot are those few plastic popups that can be found in this pack. They have light chassis and have wedges and reasonable firepower they can pick up it up and finish it quickly (but all of them are easily shredded apart by spinners).

There were many close calls, sometimes my bot won with a single razor left, sometimes it lost due to low score because it lost all razors early.

Think you may be able to get normal zteks and maybe a DDT with it, although you may just need plastic to do it.

You should be able to put all those weapons on one snapper2. With the weight saved, I'd add armor or faster drive, depending on what popup you want to be. Wedges generally aren't needed in LW.

I thought the rule was 3 razors per snapper2?

Made some small changes, now it uses only 1 snapper2 with 3 razors, and added a wedge to have chance against other popups.



Found out to be much better than the previous one, now it was better than 29 of the starcore lightweights a defeated by only 6 in 3 round matches.

It's main weakness that it's prone to lose all it's weapons then lose by score.

If I do that then LW popups in starcore 3 will wedge me up and beat me. The previous version didn't have wedges so and it was owned by all lw popups that had wedges.

AI-ed my weird shaped middleweight bot too.



I also fixed the popup.py so it keeps firing while the opponent chassis is within the range of the razors.

Ran a mini tournament against the starcore v3 in the Combat Arena with hazards off. The result is pretty much a massacre.

It was found to be better than 48 starcore bots (92%), only worse than 4 bots, and owned only by 1 bot.

looks quite cool. thoughts:

small wedges are usually better than emergency wedges
you can shrink the chassis a bit more at the back, wheels can be outside the bot.

you can use the extra weight for another razor or 2
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

And finally my heavy weight popup got his smart zone as well and used popup.py with it.

I made some changes since the previous version of my HW:

- removed one DDT and placed 4 extra razors so now it has 12 razors and more lethal than before.
- Replaced the shiny wheels with rubber wheels.



I made a mini tournament in Combat Arena with hazards off. The results are devastating. It dominated pretty much every bot and no one could won 3 times in a row against my bot.

The 4 bot that were better than me are:

- Alien queen: it goes off balance and spin and tumble around the arena my bot got hammered into a pancake, although my bot once managed to give some good hits and managed to win.

- Express Delivery: That E shaped robot had a small middle wedge at the front which found it's way to go between my wedges, so he can knock of my wedges with his axes and then I had no chance to peel him off ground after that.

- Neglected Waterbug: This robot had simply better wedges and peeled me up with ease. My bot was lucky and won the  wedge war only once.

- Mome Rath: This one was a surprise. The surprise was that my AI controlled bot could beat it once from the 3 attempts! In one of the battles, when my bot rammed him at the beginning and managed to throw it off balance and flip it then catch its chassis exactly the right moment on the side while he was upside down, at this point his side extenders on one side came off and began tumbling without control, at this point my AI bot could score hit after hit until K.O.

Might suggest you try against Starcore V4 Alpha

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/StarcoreV4Alpha2.zip

It added a number of newer techniques like DSA and rebuilds for many bots like Alien Queen to make more stable and powerful.

Let us know how you fair against the V4 Starcore Bots

Hey look it's Starcore.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
