Because it is the best chassis.
owait... is this even possible without BFE/AAM ?
Armour?I was thinking DSA until I saw the Supervolt.
It's DSA, But I'll send on one condition, I get the pack when It's AI'ed.
I don't see how that's possible without keeping the ramplates, the DDT, and It's speed.
That's actually quite a good MW. How's it for steering?
No NFX, that isn't a sledgehammer. :P
No NFX, that isn't a sledgehammer. :P
On the bot, I'd say it could stand to be a little more compact, once you learn your way around snapper loading.

At this setup, it couldn't. Unless you know how to stack a Snapper II into a Nifty. :P
I'm starting to feel Criticized.
Dude, did you use BFE on that? I don't think you can stack all those maces cleanly like that.
Tentacle Attack is a weaponed flipper and should stay like that, NOT a popup.
While most of them are top builder's material for sure, I was already disappointed at the lack of robot type variation in Restocked AI. We don't need Starcore AI to be even less varied.
It looks like a sort of angled crawler to me. A bit like Volatile Partisan without wheels.Possibly, but whats with the castors anyway?
It looks like a sort of angled crawler to me. A bit like Volatile Partisan without wheels.ORRRRR
Random pole spike is random
Top left arm on the top right pic has a pole spike not a mace.
Maybe he used those then BFE'd them into maces
:eek:
Top left arm on the top right pic has a pole spike not a mace.you can put maces on without eFFe. That's how I build Bonebreaker and the first version of Cool whip

Yay pysc popup challenge!
Your splashes are great but really low quality. I wonder if theres a way to keep the quality of the original screenshot?
And ballasts. :O
Don't let Nary see you ;)
D'you not mean 796.6kg?Good point. but I fixed it so that mistake over.
I'm just wondering if the weapon arms are a bit long.
@Above bot:Probably Not. but maybe that was luck.
......You mounted the DDTs on Snapper IIs? Nice.
Does it havok at all? Ive tried weird designs like that, and the bot always just havoks itself to death >___>
Maybe you should try a different AI pack to test on since most of the bots there are super outdated.If you think that where can I find an AI Pack that's strong? No I'm not asking fo SCAI v4.
NFX, you make a valid point.
Someone IP check this guy and unmask him.
Better watch out, Sage. ;]
Though I am still really bored a little, I think It's the outdated pack I'm using. is there a pack that's stronger?
Nice chassis management! Small wedge > Ewedge tho
I think thats a resizing in the splash.But it looks the same as every other screenshot ive seen >___>
looks exactly like my rebuild of orcus....Looks like it doesn't it? But there are some differences. One of them is that all the pole spikes has been removed for razors.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50193SplashG.PNG)
Thanks, But There's one problem I'm having. :frown:
Now are the middle Irons connected?
Its probably really obvious.
But what are they attached to?Now are the middle Irons connected?
Its probably really obvious.
Pausing, yo. It's like eFFeing, but with pistons.
if a little slow.
Did someone say Death By Purple 3? :gawe:No But This next bot is similar to it.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57427Splash54.PNG)
I'm trying to make my splashes cooler.
Damn Shogun reminds me of the day I built Trojan Horse. I was obsessed with Y connectors back then. XDStill a good design on my view .
Shogun should be a wammer !You made your shogun a popup, so that inspired me to build mine. But yours is still awesome.
Pah ! You call that "a lot" ? Mine has 14 :p
You know BOTM bots are supposed to be secret, right? Don't showcase anything you plan on entering.Darn! No I didn't. :frown: Next when I plan an entry for another BOTM, I'll follow your advice .
True. And the Psycolone Popup has exactly the same setup as EVERY other Psycolone Popup in existence. Besides Sage's.
I think the HS rebuilds are more appropriate if they use the same weapons as they did before. Otherwise everything's just maces. :P
Is the turning affected by there only being 3 spinners at all?
Is the turning affected by there only being 3 spinners at all?
Based on mine, not so much. But that doesn't really matter since it's an uber-HS. :P
True. And the Psycolone Popup has exactly the same setup as EVERY other Psycolone Popup in existence. Besides Sage's. But nice work, it's an good exercise in Chassis space management.Bear claws and swords :beer:
As for the spinner, I'd be inclined to agree with Pwn on this one. If every spinner had maces, and a kinda "dark" paintjob, the game would be quite dull. I don't particularly want to see the death of razors or irons on spinners.
Bear claws and swords :beer:
@Pwn I'm still working on those two rebuilds.I got one of those rebuilds done.
Well, do YOU have any other advice?No, it needs none :yaya)
Sypher, every bot can be improved in some way, shape or form.
The bot would be better if you snapper loaded the Z-Tek inside the chassis, but it's fine as it is.
OH GOD ANOTHER ALTER EGO
The bot would be better if you snapper loaded the Z-Tek inside the chassis, but it's fine as it is.
Indeed, but then it would be an Alter Ego clone. What was that about you ranting about originality ?
Also I made this clone.Damn that 4 in the score on the top right picture

