I have Starcore 3.0 and BeetleBros.

I have Starcore 3.0 and BeetleBros.
it is called FireBeetle's Component pack, and... where are the CO2 tanks:???:FB's pack does not has a Mini Version of them... the closest things i can think are ColdFusion Reactor Exhaust Catchers or AnarQ5099 MiniCO2 tanks...
Try to change the Start Angle of The Hammer motor to 150ยบ... this will also use the Ham' as a Srimech... also, the Neutron Star piece allows LOTS of weight... try to put Steel Armor (Ignore this if you are using Double Strength Alu) and change the round extenders to that Blue square Extenders. they are stronger.
this will make the bot heavier, but the rocket wheels have ALOT of grip, so you will not have a major speed reduction at all.
-
Ok...Thx for idea...I'll try it...Finnaly someone is alive on this site :D
-
Seems ok. Although I don't like the usage of 'cheat' parts. Although If you're using it for fun, No harm done ;)
-
SHW vs HW... not fair.
Actually these three bots are not very difficult for a good HW.

lmao. check the last posts date before your post.

I checked it, dude. And stop telling people how to post.
-
Yeah RA2lover, just leave people that bump alone. You are the one posting for no reason telling people that they posted for no reason.
-
Thanks for your help Scrap Daddy.
And, and at least RA2lover made me discover what is a bump. I was always wondering that this meant. Thanks RA2lover too :D
-
I finnaly reinstalled the game again and made a robot called Chosen Destructor :) Hope you gonna like it.It owns every default robot.
I used 2 drill bit's on one burst piston.
Two external Airtanks and three external batteries for design and in back one deodorant flamethrower.
For wheels speed I used two Z-Tek Motor (AU)
Mini Anarchy5099's CO2tank.
Thin Forks from Darkpack1.
And two ram plates.
HW-780.6

Original flipper-spear design, and he's cool looking.
That chassis could be way more compact. It's not very difficult to build a bot who owns all default bots (the plain old HW VS I posted in my showcase already does that, as the MW)
...But with cheat parts, it's pointless. They're fun, but unbalanced. So try to build a pure stock bot that owns all stock bots, then go Starcore with it.
-
Cheat parts? BOOOO!!!!
-
Yep. Besides, it's pointless to post this here because you won't gain any respect for that.
And for your information it's NOT stock.
-
Hey all again.I wanted to say that I was stoopid puting these bots in stock and not in DSL showcase. Anyway I come here again with some new stock bots and I will start with my favorite HW: Advanced Lag.
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6870/advancedlagji3.th.jpg) (http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=advancedlagji3.jpg)
For SlipperBottom wheels I used Red Bird Spin Motor.
Two burst pistons 100m with Iron Spike.
Supervold 12V Battery.
One CO2 Tank.
And the rest for design and armor also.
Here is inside lookin'

guess that bot is just for looks...

Nope.I'll post some battleshots right away.I must tell u that it's not a speedy bot,it's kinda really slow.But it has a positive thing that the burst pistons are low and they hit every's bot wheel making it a winner.
P.S I know I'm just a newb but I keep learning so...

I must admit that it doesn't beat EMERGENCY.
-
well the aesthetics are kinda cool.
starcore3 is nice to study from.
-
This reminds me of RoAcH in S3. Potentially a killer design and cool looking.
But if you want to make it better:
-Don't use redbirds for this (they suck especially for a heavyweight drive). Use HP Z-teks in this case or even 4WD HP Z-tek if you want to make some ramming.
-Do some round extender work rather than all these grey connectors, way lighter, there's perhaps 30kg wasted on grey connectors.
-Put more weapons on the front of you bot. Again with extender work. You have weight to work with.
-This chassis could be lighter.
-The battery setup is sufficient. But use a big air tank (warning, this thing is huge) or 2-3 air tanks, because here you haven't got a lot of CO2 to power your weapons.
As Inf said, get Starcore. I would recommend the v1.0. (ask Sage for the shock, he went directly from stock to S3) Look at the bots in there, it is decent building and learn from it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try it.I should make a bigger chassis for this.And I'll install Starcore. I have all the packs but reinstalled RA2 to make some stock stuff. :)
-
No problem.
Beware the bigger chassis... don't overdo it, that is try to have no empty space, as empty space is weight lost.
Ah, I forget a thing: put some more weapons on your pistons. Something like the DSL piston bots (Poison Stinger & Eye Stabber). This will seriously increase damage.
-
I agree with everything that Naryar said. Also, With the weight left over, it would be pretty easy to stick at least 10 more spikes on, while only gaining 132 kg's. You have the weight. Also, if you were to upgrade to more than 2 HPZ-Teks, you would need more batteries.
-
Am I the only person who didn't go into shock when going from stock to Starcore 3?
-
Ok. Here it is the new version.
(http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/5995/advancedlagv11xf0.th.jpg) (http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=advancedlagv11xf0.jpg)
I've put Nifty 6V Battery instead the SuperVolt V12 Battery so that I got a little space for the Z-tek Motors with Buzzard wheels.
Deleted the middle burst piston and instead of him I put two CO2 Airtanks.
Anyway I've put another piston of 60M upper CO2 Airtanks with one 40M square extender and two weapons.
And I also deleted the sides extenders.
So in finnaly I won -53KG! A speedy robot. And more effective in battle.
Thank you Naryar :)
Here are some battleshots winning:

