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 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.

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?

R1885 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:00:49 PM »

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).

Mrhalitosis · « **Reply #28 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:02:48 PM »

what should i use 4 the axe then

R1885 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:06:30 PM »

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?

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #31 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:08:22 PM »

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.

HELL NO.
It does the same damage as one iron, but at three times the weight.

Naryar · « **Reply #33 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:03:05 PM »

Less damage than an iron actually...

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #34 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:39:53 PM »

Do not use pinks.

System32 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:50:13 PM »

Sledge hammers are only good for designs that OOTA opponents.

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.