DANG YOU REDACE! AND YOUR ABILITY TO STACK CIRCUIT BOARDS.I'd be more worried about the exposed motors there.
Though I'm curious as to how it preforms. The middle seems a little exposed.
2nd HS's razor isn't rotated properly. D:
What's the first HS mounted on (18-mace setup is awesome as well)?
Looks to me like he stacked a snapper in the nifty and used a T connector.
2nd HS's razor isn't rotated properly. D:
What's the first HS mounted on (18-mace setup is awesome as well)?
Its mounted on an inward facing axle mount, either slightly offset from center with a 20cm attached sideways, or more likely a t connector.
Looks almost exactly like Inf's bot Exs or whatever. He entered it in RAWWell this next bot looks way more exact. except this has a 7th caster. (like Mayhem Droid), and also DSA.
Funny how you got 18,000 while on top of Medium 2.
You are so talented it's not even funny...Hes so talented that he can show the frontal-section of a robot and assume we all know what the insides are.
Needs some frontal protection. Couple of ramplates should do.Not true.
Annd how is he to get the weight for them?Shinies? lolno
10 razors on a single DDT is a bit muchAside from the fact I have no real idea how he got 10 on there, his bot seems to be doing fine with the 10 O,o
It's so cute :3That, that it is.
BUT EPICLY MANLYBut it doesnt have Kamina glasses :O
BUT EPICLY MANLYBut it doesnt have Kamina glasses :O
So I decided to make a showcase so my first bot is an antweight Mini-Macer.

well i tried, probably could be better and the paint job was tough to get right.
(https://gametechmods.com/forums/../uploads/images/76637Mini%20AC.jpg)
:O I just noticed that bot has 2 axle mounts. I thought it had 4 angle motors at first.123 found that they were just as good for damage. Has none of the other pros of motors for a Snsns though.
Are the axle mounts as good as angle motors?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71280Splash78.PNG)Well here's the overdue updated version.
Love it, solid update aswell.
You're very impressive in your stock skills, just out of interest, why haven't you started showcasing more antweights?
random castor on the front somewhere?Why not 2 :P
I'm pretty sure by shrinking the chassis somehow or by simply not using the SnpperII at all and mounting the Ztek inside the chassis you can get 9 maces, or 12 razors.
it's just that that's the only combat-efficient solution I can think of.
rammers can be combat effective??
That looks exactly the same as a bot that was in ROBONOVA, except blue.
How is this guy so good
if Inf and Venko had a baby his name would be RedAce :P
Ian... are you hinting that Venk and Inf met up with eachother IRL, and are are sharing the RedAce account? O,oHow is this guy so goodif Inf and Venko had a baby his name would be RedAce :P
he stacks like venko and builds bots like INF and even uses INF AI and INF style splashes.

This is the reason this forum is a complete embarrassment.
I just LOLed so hard at this showcase. There is such an overwhelming lack of originality, or anything that proves itself to be a deign that was never anyone elses (there are so many AI clones in this showcase from my bots and from Starcore) and everyone appreciates it as ability and originality. WTF happened here? Has this place become overridden with n00b drones and horrific opinions?
It's about some one came back to dish out the opinions, because this forum/showcase is embarrassing compared to previous standards.
people think original designs will fail in combat but that's only because people need time to perfect new designs. We have seen the perfect horizontal spinner, possibly seen the perfect popup etc. the only reason stock is fading is because people are letting it >.>

wooo
Looking good, does the first one have 12 razors? Actually it has 9 razors.Hopefully this answers your questions.
On the second one surely the ice picks should be grazing the ground, not 4 irons (unless it's just the angle) The picks don't touch the ground.
How did you get Cyborg?It's in the ARBBC AI pack.
You could probably shove a caster in between the BAs on the lightweightHmm, I haven't thought of that, so I got the caster on the front along with two more generic LWs.
Unfortunately, this thing loves to have havok seizures.I believe they have medication for that. :P
Try again ;) mine has hp teksIf I gave it HPZ's, I'd ave to sacrifice the DSA.
There has to be a more efficient way to make that chassis. If you were KOS i would just say exostack the anchors :PExo-stacking anchors ain't that hard. Even I can do it. xD

Looks good to me, one question: what is the benefit of using buzzard wheels here? Is it to do with making it invertible, or is it to keep the razors off the ground when it spins?Probably nothing, but I had some extra weight.

