I just love the look of your robots!

Looks just like Noodle's bot that he just posted. I'm surprised that it has a good wedge with the Snapper axle so high, and the ram plate attached to the wedge. Usually that's a recipe for disaster.

Well my robot was a pretty generic design.

That, Click, would be because of my awesome extender setup.

Been ages since I built anything in Stock. Decided to kick things off again with another version of HaleStorm. I made the wedges 120cm long from the rearmost DDTs, to make them both more effective and less suceptible to flanking, but they are STILL comparatively fail. Can't work out why. =P

Why 8 DDT's?

Wow... Just Wow...

'Cause I'm not great at thinking up setups. Back 2 for wedges and ramplates, middle 2 for drive motors, front 4 for weaponry.

If it weren't for the skin, I wouldn't have liked it. :P

Try putting the drive and weapon bursts onto 2 Snapper IIs. That should give you more weight to play around with.

Put the drive on S-II's.

NFX · « **Reply #150 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:55:11 PM »

I tried adding the SnapperII to the game, and now it crashes when I click on the Mechanics tab. I made a Components.cfz backup, copied the files into the right folder, followed the readme, and it hasn't worked.

Which download did you use?

NFX · « **Reply #152 on:** August 12, 2010, 04:45:48 PM »

I can't remember where I got them, I think it was Sage's component pack or something.

Sage · « **Reply #153 on:** August 12, 2010, 05:43:46 PM »

Try re-downloading the game from my signature and then just transferring your bots over from the old game.

NFX · « **Reply #154 on:** August 15, 2010, 08:31:19 AM »

Thanks, Sage. Seems to have worked now.

In the meantime, I decided to have a crack at the Psycolone Popup Challenge. Built in about 20 minutes or so, after much fine-tuning with the chassis. Would have probably preferred it with a ramplate on the front, but never mind. =P I tried curving the extenders off the middle DDT, and it seems to have actually worked really well. Outwedges quite a lot of stuff in the BBEANS AI pack. =D Even Seism 13 when its wedges are in the middle.

Stagfish · « **Reply #155 on:** August 15, 2010, 08:52:49 AM »

Twist the razors so the flat side hits the other bot.

System32 · « **Reply #156 on:** August 15, 2010, 08:57:52 AM »

That's optional, it leaves the weapon extenders more exposed.

Sage · « **Reply #157 on:** August 15, 2010, 11:04:00 AM »

Someone needs to come up with a different chassis design, this one looks EXACTLY like Pwnator's bot.

I'm on it.

Cheese please · « **Reply #158 on:** August 15, 2010, 12:13:04 PM »

OT: nice, you get to put your wedge in the middle, unlike mines lol. i like the font for the name!
