Title: Randa's Robots! :D
Post by: Randa on May 31, 2011, 08:48:45 PM: Welcome to my Stock Bot Showcase!(http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i445/Randa93/th_push_LGI-1.gif?t=1306885158)

Hi everybody! Here's a bot I made a few days ago, SpinAndWin. He can't really drive well, but if he just sits there and spins, he can win.....most of the time. He has DSA armor, Z-teks for his saws and spinner, and he's invertible. (I'll probably make a better skin for him later.)

And he can beat Emergency :P

I know he could be improved somehow, but I think he's better than my first bot, Slice 'n' Dice (really slow.) Anyway, what do y'all think?

btw, my brother is Mechadino :P

It would probably be better as a Sns/HS hybrid. You also don't need the air tank, so you could get rid of that and change the weapon motor to an HPZ, too. Good job with cropping and building to the weight limit though.

Most bots here use HP Z-tek drive, even the middleweights, mostly. RADs work well with middle weights with heavy weapons, and are good for general use in lightweights. You really don't need an air tank, they only work with pistons. A nifty is also all you need to get this bot moving around as well. Nice that your at least building to the limit.

Yeah, I wasn't so sure about the castors.... I'll take them out.
My bro was also saying to switch to HP Z-teks, but I thought they would drain the battery too fast. I could put them in anyway and see how he does, I guess.
Oh yeah, I could take the air tank out. It was in there because I was using a linear actuator piston to get razors through his saws, and kinda for battle. (It didn't really work, though.)
Thanks for the tips!

I was thinking about using wheels, but I don't think there's any tall enough so that he would still be invertible...
I'm thinking about switching the battery to a Nifty, and I'm gonna use HP Z-teks for driving and take out the air tank :)

Also, you probably want to get Starcore AI. As they are OVER 9000 times better than the normal AI.

Post by: Mecha on May 31, 2011, 10:07:31 PM: Saws look cool but they kinda stink in stock, you should put some irons or razors on a disc, and get Starcore 1 or 2 and i don't think your ready for Starcore 3 and 4, anyway i love the name and it spells S.A.W EPIC WIN (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/gawe.gif)

I thought about using a disc with razors or something for wheels, but then his name spelling S.A.W. wouldn't make sense anymore :P but I might switch them anyway, if it makes him drive better.
Not ready for Starcore 3 or 4? You know what, I'm gonna go download them right now.....

EDIT: um, I'll just start with Starcore 3 for now.....

Post by: J on May 31, 2011, 11:58:31 PM: Am I the only one who loves the paint job on Spin and Win?
As far as stock-based skins go, its pretty incredible.
(...mostly because I'm a sucker for clockwork things)

Thanks :P
But yeah, I'm gonna give him a custom paint job.
(but I'll keep the clockwork things...)

(https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/mrgreen.gif) I just wish there wasn't a little gap between Luigi and the words....but that's probably just me being a perfectionist. :P

Post by: Naryar on August 10, 2011, 02:23:46 PM: *sigh* And yet again four completely useless posts. Hell, make that five.

I will clean that later. But it was really INCREDIBLY POINTLESS *growls*