If anyone has new ideas or I didn't do something good on this one pls tell me!

Well... fight at least Starcore middleweights because TF is two times lighter as your bot.
A beetleweight (175kg) has no chance against this, too.
-You can fit it shiny hubs (less weight)
-Use HP Z-Teks, no normal Zteks (HP Z-teks are twice as more powerful as normal Z-Teks for only 20% weight more) and stick to the Supervolt.
-Build to the 800kg limit (all the Starcore heavyweights are near 800kg)
-More, more, more frontal weapons (defense and offense at the same time)
-I dont think that chassis shape is really efficient.
-Get used to round extenders especially the side attachment points. With sufficient experience on the topic you can win more than 20kg.
-These external pistons look EXTREMELY vulnerable to a hammer.
The gold rule in RA2 bot building is "save weight". That often applies to real bot building too (but in that case there's also money).
Have a look at http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com. I learned much there, as a good part of us.
-
...you fought a beetleweight and a lightweight and thought it was impressive?
-
Infiniteinertia just shutup with ur replyes cause u make no sense.
U are just a newb who likes to says bad things and stuff like that.
You don't know to help ppl or do good stuff as I see.
If u were a newb at a game and went to forums and upload your game thing u've done and someone says: HaHa this is bullsh** or This is not that good or mine is cooler instead of giving u some advices like Naryar does?
No u just like to be bad.
Anyway I'm building a new bot right now Naryar and I'm gonna put it here.Hope this one will be more nice than first one. :)
P.S Sorry for saying that InfiniteInertia but u pissed me.
-
yeah, your REAL good.
and im leagues more experienced than Naryar.
so shut it, or hit the exits.
-
Well... he just doesn't know the meaning of the word "diplomacy".
But he isn't wrong; actually fighting a beetleweight with something three times heavier is nothing impressive.
You should try at least middleweights, and then heavyweights when you'll really build well.
I won't be here for more than a month, so you could actually look at other people's showcases. And the BeetleBros tutorial, really very useful (yea i'm repeating but it's really important).
EDIT: Inf, you may have more experience than me but shut up. All I see there is an angry kid venting frustration somewhere.
-
NARY, if you knew what you were talking about half the time i'd say okay whatever, but you dont.
-
Oh well.
Prove me so, wise-guy.
-
YES! finally a real flame war. LOVE IT!
-
To the flame wars topic!
-
I love it how random people just take offence to everything Inf says. He's just blunt...
...and right most of the time...
-
Now, back to the topic at hand....
-
Buiding: Harry, keep going on your bot building, it looks like your learning quickly. There are many you can learn from so listen up...
Weight Class: And as pointed out by Nar. and Inf., you'll want to battle AI bots at least the same weight class as your bot, and ideally heavier. This is conjecture but I would guess that about 80% of my good MW's will beat almost all AI HW's. And I also have 1 or 2 LW's that can beat a few AI HW's. Anyway you get the idea....
-
its not even worth fighting about, building obviously reflects skill and knowledge, and i think we both know that result.
-
*Flame War Diverted*

I agree with everything that Naryar said, and also, I see about 3 different places at least where the control board can go. Try to make the chassis lower. If you can count very carefully, count up five pixels from the lowest that you can make the chassis. This is the minimum that the HP Z-Teks will fit into the chassis. Just put the shinies on, and it will be invertible (unless there are still pistons at the top). More air power might help, and, what does the bot have for armor.
