Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on May 10, 2009, 02:40:36 PM: So after my DSL tragically died, I decided it would be a good time to try out Starcore. Here's my *decent* HS: Talon

The Supervolts are stacked and the armor is DSL. What do you think?

Post by: Sage on May 10, 2009, 02:42:22 PM: would benefit from a longer wedge and a plow in front. and stronger drive.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Somebody on May 10, 2009, 03:13:00 PM: Sorry about your DSL. Good bot though.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Naryar on May 10, 2009, 03:24:26 PM: Definitely get HPZ drive on that.

Also you failed as well on the weapon setup because the extenders aren't much protected. You'd be much better with 2 maces set up like my Corona, or 2 irons set up like Reaper.

Other than that, it is decent.

Post by: infiniteinertia on May 10, 2009, 03:37:50 PM: Decent for a beginner. Which is saying a lot.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: roboman2444 on May 10, 2009, 03:54:05 PM: pretty good for a beginner but get hpzs and a plow on it.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on May 10, 2009, 03:58:17 PM: Is this better?

I killed Maelstrom with it... barely.

Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Naryar on May 10, 2009, 04:00:31 PM: Yup.

Pretty sure you can be invertible with shinies and add a plow though.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: roboman2444 on May 10, 2009, 04:02:24 PM: yes it is better
Try using maces, both of them on the same "arm" will hit at the same time
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on May 10, 2009, 04:34:13 PM: I can't figure out how to overlap the maces. Also, is this normal?

WTF? Are HS this frigging powerful?
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: infiniteinertia on May 10, 2009, 09:45:08 PM: Yes.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Sage on May 10, 2009, 10:07:32 PM: HS pwn.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: System32 on May 11, 2009, 01:58:41 AM: Most bots are when done right, Condor.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on May 14, 2009, 06:13:41 AM: A new bot: Generic Popup
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/seamour2/screenshot_24-2.jpg)
When it gets under people, they're dead, but unfortunatley the wedge sucks. Any suggestions?
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Pwnator on May 14, 2009, 06:28:01 AM: Try using the middle DDT for the wedge. :D
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Weirdo on May 14, 2009, 06:54:55 AM: Try angleing it a little lower aswell if it doesn't get under anything.

=P
Not a bad bot ya got there C33, but Pwnator is right.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: infiniteinertia on May 14, 2009, 05:11:32 PM: Rupt Popup? try it.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 19, 2009, 08:43:19 PM: I'm out of ideas DSL-wise, so I'm going to try and do some more Stock. Here's the MW version of Talon
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/seamour2/screenshot_1-3.jpg)
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/seamour2/screenshot-3.jpg)
I don't think the weapon is done quite right though.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Sage on July 19, 2009, 08:54:45 PM: I've always hated green snappers for setups. For one, it makes the chassis higher (and much higher if you're using a black batt instead of a nifty). Plus, they only have one AP. And are heavy.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 19, 2009, 09:29:01 PM: You really need the blue snapper, it has 2 AP and weights 13 kgs. But the burst is so weak it is only good for stacking purposes.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 01:57:10 PM: I rebuilt it with blue snappers, but now it can't kill anything. I replaced the weapons with the double-razor arrangement I'm seeing all the time, but that didn't help. What should I do?

Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: System32 on July 20, 2009, 01:59:00 PM: Upgrade to grannies, you have teh weight.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: 40757 on July 20, 2009, 02:11:21 PM: ^ No

Downgrade drive and upgrade weaponry.

V No
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: doomaster543 on July 20, 2009, 02:12:04 PM: put the drive motors directly on the snappers theyll be faster that way
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 02:13:50 PM: dm, no.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 02:58:05 PM: Quote from: 40757;53187

Downgrade drive and upgrade weaponry.

So switch to normal Ztecs and use iron spikes? I'll get on that.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 02:58:53 PM: And flip the axles so that they're inside the chassis.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 03:01:27 PM: Then I'll turn impossibly slow, though!
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: 40757 on July 20, 2009, 03:03:26 PM: then snapper load them and delete the extenders connecting the weapon motors. then flip the weapon motors inside the chassis and then u might have enough weight to keep the HP Z-Teks.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 03:07:49 PM: No, no. Like this:

I was just talking about the weapons!
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 03:10:38 PM: Woah, hold on a second. You want me to delete my weapons, snapper load a new set onto the bursts (I have no idea at all how to do that), put the weapons inside the chassis, and don't move the drive motors? No offense but that will make the bot really unstable and continually ride on the weapon tips.

EDIT: Never mind, going with Reier's instructions. Didn't understand at first.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 03:11:21 PM: Let me get a pic up.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 03:12:39 PM: It's fine, I understand now.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 03:21:34 PM: Ok.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 04:13:38 PM: LOL 10X Post of Assistance

I tried this, but it got even worse...

Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 04:18:18 PM: Do it like this... =P

Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 04:19:33 PM: D'oh!
So put the spinners on the outside of the snappers and the drive on the inside?
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Reier on July 20, 2009, 04:24:46 PM: IDK about the spinners, but drive on the inside & a plow would be nice.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 20, 2009, 04:55:17 PM: Dunno where I'll get the weight for that without effeing the weapons or something like that, but I'll try.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: infiniteinertia on July 20, 2009, 10:31:40 PM: the third one looks good, just why would you attach drive like that?
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Sage on July 21, 2009, 01:13:15 AM: I think i need to make a better snapper loading vid.
Title: Condor33's attempts at stock
Post by: Condor33 on July 21, 2009, 08:39:54 AM: I rebuilt it again (fifth time now) with mace effeing and normal ztec drive. Unfortunately, Photobucket is down right now so I can't post a picture. Managed to pretty easily kill Intruder Alert with it though.

Post by: Pwnator on July 21, 2009, 08:40:50 AM: Use the GTM uploader. XD
