Okay, so I went back to Stock yesterday night, and decided on the most unoriginal idea ever. Remake Stealth Destroyer, as a stock bot.
So, here's Shock Destroyer.
It's called that, cos, well, it sounds remotely like the original, and shock sounds like stock. Yeah, running out of ideas. :P

Steel armour.
-
stick with DSA (the default armor) and too many batteries in there..
i'll let others chip inon what else is wrong.
-
I thought, seem as though I wouldn't make the middleweight bracket with it, I would just put more batteries in (just in case) and make the armour better, but yeah XD
-
That's not bad for a first showcased stock robot, and definitely the first chained VS i have seen.
-2 black batteries are enough for this.
-Don't use square extenders.
-Sledgehammers suck in stock. Prefer irons or maces to this.
Also check this: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
-
steel isn't better then the default armor. oh and use round extenders.
-
You have the idea, it just needs to be remade. Some things however:
No steel
Use round extenders
You need only two blacks
Keep the snapper wedges
use Irons, longer reach, and one third of the weight
-
You have the basic Idea, But I doubt all these guys posting the same thing over and over will help. Let's see:
1) Your disk is to large. Skrink it, then add Irons instead of those silly 30 KG Sledgehammers. The general idea is that weapons weighing over 14 KG are used for Armour, instead of Sledgehammers because they are too heavy.
2) Make the chassis smaller. You'll be able to add more stuff.
3) Are those burst motors active? If not, remove those pinks and a black battery. 4 High Powered Z teks can be easily be powered by a black.
4) Add another chained weapon on the other side, make it symmetrical.
5) Use Black/Red extenders. then you get more weight.
6) Use DSA. It stands for Double strengh aluminium. To get it, Don't click any armour when you make a new bot.
7) Download a harder AI pack. Your bots CAN beat stock, but you'll need to improve. I reccomend UBERMOD 1 and 2, to get the basics of bot design. Then DL the starcore packs v1 and v2, then PSY AI pack, then Starcore v3 and v4.
-
But I doubt all these guys posting the same thing over and over will help.
That is EXACTLY what are you doing.
And Craaig, browse the stock showcases for more ideas, and get SCv1, then 2, then 3, then the PYS AI pack (better than SCv3), then Scv4 Alpha.
-
'Kay, thanks guys (:
EDIT: Just to let you know, my version of Stock severely messed up for no apparent reason. Oh well, back to DSL then XD
-
That is EXACTLY what are you doing.
You werecopying and pasting. I was still doing it, but being more helpful. it helps avoid flamewars. Am I right, Click?
-
You werecopying and pasting.
Nope.
-
Okay, huge bump and a bad bot. But never mind.
I know theres too much open space and the weapons aren't great, but this is the first successful effe-ing I've ever done, lol, and was done more to learn effeing than anything really.
Grenom (like, green venom. lol)
DSA

congrats on learning to eFFe now perhaps snapper loading next? and you have something with potential growing there
-
now perhaps snapper loading next?
Yeah, I might try that :D
-
find a topic that Sage has posted in and use the links in his signature :-D
-
Why the heck are you showcasing a bot if you know it is bad?
-
Neh, I was just happy I could eFFe. Took me a while to get it right >.<
-
find a topic that Sage has posted in and use the links in his signature :-D
YO
-
your huge boxy chassis' make me wanna scream
-
I don't see any eFFe glitching...
-
I think he did. Maybe he wants to line up the collision meshes.
-
epic bump. just started building in stock again, really.
Firstly, RAW2. My bot is MK Ultra. Here it is.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42518MK%20ULTRA.png)
Weight is a few kg off being a HW, while it's powered by a supervolt and 1 pink while having HPZ's for power and the central weapon motor. Was too lazy to get insides XD just nabbed that link from the secret link on page 30 of the RAW thread. XD
Lastly, I'm having trouble with stock AW, but I thought this was proper good (note the sarcasm)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7510LRA2.jpg)
See if you can guess what event this commemorates ;D
-
from last rambunctious associate 2 banned
-
Not many people know this, but a chassis of roughly 2 boxes wide and 5 boxes long can fit a nifty and 2 RAD's. Shrink it enough and you get a nifty, 2 RADs and 2 irons.