Speaking of which, Is there any robot left to make for ReStocked that I could make?Here's a text file Scrap sent me (http://pastebin.com/uUBwkdS4), fairly it was posted in the restocked thread too. It's pretty dated though, aka stuff like BEAR which was already redone by sage.

Both have the same chassis, 1 black, DSA, and all that jazz.
HW or SHW triple hybridDone:
What does that square extender do? I think 1 katana is light enough to retract by itself, I may be wrong though.1. no use for the extra weight
hows them motors there
i feel like thats just forcing the whole hybrid thing
like either of those weapons systems individually would work better
i feel like thats just forcing the whole hybrid thing
Of course you realize, this means war !

i want this bot with me in my bedEh, why not? Have fun with it.
i, of course, like it
hmm i do believe you can make these extenders holding the flamers smaller.No, I cannot. The damn flamethrowers have a stupid collision mesh which makes it impossible to move the flamethrowers in any closer. That and considering the average size of a middleweight, I wouldn't say it matters too much.
Can you move the pistons on the poker back? I think pokers are better when they have room to reach full extension, instead of resting right inside the axe rack.Probably, it was tricky for me to attach the anchors to where they had enough space. I could try though.
Could you not use slim wheels?Pretty sure TRFBD do not work with wheels
Could you not use slim wheels?Too mainstream
Not even mainstream. Those discs are the largest wheel I can make because TRFBDs rely on their height to attack.Could you not use slim wheels?Too mainstream
The problem with TRFBS in stock is that all extenders have 100HP. As in, a single hit to one of those gigantic extenders and your bot is done. You might have a better chance if it was a HW and you put plows over your extenders to protect it.That doesn't sound too bad to try to make it effective, but then again, I was more-so going for the proof of concept design for innovation and for the fact it was wroth a try. I know it's gonna suck.
Please, I hope you don't mind me asking, what is a TRFBD? I've never heard of one.Torque Reaction Full Body Drum.
Please, I hope you don't mind me asking, what is a TRFBD? I've never heard of one.
I just checked and there is no dedicated page for TRFBDs; the closest thing is the page for "Full Body Drum (https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Full_Body_Drum)."Please, I hope you don't mind me asking, what is a TRFBD? I've never heard of one.
It's been invented by madman3. It's a gay design that flails at the top of bots.
Somehow like a crawler hybrided with a full-body vertical spinner.
I believe there is a wiki page about that.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8170bloodbrothers.png)Ah yes, I do... :ouch:
Mechadino should recognize this (or these). 2 blacks, six razors, etc.
I've been trying to build this thing but everytime I try to build it, I gives me AGOD.1WD=V.Cool
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74191fuagod.png)
:rage Seriously, I've tried so many setups and still gives me AGOD.
I've never had that problem.
I've also taken a look at your showcase and I have some serious doubt that you've built an entire robot off of a single axle like on this robot. Actually yes, there is an axle on there for the entire setup. I now regret using it since it havoks in a near instance. I just wanted to show my pain for some odd reason.
Heads up redace, it's usually a very bad idea to put your drive on an axle in any instance that isn't an NCR glitch SnS (and even those can be finicky). If you don't just havok OOTA you're going to have a hard time driving. I would suggest using two anchors underneath the nifty. I very much agree with you. I just barely mess around with the NCR Glitch, so I was trying to mess around with it on a bot that had an easy to understand setup. I.E: Volatile Partisan. I also tried messing with a BW SnS with the drive motors on an axle to save weight, but as expected, It didn't work. it was worth trying though.
mini cyclone is probably one of the worst AWs in ASAI btw I've already posted in the thing in battleshots, so I'm not gonna fire any more shots. I really just wanted some filler for just a bot that was meant to be funny.
Poker/jugglerOh right. I forgot about that. I certainly will build that hybrid though. I've got a few drafts in my head and I haven't tried them yet.
Gonna rename it though, I just researched it and a centuar is only two combonations and I wanted to give it a name with three combonations.
The first bot looks great even tho its overweight.
Yes, it's overweight by about 47 kgs, but that was intentional for the poker part. Some of you may know why. ;)
also FS/HS/VS/rammer. try HW.
Poker/jugglerDone: (Finally!)
I now wanna see If I can build this in stock.Well, I did it.
I think it would be better with the scoop only. I like it, however.What the hell is a single scoop going to do?
look better.You do know this is a stock showcase, right? It's not about presentation, more about combat effectiveness.
ram into things, I thought it would look better.Just as Godot said (Yugitom).
QFTlook better.You do know this is a stock showcase, right? It's not about presentation, more about combat effectiveness.
Looking cool is for DSL, just so ya' knowMore-so IRL than competitive DSL-S.
look better.You do know this is a stock showcase, right? It's not about presentation, more about combat effectiveness.
