Can you make it so we won't have to open it up in a new window?
Can we have the insides of the robot?
-
Post an inside shot.
-
2 Blacks, DDT, four redbirds IMO.

Probably.

what
-
Building techniques.
-
oh.
-
You can also do some good by looking at other showcases.
Also, you should download this:
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/AI_Packs/Starcore/StarcoreAIPackV1.0.zip (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/AI_Packs/Starcore/StarcoreAIPackV1.0.zip)
Starcore V1, V3 is to advanced for you.
-
ok.
-
reading all the guides on the beetle bro's website will give you the how to for every aspect of RA2 bot building.
-
i made a new bot this is monster truck he has steel armor.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83714screenshot_1.bmp)
-
I did not read the thread so i do not know if someone already told you or not but do not choose any armor at all, after you make the chassis do not even click on the armor button. To much extra space, Do not use the car style turning motors(cant even remember what there called), Saws suck. Ill let someone else finish.
-
You seriously do need to look at that beetlebros site and other showcases. Your bot building skills will get a LOT better, cos I have to honestly say that that is not a good bot.
-
what are you talking about with the armor??
-
DSA. To get it, ignore the armor tap. Lighter than steel, but MUCH stronger.
-
Its a glitch where you don't click on the armour tab and you automatically get whats called DSA; Double Strength Aluminium. Its twice as strong as normal aluminium but the same weight. You can test to see if you have it by painting you robot black, if the black doesn't shine, you have it. BUT, if you've already applied armour to your bot, you can't get it, you have to start over.
-
Three people telling the same stuff makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Panda.
I doubt he is Starcore level, or LRA2 level right now.
Listen: Download the RFS AI, then when you can beat them, get starcore 1.
Everyone else: I know he could Download Starcore straight away, but look at this guys bots! He needs to be eased into the fire, not burnt after his first post.
-
Here's another pretty general tip: build to the weight limit. Think of it this way. You have another 300 kilos to add more weapons. Same thing applies to Lightweights and Middleweights.
-
Gearbot reminds me of my first stock-killer HW, Big Box. Twin face spinner with 8 maces. Don't remember the wheels though. Drive was probably RAD. Hum. Should remake it.
Anyway, Gearbot sucks. Weapon is pretty poor, too much battery power, lots of weight left over, lots of chassis space left, not invertible, Redbirds are not so good...
Monster Truck... even worse. Weapon is kinda horrible - Saws are bad in Stock RA2, the motor is needlessly unprotected, more wasted weight, more wasted chassis space, the car steering unit is pretty crappy, and it's overpowered.
-
Important stuff will be in italics.
Really important stuff is bolded.
You can use High Power Z-teks - not only are these more powerful/faster, but you've got more than enough battery power for it. You should also avoid using car steering because this will hinder your ability to move. Do try to also make the chassis as small as possible so you can have more weight for more weapons. Like the others have said, build to the weight limit as well. Also, avoid using saws for weapons in Stock because they do very little damage and are very brittle. Also, you should try to protect your motors and chassis with ramplates or better yet snowplows However, I'm glad that you use black batteries on heavyweights.
Overall, at this point you suck, but if you follow the other forum members' advice, I believe that you might be capable of awesome things. The BeetleBros. website (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
) is a great place to start learning some of the techniques used by the top Stock builders, and I advise that you take a good look at it.
When you first start building you should look at other builder's bots and see how their bots are built. At first, you should try to replicate what they've done. However, as you get more skilled do try to find your own style.
-
thanks for the advice. i dont get the thing about the armor here is a really good bot called axebot 2 he has titanium armor.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92214screenshot_2.bmp)
-
Ignore the armor tap for better armor, I can't see whats hard.
Also, please use JPG or PNG for images. BMP images take for ever to load.
-
ok do u think the bot is good?
-
No.
In stock, realism is ignored. Pinks should only be used for ants, beetles, and maybe light weights. Axes are used for ramming. Snapper2s are used for wedges(Most of the time).
-
what should i use 4 the axe then
-
Two razors of coarse.
One thing, damage is calculated by adding the damage of weapons. I.E., two razors will do more damage than one ax.
-
wud a sleghammer work?
-
Try seeing others showcases for ideas and try making similiar yourself.
And really, take a VERY good look at the page that R1885 posted on the first page on this topic.
I cant even get started on what there is to improve, because that would make too long list.
-
wud a sleghammer work?
HELL NO.
It does the same damage as one iron, but at three times the weight.
-
Less damage than an iron actually...
-
Do not use pinks.
-
Sledge hammers are only good for designs that OOTA opponents.
-
I CANNOT TAKE ANOTHER NEWB LIKE THIS.

