Lightshock16's Stock Showcase

[NFX]

Yup, extender setup's pretty much bang on. Could extend it sideways a bit more if you want.

Lose one of the airtanks, you don't need that much. And put shinies on it. =) Maybe swap the razors for irons, you've got twice as much HP with them.

I was told that Razor Tips are better since they're more punishing...

[Somebody]

But they fall off quicker. And also, try using 20cm extenders and lots of em, so you have more attachment points.

Look at the extender work, and the use of only a few pistons. Also the battery usage. One black battery can power 4 HP Z-Teks, so with six wheels, you need 1 black and a nifty.

[Lightshock16]

Well, I took your advice about the Batteries, adding a Nifty. I also Added 2 More wheels for more speed and control...I havent got the Weapon layout figured yet. It's proving tricky cause the Iron Spikes wont fit properly...and even the smaller Razors are having problems...this is what it currently looks like:

Rotate them so they work.

[Lightshock16]

((I've been trying, but it's not easy when it's hard to see where the tips attachs. I cant tell what end to rotate it to lols))

[Bubbleman]

Just an observation, but why dont you look at the "round" extenders more closely...

They are actually a hexagonal prism. so they must attach on one of the 6 sides. try attaching an extender without rotating it,, then try attaching another "round" extender to see where the attachment point is. if it is offset, rotate the extender so that the side the attachment point is faces forward.

That's what i do.

[Lightshock16]

Yes, That's what I was trying to do, but I still coupldnt judge it correctly. I'll have another go later. :)

[freeziez]

Get the marked extender in Sage's skin pack.

And the weapon system should look something like this:



You can use Irons instead of razors, and you should. I just didn't have enough weight left. Maybe you could swap for 4WD, put Irons on, and maybe get a Nifty in there.

[Somebody]

The general rule is either 4wd with a wedge or 6wd to be effective. Heres a tip for judging the extenders. Each time the extender turns, it turns 10 degrees. 5 clicks = 50 degrees, 9 clicks = 90 degrees, etc. Just watch closely and it gets easy after a while.

[Lightshock16]

Lol it was tricky, had to twist the Iron Spikes around a Little, but I managed to get it done, and here it is!:



Weighs in at 753Kg, and I added a Nifty, which you can see at the Back.

[Somebody]

You can attach two right next to each other (partially overlapped) easily with a bit of rotating and get double the spikes.

Battleshots pl0x?
I'm curious as to how this thing preforms

[freeziez]

Weight? Battleshots? MOAR IRONS?

[Lightshock16]

Weight? Battleshots? MOAR IRONS?

Weight I already Mentioned below: 753Kg. Battleshots I'll take care of in a bit...More Iron Spikes...Erm, not sure. I might be able to but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[Lightshock16]

Okay, I got a few battleshots. Probably not the best, but here ya go!


Lol Two Wheel's on your Wagon...It didnt last much longer, I can assure you.


Oops, there goes another one!


Oopsie! WHEEE!!!


Bye-Bye Big Dog...Oh lookie, a little Trophy that I knocked off of Backyard Ripper. MINE!!!!


The Team Name Really does say It all LOLS.

So as you can see, the main strategy Is usually to render opponent's helpless by Going for their Wheels. Either that, or break their flimsy Weapons off.

Not doing too badly, I think. Next step may be to download Starcore 1.0, take a look at some of the AI bots in there. Don't go straight for v3.0, you're not ready for it yet.

But like people say, needs more weaponry, by far. You could still shrink the chassis is you lose the nifty, and try stacking two BlackVolts by placing them almost in the same space. Kinda trial and error, but it can, and in some cases must, be done.

Okay, I'll take a look at that later. thanks :)

EDIT: Well, I did what you said and downloaded Starcore V1.0. I put New Blood against a Heavyweight called 'Tempest Eliminator'. It was actually good. I was on the Verge Of destroying his Control Board, but then some foolish driving by me sent me Straight into the Pit.



as for the Advice on the Chassis, I'll take a look in a bit.

[Somebody]

One way to cut weight could be to remove an air tank or two.

[Lightshock16]

Mmhmm...I've left New Blood alone for now, working on a different Robot...but I'm not finding much success...Lols, I Suck XDDD