You're right but I said 'more about' combat effectiveness. I wasn't saying that's the only thing people should strive for, just that DSL does presentation much better. Plus, it was obvious that RedAce was striving for combat effectiveness.look better.You do know this is a stock showcase, right? It's not about presentation, more about combat effectiveness.
I'm gonna just barge in and say this is BS. Stock can be about presentation or combat effectiveness about equally.
It's just that we are wired to think "stock=maximum efficiency" due to the main stock building style.
Pics please? I'd like to see what you did differently if better or worse.You'll see it in MO2 but whatever. :P
4/20 national stock bot building dayAnd no stock bots have been showcased for this holiday. I must fix this. Too bad I only have two generic bots for this though.
what's the extender setup like for the one on the right?Something like this:
you could at least have not ripped off my name style, cmon man.True. I'm just surprised you didn't make a HW version of Astraphobia and Lilasaphobia earlier. I was mostly building it with the name in mind since google gave me disgusting and freaky images when I searched it from curiosity.
Whats with the wheels?It's just extra weight for the rubbers. Couldn't really do much else with 10 kg.
#1 Good design, but not interesting enough. Seems like Redace.How'd you guess that? O_o
#1: Not bad at all. The splash seems pretty ominous though. Dunno who made it though
4. The way you talked about it. For whatever reason, it just seemed fishy. Especially the last bit.Well I had to disguise myself somehow. :P
:P#1: Not bad at all. The splash seems pretty ominous though. Dunno who made it though
Any ideas on what I can build next?Go for a FS/Drum
Done:Any ideas on what I can build next?Go for a FS/Drum
is 2 nifties enough?Probably. I believe at least one gives enough power for about two motors, double that amount and it should be good. It really needs power to drive.
its probably a static rack so there's nothing he can do about the razors
Not sure if the popup and hammer do anything, though.
Holy sh**, you built something besides a clone of someone else's bot. Way to go.
Try an FS/Hammer for the frontal destruction of an FS with the downward crash of a hammer.I promised that I would do this hybrid, but I never got around to doing it. I finally decided that I would build this one since this idea has been floating around my head for quite a while. Better late than never I suppose, but here it is:
if i remember right bracket wedge has the same weight but more hp as E-wedgeThe Bracket wedge weighs 16 kg but is stronger than the E-Wedge. So no, I can't use it sadly.
nothing worse than a hybrid which weapons do not synergize well with each other.am i doin it rite

prank: made a 3wd botWould this be legal for the 3WD challenge 09?
couldnt you just make a slightly bigger chassis since the anchor will almost certainly get in the wayyeah, seems like the anchor will harm your wedge's efficiency
I agree. It would be better, I just didn't feel like rebuilding it at the time. But now I did feel like doing it.couldnt you just make a slightly bigger chassis since the anchor will almost certainly get in the wayyeah, seems like the anchor will harm your wedge's efficiency
Have a rule where a popup can use razors only if there is a limit to four or something like that, and you can't use external wedges. I remember a good number of bots back then that have done that.i agree, though instead of a razor limit, how about a rule that popups can only use y-connectors for their weapons
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66070mjolnirwithmaces.png)
Basically, it's Mjolnir but with maces instead of razors and a caster, and black extenders. Everything else is the same though.
jackpot, coal miner, lil dogDamn you're good. And I think the swords on R0B0's version were used for catching bots, but I don't exactly remember. Might look it up later.
pretty sure robo's coal miner is the same but with weaker weapon motors for side katanas. I think yours would probably be the better of the two though.
Kinda out of the loop here, is Reforged just ReStocked v2 with completely different bots?Pretty much, but I think it has enough differences to stick out on it's own merits. Hell, I guess you could also call NAR AI 3.1 "Restocked v3 with slightly different bots." But I digress.
Love #1 so much! Possible to make reach a little better? #2 looks a little plain and possibly long enough to have flank problems. The weapon-breaker/extender protectors on #3 are really interesting but it seems underweaponed; maybe try snapper setup or 2 pinks?Jackpot is quite scrunched on weight, so that might be tough. I was thinking of using pinks for Lil' Dog, but I also wanted to get the wedge to help the bot self right and have some power when it's around the two minute mark.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43777somethingnew.png)
Found an old chassis and made this wammer. I haven't tested this yet, but it could do well bear in mind the wedge works and doesn't get the bot halted by the weapons.
BOTM is an odd one. You can enter a great robot (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13807.0), not win, and then someone can take the exact same idea only worse and win not once (https://gametechmods.com/TournamentFiles/botm/2015/12/Thrackerzod_winterbones_botm.png) but twice with it.