Lemme guess,CBS1?
-
I did like the look of MK Ultra, it may not be as good as the normal HS (like the many fury clones) but its something a little different :-D
speaking of which I should post up the other half of the team
-
Mega Bump
Not all as efficient as it maybe could be... but...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44392HCl.jpg)
I've never seen a Complex FS :P
-
change the wheels to grannies and make the wedges longer and higher up a little
-
I've never seen a Complex FS :P
you know as I was looking down the splash I was thinking that exact phrase :P
you should have got a move on and submitted this for last months BOTM XD
-
It remembers me of my complex crawler i did a while back for Venko's A.D.D.I.C.T. contest.
Also it's underpowered as heck.
-
Also it's underpowered as heck.
I just noticed that D:
Tribars are a lot more weight efficient then large discs (the ones your using to spin the other Z-Teks)
-

I just noticed that D:
Tribars are a lot more weight efficient then large discs (the ones your using to spin the other Z-Teks)
But if I used tribars, I'd have to put more motors on (theres only 2 on each disc) and I don't wanna end up using fail motors.
And I thought it may have been underpowered, but I wasn't sure. Weight problems, though.
And it was first intended as a BOTM entry... but I couldn't get it as good as I did here and I fail at candy :P
Finally, with the tilt the chassis has to be on, I can't use grannies/shinies, they're too small.
-
Just use a T connector instead of a disc. You'll have a smaller weapon radius and a lighter setup. Spend the weight on armor or more weapons.
-
I've never seen a Complex FS :P
There's a good reason for that. It's called AGOD. How did you get around it for this bot? Just pause every time you load it?
-

I sure did, I'm a patient enough person to do that :P
Bot is fun to use though (when I use stock - rarely) so, it's hardly too much work :D
-
Meh, seem as though Thyrus' glitch seems to be outlawed already, I have no problems posting up this piece'o'crap XD
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4916Crabstix.png)
-
hehe :D
I like the look of it.
-
I like it.
(I should do a tourney using this glitch after TTT)
-
Yay! Craaig appears to be excited about entering BOTM. ;)
-
Meh. Can't enter, apparently the glitch I used is already outlawed :P
-
Meh. Can't enter, apparently the glitch I used is already outlawed :P
I knoooooooow thaaaat. But you got plenty of time to make another bot! :3
Heck, if you do another crab, everyone will know it is you. There are plenty of other sea creatures that you can use as a theme.
Like... a sea cucumber-bot!
do it do it do it.
-
I like it.
(I should do a tourney using this glitch after TTT)
YES! IT would be an insane amount of fun trying to put it together...
-
Like... a sea cucumber-bot!

How decidedly tempting... :P nah I actually stole the theme for Crabstix from Scrapadon which I entered in a different BOTM a while back :P
I will try and enter, but all my plans are gone pretty much. Shouldn't have shown you guys that bot regardless so I could use the crab splash XD
-
Meh. Can't enter, apparently the glitch I used is already outlawed :P
WRONG!
#3 - normal building with all gliches allowed (no AAM or BFE type stuff)

Bot File editing and Advanced Attachment methods are not the same as eFFe-ing the chassis.
-
Its not really effeing the chassis though is it? I was just going by what people said in the glitch thread whether I could use it or not. Meh.
-
But you're using a custom component S-32.
-
Not even remotely Bot file editing, And the component Is removed afterwards, to boot.
I say it's illegal for Tournaments, but if you doing it for the lulz and possibly BOTM, it's fair game...
-
oh dear gawd help me i can't build in stock for sh**.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90756nooo.jpg)
-
lol I was sure your better then that
look at NWB style robots for ideas on a good layout first ;)
-
Move batteries back and use only one black, then but some armour on an anchor at the front.
-
I've never even made a juggler before JB, that could be why it's so awful. And I'll try those things out thanks :)
-
A pink on a HW ? A GODDAMN PINK ON A HW ? FROM CRAAIG ?
-
They're the only batteries I can stack :3
-
A pink on a HW ? A GODDAMN PINK ON A HW ?
*ahemSeism13ahem*
-
A pink on a HW ? A GODDAMN PINK ON A HW ?
*ahemSeism13ahem*
WHAT ? Are you telling me Seism 13 has pinks ?
Bah, pinks are fine as long as they are acting as ballasts and you really have no more weight.
Pinks COUNTERBALANCING THE WEDGE, HOWEVER....
-
Heh, didn't see it like that. I know nothing about wedges, thought you knew that ;)
-
Heh, didn't see it like that. I know nothing about wedges, thought you knew that ;)
What ?! You lurked enough in the wedgefag showcases, no ?
-
actually I think I may have unlocked a little secret with Pinks.. I am meaning to investigate it more but it produced some epic, epic results ;)
-
Is this the firecracker one?
-
I have lots of unshown stock prototypes ;)
-
They don't operate as extenders for something, do they?
-
Heh, didn't see it like that. I know nothing about wedges, thought you knew that ;)
What ?! You lurked enough in the wedgefag showcases, no ?
I refuse to acknowledge the existence of wedges unless I have to build one, I think they're lame :3
But yeah. Maybe it's time I worked a little on them. And stock in general.
-
Heh, didn't see it like that. I know nothing about wedges, thought you knew that ;)
He's wedgeophobic. xD
-
Oh what joy. Behold the awful.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37542snappy.jpg)
-
Do the spinnas bounce at all?
Its still your style. xD
-
Yeah, Craaigy VSes rarely work in stock (AFAIK the only good ones I can remember as of now are Relic and... that's about it). XD
-

