Title: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: GarvinTheGreat on May 30, 2011, 04:05:50 PM
Here are my Stock designs:
C.A.T.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52942CAT.JPG)
This is my best Stock robot ever. Its wheels are its weapons and the tail is used for stabilitiy. It basicly wheelies around with the front wheels in the  air. When it hits a robot climbs on it and smashes it with its feet.

Where to begin...
The club in the front does nothing. Remove it. You only need to blacks I think, shrink the chassis, build to the weight limit.
Also: Armour?
Moar weaponz.

The club is actually in back. When it drives it makes it so it can drive, without it it just does backward somersaults. And it does some damage occationally
Armour: It is Steel. Yes I know its should be DSA, but when I made it I didnt know what DSA was.

There are MWs with more weaponary, Enigma's advice should help you get more weapons on.

Belive me, the bot looks crappy but it is pretty tough. When the arms get flailing they cause alot of damage. And its AWD!

Switch to Double strength aluminium.
(which is ignoring the armour tab in it's entirety)

Don't be such a hypocrite.

Anyway, defiantely rebuild it with Enigmas advice, and ofcource DSA.
Also, you may aswell get rid of the maces and extenders, and just use irons instead here, as the extra length will come in handy here.
Could also do with frontal protection, a snowplow for example.

Use the side attachment points of the disc and extenders to put extra maces as support,then usethe eFFe glitch to put some more on the other side attachment point, and add more maces. Or irons. Or MOAR RAZORS.

A list of everything wrong with the bot:
1. Underwight
2. Normal Z-teks
3. Exposed motors
4. No strimech/not invertible
5. N-12 wheels
6. Saw blades
7. Angle connectors
8. Not enough razors

I hope you used DSA...

True, but I think it's mostly down to how time consuming stock is compared, with all the snapper loading sometimes taking a very long time, then you have stacking blacks which can also take a very long time. DSL is much faster to produce bots with simply because those particular techniques are outlawed in most cases.

overpowered, you only need a nifty for 2 spin motors and put the wedges on snappers if you dont want to get raped by other wedges, also lower chassis height so you can get shiny hubs

still better than D.O.G. though
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: NFX on April 26, 2012, 03:54:13 PM
Few things can be improved with this. You could swap for Shiny Hubs, which would save a lot of weight, and remove the wedges (static wedged are poor at best) and pinks to save more weight. Shrink the chassis up and add more weapons. Preferably a second rack beneath the top one. T connectors are fine here, a 20cm won't allow you to align the rest of them properly.
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: GarvinTheGreat on April 26, 2012, 03:55:43 PM
There are two racks...

and if i use shinys, wont it make me uninvertible
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: NFX on April 26, 2012, 04:07:24 PM
That jsut means you should lower the chassis. If you keep a close eye on the height slider, it needs to be five "clicks" tall for HPZ's to fit exactly. That'll make it invertible, and give you the room for both racks, then you could extend the weapon racks further outwards, make them wider to prevent being flanked.
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: Mr. AS on April 26, 2012, 04:11:07 PM
if you can put a ztek in but not a green snapper2 vertically, you have achieved minimum height

Excluding flippers. Everyone seems to be abusing that rule (including me :gawe:), but I'm pretty sure a rammer could do well. Although I'm not certain spamming weapons would be a good idea, it's sort of abusing the mechanics of the game a fair bit.

What was I thinking, building a rammer, I don't build those. Went with someting more my style.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57401StraightJacket.jpg)

It's not very combat effective (still not sure if I want this for RWS8 or if I should try a hammer) It as Steel amrour. The reason I have about 100 pounds (thats right peeps, the metric system is for nerds  :p) is because after I finished it I had about a 100 pounds of space left. I couldn't think of anything useful for it so I went crazy. I guess it adds to the Realism factor though.

Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: NFX on April 26, 2012, 06:21:44 PM
If you do decide to add an iron spike on the front, make sure it doesn't prevent robots getting onto the flippers. If you take a look through my showcase for the first version of Iron Oxide, that might be the way you'd want to go about adding an iron on the front. Just to stop them going straight over the top.

angle the iron upwards (use a 45o ba) and see if that helps, if not then try a 65o one, if you still can't, then you'll probably need to rebuild the chassis

also swap the grannies for rubbers
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: NFX on April 27, 2012, 03:15:53 AM
The Control Board can be stacked into the Blackvolt. It's a pretty difficult stack to pull off, it requires a steady hand and a lot of patience, but it is doable, and perfectly within the rules for RWS8, IIRC.

Post by: GarvinTheGreat on April 27, 2012, 03:27:11 PM

Entry for RWS8. Regretting it now. It is very small and battery life is very low. However, it did suprise me in its Sumo match, especialy going up against EMERGENCY, which was 3x its size.

No. Did you see it in its Sumo match? Its very small. It lasted MUCH longer than I expected.I can't belive I'm saying this but... I think the reason it lasted so long is because of the AI driving skills.

It looks nice but you have little weaponry for a MW VS. If you downgraded to one motor and the smallest disc you should be able to get 4 irons and a plow.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95397stock popup.jpg)

First attempt at a popup. 16 irons, which may be a bit much...?

Had no clue what to do with the extra weight.
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: Mr. AS on June 29, 2012, 02:21:34 PM
make the chassis sloped, nothing is going to get up where the irons are going to hit it atm,
and for that matter switch to razors because they have 1 piercing and irons have 0.1 concussion and 0.8 peircing, so razors do more damage to the chassis
and if you want to get it up to 800 you might want to add more drive and ddt motors with razors
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: GarvinTheGreat on June 29, 2012, 02:56:40 PM
Added another set of drive, razors, and another ddt.

Still extra weight

Post by: NFX on June 29, 2012, 03:01:58 PM
Try sticking some ramplates on the front for some protection against HS. You ideally want a pair of ramplates over the side edges of the chassis, as HS hit those most often. You should be able to get 4 on with the weight you have left.
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: Mr. AS on June 29, 2012, 03:03:41 PM
its ok but right now your opponents can have up to ~115 kg worth of more armor/weaponry than you, add some more armor (45 degree baseplate anchor ---> ramplate) so it doesnt get raped by hs, put the black between 2 of the zteks and move the s2's next to the ddts so it is wider and combats hs even more efficiently

and is it 1 black batt or 2 stacked ones ?

make it less steep and try and fit another black in somehow, probably with less razors
Title: Re: GarvintheGreat's Stock Showase!
Post by: Mr. AS on June 29, 2012, 03:28:34 PM
1 black wont last long, or even fully power the bot for that manner, it might get 2 or 3 fires before it stops firing, free up some weight (try reducing the chassis) and stack the blacks in, 2 blacks should do well

and even 8 razors will ko a bot in a few hits so around 12 razors should be a good offence, you dont need 20 like r4

Actually, the angle is pretty much perfect. Although he really needs a second black in there, one black is underpowering it by more than half. Stacking them together is pretty simple, you just need a steady hand if you're using a touchpad (like me), you could afford to lose four razors and the extenders holding them on to get that second black.

--> Make sure you're using the highest resolution.
--> Get a perfectly flat bird's-eye view on the chassis. It shouldn't look off-centre up, down, left, or right.
--> Go to either the Overview or the Chassis tab and zoom in all the way.
--> Switch to Components and attach the second battery. Make sure that the zoom doesn't change until after you attach it.

Rotate them so that the maces hit at the same time. You'll notice that the majority of 1WD LW HS, i.e. S_M's and mine, have an HPZ weapon motor and a RAD attached to a SnapperII. This sacrifices mobility, but allows for faster weaponry, a more compact setup, and a smaller chassis, leaving more weight for defense and attack.

Sure. There's no internal shot, but you just need some Snapper practice and spatial awareness. Dark Void 2 in Dominator of Dragons is another example, if you want some contrasting designs for this sort of thing.

If you Snapper Load the motors onto a SnapperII, rather than just attaching them straight to the baseplate, then that allows you to spend much less weight on the chassis, and leaves you more weight to add either weaponry or defenses. You would never be able to make a 36HS if everything was attached to the baseplate.
