Well this'll be a great replacement for SCv3 as the "AI Pack newbies gotta get when starting out"

Oh hi there.
Personally I've no interest in stock but its a great thing to see a new AI pack being released for it though.
Some really cool looking bots in there too, C5 and N2 are probably my favourites.

Can I get a closer look ah the hammer in I1 and the VS in C2 (heh) please?

These all look pretty good.  I plan on downloading this.

Also, let me know if you have any ideas of names for the AI pack.
LSAI?  Shock in Stock AI?  Thunderbots AI?  Those are all I can think off.

How about just "Lightning AI"?  Kinda generic, but gets the jorb done.

KEEP THE COMPRESSOR ARENA TEXTURES!
As for the menu, you're saving the picture as auto-detect for the bitrate.
The bots: look cool.

Oh yeah.  If you're using something like Paint.net, turn auto-detect off if you want to save textures for RA2.  It does that and it's weird.

I'd keep the textures for the Compressor Ironbot Edition.  It help distinguish the two.

The bots are pretty cool, but do either of them suffer from AGOD at all?

uses a static setup to save weight and to try and make it less bouncy. it's not that good because of mediocre wedges and lack of defense; i had to put that weight toward protecting the motor

made an alternate version after realizing i've never made a true popup


this one will be for mafia. works better that the other one

Wedges are probably terribad on the VS because you're using the wrong AP on the snappers.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

rebuilding some bots from my ai pack

new version of abort retry fail hw for super secret team. 2 black batteries, 12 razors, 799.9
not very good, but still better than the old one
also breaks ro7. is this a problem or does anyone care

can someone please tell me how to make a decent mw hammer
4 plows, 3 razors, 395.4. i want to trade a couple plows for more weaponry, but the ddt can barely even handle what's there already. also the hammer arm gets ripped off the second it touches anything

HW could ditch the DDTs for Snapper2s if they're only throwing out an iron each.

As for the MW, I don't think the sample size is enough to tell how good is "decent", but there should be a couple of decent ones in other showcases. My experience with your kind of design was that it couldn't turn fast enough and it would glitch on heavy contact. I think Geice has built one that (probably) works though, so I recommend cloning his design.
Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)