I like people who are normal when they first join; like the ounce, pwnator, and tatatatatskukiyoaooyayi.
LRA2, Natef, Doomaster, Halitosis...AAAGH
-
Yeah, but some actually do grow up. Hell, living example right here.
-
Dude don't ignore peoples advice, that will get you nowhere. I said earlier to build to the weight limit with a detailed explanation in it.
-
ok ill try thx 4 the feedback. what would be a good wepon?
-
Razors.
-
I like yuz boz so far Mr halitosies. Keep em coming!!!

And you need to know what a good bot looks like.
-
redline, you were nothing like these guys. the closest example who amounted to anything was Sage, and he wasnt THAT bad. just posted a damn lot.
-
Well, it worked...
-
Best weapons are Razors, Iron Spikes, and Maces. Sometimes axes.

-
Was you around in 2004/2005?
Yes.
-
heres a bot he has that DSA armor.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46848screenshot_3.bmp)
i heard on that link that making motors like this makes them faster, but its not!!!!!! :? WHY? :mad::mad:
-
Because it only works for weapons, not drive.
-
You're getting a bit better, there's not as much empty space as the others.
-
Chaining motors will increase RPM's but you'll lose torque as a result - causing acceleration to be severly hindered.
-
Because your doing it wrong. Check my showcase for what Chained drives are good for.
Also, R1885 is to stupid to know how chained drives work.
-
It's overall better than your other attempts, but to add on to what the others have said about it, the thing on top is wasted weight that could be used for better weapons, and even if you get rid of excess drive motors, they're still very exposed, which is not good.
-
I was pretty bad when I started too, but now I'm better.
-

Copied name,redbirds are crappy,slims are too weak,axes are normaly used for ramming and Rubbish wheels(Shinys please!)
-
Check the post date idiot.
And it so happens that your are 90% WRONG.
-
2 day "bump" and you're whining ?
And for once, the kid's actually pretty much right.
-
Copied name? From who, you? Axebot is about the most generic name you can get. I have an Axebot myself.
Actually, you're right about the other stuff.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, I present Ribbs!:
-
I meant when the bot was first posted Naryar.
-
...So?
-
Copied name? From who, you? Axebot is about the most generic name you can get. I have an Axebot myself.
Actually, you're right about the other stuff.
Yup.
-
Axebot is far too generic to be called out for a copied name like that. It just is.
For once LRA2 is mostly right. Axes.. well, they can be used for swinging weapons too, but they're used in rammers these days...
-
Copied name,redbirds are crappy,slims are too weak,axes are normaly used for ramming and Rubbish wheels(Shinys please!)
Redbirds are good, you little dum bum
-
Redbirds are good, you little dum bum
Not as good as you think.
https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Redbird
-
About as good as bringing a napkin to a gunfight.
They are only slightly lighter than standard Z-teks and yet they aren't nearly as effective for the weight. You might've as well used RAD.
-
Not as good as you think.
https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Redbird
I don't really care about that, i still think they are good sometimes
-
The wiki is horribly biased, and generally not a good source of info. It has decent rule-of-thumb stuff, but once you've passed that stage, it's a pretty bad resource.
I think that Redbirds are generally pretty good because they are much more powerful that RAD's, and two weigh 8 kg less than 2 regular Zteks, which is a huge amount at the LW level. For LW and some MW bots, I think Redbirds are fine.
-
So to sum everything up, don't listen to Ribbs.
LRA2 was actually more right than he was.
-
Or DuckRA2.

!!PS!!! I DIDN'T NAME HIM BEFORE I TOOK THE PICTUE HIS NAME IS LITENING!!!
he needs more battry power i no.
-
Empty space, slow drive, Use the small wedge as it is better, build up to the weight limit.
Can't think of anything else as of yet
-
Shrink the chassis, nice DDTs, use small wedges, rear spike not needed, Rubbers or shinies, Ztek drive, another black batt in place of the nifty.
-
Idk if anyone told you this Mr Halitosis,but use Starcore,it WILL help you.
-
NO.
Use RFS AI or MR CHAOS AI.
-
What is Mr. Chaos AI, dare I ask. And you should use SC.
-
HE IS'NT READY FOR:STARCORE1,2,3,Dsl,nar ai.
-
starcore 1 would do him good actually
-
get starcore 4
It really doesn't matter what order you go in I started with 3
-
i kinda forgot where to get starcore v4...
can someone tell me where it is?
-
Does his bot look like it's ready for Starcore 4? Just get the RFS pack.
-
Roboman, no one really wants to tell you anything because you understand nothing.
-
Just get the RFS pack.
Lame, get SCv1 instead.

