Horror's showcase

[Noodle]

Horror, if you wanna keep progressing as a builder just ignore the bickering and random off-topic chit-chat for now.

Here are some sources of information you can count on when it comes to Stock building.

Beetlebros - This is basically effective bot building 101.

Sage's Tutorials - This is a set of five video tutorials that will help you monumentally.
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4512.0.html

Starcore AI - This is an AI pack that replaces the original AI opponents with far more difficult ones.  It may be a bit overwhelming to fight them at first, but you can draw some great information from the designs.

Also, anything either Sage or Clickbeetle says is advice you can count on.

Agreed. all the people on here do not get along they will not all post helpful things but all the whole this a great community that will both test you and teach you. most people have the DSL total convertion pack for the game now but stock is a GREAT place to start. if you do get SC v3 dont hate yourself for not beating it right way. i have it and STILL cant beat most bot in it ( though i suck at stock) and iv been around more or less for a long time. for now take a look at the sites listed above and check other peoples showcases. and dont give up it gets better!!!!lol

This is Destroy-A-Bot 3.2. All of the information you need is in the picture. AND I cropped it this time.

If you trimmed the chassis down and reduced the number of batteries (Also using DSA), that could easily be a lightweight. The invertability was a nice idea though, but that can be done through using Shinies.

[NFX]

It's an improvement. Again, a few pointers to take note of, probably.

Pink batteries are almost never used on anything bigger than an AW (125kg and under). LW's tend to use Nifty batteries, and Middle and Heavyweight bots almost always use Supervolts. Also, one Supervolt is enough to power 4 HP Z-Tek Motors for 3 minutes, so you really only need one here.

The almost universal armour of choice is DSA, which you can get by ignoring the Armor tab completely. It's the same weight as aluminium, but is stronger than steel. The only alternative is Plastic if you want to keep weight down on a LW.

It's good that you've "burst enhanced" the weapon motor, which is a glitch that causes motors to spin faster than normal when placed on a burst motor. However, the extender work could be improved by attaching the extender to the side of the motor, rather than the back.

Just a few quick things to get going, maybe upgrady the drive to HP Z-Teks as well. Not terribly bad for a second bot, though.

Invertibility? Wha- oh. I did not notice that!!!!

??? Again, I did not know you could 'Burst Enhance' a motor. A put it there as i could move it and put batteries there.

You can't take a random kid and tell him to get SCv3! When you do get starcore AI, get v1 first. But practice on the stock AI for a little while too.

If he gets starcore, he will see the way to get better, he can't with stock AI

[NFX]

The first thing he wants to do is try and beat EMERGENCY. Then move onto Starcore v1.0. Don't throw yourself in at the deep end, unless you're RedAce.

I did

And I'm sure he's beaten EMERGENCY by now

[Naryar]

It's so flat for a stock bot :O

[Stagfish]

I got starcaor V3 as soon as I got here, it helped me make better bots.


Although I havnt used stock for a long time and I now suck at it.

[Naryar]

excuse me wtf is starcaor

[FOTEPX]