Now he's gonna make one that works. Or flee to DSL forever. :P
-
Meh, I don't care that they're not effective. Take pathetic pop-ups and stupid 36hs outta the equation and it seems to do fine. I think it looks sexy anyway. ;p
-
Whoops. I forgot about R0B0's VSes. XD
I should probably try my own stock HW Craaigy VS. XD
-
Needs to be a stock tourney which bans 24+HS and Popups. :P
-
Um, hi, I think.
I spent lots of time on this.
I am not skilled Stock man.
(http://i.gyazo.com/0943ac0fe79586e83b445cb1d1bcd42a.png)
-
bumping old stock showcases is the new thing it seems
-
I would flip the RADS around but other than that its 's pretty solid.
-
The wedge is horrific though, doesn't even get under Emergency. Still, might enter it just because.
-
You can also use a rectangle chassis by putting the drive on the back of the snappers instead of using anchors (but you would have to snapper load). Then you can temporarily move the start position for the snappers so the weapons and stuff are out of the way and scoot the black forward.
I do like it, though. Gives me an idea for a heavyweight.
-
rad
looks decent to me (read: to the untrained eye :dumb) )
-
Already given my advice on skype :P
Yeah I'd flip the RADs, and the wedges probably suck because everything, including the weapon motors, are on them
-
The weapon motors are baseplate mounted :P
It's only the wedges and the plows on the snapper
-
oh wat
THAT'S WHY WE GOT CONFUSED ABOUT THE RADS
-
Well your picture with the rads in makes more sense now. :L
-
I am not good at Stock.
DSA, 2 pinks, 172.1
(https://i.gyazo.com/5c6f1430a6ce8840d33b1423b5c9039f.png)
-
Is this for what I think it's for? :P
It's not bad, but it will run out of power pretty quickly, which is my biggest concern about performance. Maybe you can get a nifty in there by making a new chassis? I dunno, it could do well.
-
You might wanna look at putting the ztek in the chassis and stacking the cb.
-
Attempted to do both fixes.
174.5kg, DSA. CB is just sat under the RADs seem as though there was enough space. Don't really like it much, it's probably even worse.
(https://i.gyazo.com/56c2d75a62de6511ce955cc497afade4.png)
-
Make the chassis more square and have the battery and part of the motor between the drive motors?
-
Like this?
DSA again, 171.7kg including the currently unattached CB (stackz take 2 long :P)
(https://i.gyazo.com/1d32881e0e1bec88873d20b53e154ad7.png)
-
Yeah, with that you can get bear claws instead of razors.
-
Ah, that makes sense.
In that case...
DSA, 174.7
I will never have patience for stacking so I just axle loaded the ztek then put another CB there before removing the old one and putting the nifty down.

Rules said crawlers are okay. Is this good? Nifty/RADs.
-
See if you can out-gay SM
-
Well he wins on the weapon HP side of things.
100% respect for BW crawlers.
-
Rules said crawlers are okay. Is this good? Nifty/RADs.
Depends. Does it work?
-
It's prob gonna sux since the discs will just fall off right away
-
it's a crawler 0/10