a good middle level pack is RA2GE that can be found on Gigafrost site :
http://www.freewebs.com/gigafrost/
i should deliver soon (by the end of the month) a huge compilation of AI packs ( 'all in one' with more than 140 teams) with easy ones (RFS), middle level (Gigafrost, mad scientist, mines) and harder (starecore 3 and a few starecore 2).

HELLO EVRYBODY IM BACK!!!!!!!! im sure you missed me im sorry i ws gone so long. i got a cool bot thats cool called BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!! he has steel armor cuz i think its stronger than dsa.

1. Never use pinks on MWs or LWs
2. build to the weight limit
-
fail
-
Try looking at other people's showcases for inspiration.

That has to be some prankster double accounting...
He's just too much of a n00b for me to believe he is genuinely new.

qft
If he's ever fought anything with any of his bots, he would know that they are bad.
-
What does 'qft' mean?
-
quoted for truth
-
1. Shrink the chassis
2. Use shinies
3. Remove the pinks for another black batt
4. Swap the anchor for a snapper
-
4. Swap the anchor for a snapper
Why, a snapper is heavier.
-
Why, a snapper is heavier.
You can adjust it at any time, an anchor you have to take off everything to adjust it. Plus, it'll be closer to the weight limit.
-
HELLO EVRYBODY IM BACK!!!!!!!! im sure you missed me
I doubt it. Also, are you older than 11?
-
1. Never use pinks on MWs or LWs
Not necessarily. Some bots barely need any power at all (which is why Click's Brown Wreckluse 2 can still rack up wins with only 2 pinks).
But yeah. Generally, most bots don't use pinks unless there is a weight/space constraint.
-
HEY GUYS I GOT A GREAT NEW BOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/430screenshot_13.bmp)
i think steel is stronger than dsa i think so i used it.
ITS GREAT HUH!!!!!!!

Probably the best bot I've seen in a while.

Erm...
-
...
Im speechless! Because of the suckyness of the bot.
-
Sooo....different...
-
Okay. Here's a few words of wisdom from Hypno.
1. Use DSA armor! Whether you want to believe it or not, it is the strongest armor available. So bypass the armor tab please.
2. Wheels could be on the inside of your chassis
3. Fill up space in the base plate. Build to the weight limit if ur building heavies.
4. Use components to protect ur chassis
5. Check out the RA2 techs on the beetlebros website. (but I'm sure you've heard that about 10 times now.)
-
Use high power z-teks, eliminate empty space, and don't use square extenders.
-
you should build for the Starcore packs. No doubt there is originality there.

Use shinies or rubber wheels
Shrink the chassis

Maybe it's the ghost of LRA2?But with less commas?
-
@lloopp: Nope, LRA2 doesn't talks like this.
I kinda doubt it's Red, halitosise talks incredibly dumb, while Red has proper grammer skills. So yeah...
Red could fake talking incredibly dumb.
I'm 95% sure it's not him though.
-
Let's make halitosises rank, "THE SUPER N00B".
-
Naryar's right, it's easy to just change how you type. Atleast on a grammar level.
I'd totally deny being Halitosis but that makes me that me more plausible then ever.
So I'll give it a big resounding but unclear/unspecific NO.

Click: nobody could have noticed this sooner for we can not view IP addresses :P

"Mrhalitosis" is deleted now. While this was kind of an amusing prank here, it will get less and less funny every time someone does it. I don't want it becoming a trend. Anyone else starts multi-accounting, there might be some temp bans issued.

Reier gets an SFTW for Christmas
-
Not a bad present, all things considered.
-
is this a prank that reier is muiltiaccounting!?! PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE NECESSARY! I remember on the old forum there was some guy named destructo or something, and he enter two bots in a competition from different accounts! oh well, that was very unexpecter reier, or should I say Mrhalitiosioeses!
LOL

Wow.. people took this more seriously than I expected. Good job Reier at fooling almost everyone!

It was sarcasm from me =)

We actually had a clue back on page 2. Reier posts what do you mean by the armour, when he would clearly know. halitosises says the same thing 42 seconds later. I'm guessing Reier forgot to log out and in again as halitosises.