[/Salt]
I've put days of effort into BOTM robots before and it really is disheartening to not see the effort reciprocated in a win or even a high standing. All I can suggest is just disregarding the voting aspect of it entirely and just take the brief as a challenge, as something to do. If you submit something then you've already won, anything else is a bonus.

DSA, Nifty, 2 tanks, etc.
Pin bots with the ramming axes, wear them down with the flamethrower, and finish them with the spinner (in theory)Clickbeetle pretty much summed up F.I.V.E.S fights, the flamethrowers did epic damage and the other weapons finished the bots off.
Looks like Trimera is F.I.V.E.S little brother, liking it.Wasn't intentional, but now I can't unsee that connection. Thanks for that.
Also like others mentioned it seems very similar to an earlier bot you built, sadly probably the only way to do such designs.Yeah, I lok at it now and think I could have done a lot better with the splash. It was just one of those "dangit why didn't I think of doing that beforehand" sort-of scenarios. And I ain't pulling a Mr. Bones for the latter. I'd like to keep things fresh as possible.
Don't let your hopes get down, and if possible I'd highly suggest entering it again.
Was hoping for it to win. Only negative things about the bot are how it can't move much after the front supports are gone, but that's common for stock angled VS spinner and how the game just had to ruin the texture mapping(seriously RA2? No idea why it looks fine in the components tab, personally I've started making my own ruler(similar to what Starcore v3? has, or doesn't, because it isn't in my dl'd V3) with certain set heights and those don't seem to cause that issue.It was either that or making it a box with wedges, and I know my luck with wedge wars.
I know, not the right place to ask but is there anything which helps with stacking(other than having a big screen size+zooming so you get more precise movement)? For me it's been mostly random so far and stacking Co2 bottles looks like a lot of trouble.Having a lot of patience helps. Stock is one of those games where you need to be accurate and precise as possible. Also, give yourself some room in the chassis to make it fit easier.
(long mega quote post. sorry.)More my fault for making such a big post to begin with.

Still can't fully understand why stacking is possible(I thought it had something to do with a component hitbox fully fitting into a different one, but since you can place components half clipping, that isn't really true).
Any plans on new Flamethrower bots?Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Flame Spinner/SnS? I haven't really seen too much bots with flames, but having something with a huge flame ring and a few spikes to finish off battles would sure be nice to see, then again maybe that's common?Any plans on new Flamethrower bots?Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

No but good try. I put that there on purpose to throw you off, hence, red herring.is it...red herringlol that's the first thing i did, check the picture filename
i would personally like to see more hammer and less rammer, like replacing the weapon rack with two snowplows and upgrading to ddts with more weaponsI'd do that too, but DDT's won't fit because I don't have much room from where the anchors are placed. Even then if I could move them, I don't think I could fit the anchors in from where the ones holding the bracket wedges will get in the way.
Well I knew you wouldn't have put the real name in the file name, but I had to try anyway. :PNo but good try. I put that there on purpose to throw you off, hence, red herring.is it...red herringlol that's the first thing i did, check the picture filename
Guess what this is cloning, I dare you.

i would definitely spin both weapons the same way though, otherwise you'll be having a harder time getting the surface area for big hits.I did test that and it was actually worse for me since it lost even more control and can't even really do anything.
I'm sure it would be a bloody pain to do that Redbird stack again, not to mention the Nifty+control board (which I still struggle with).Surprisingly, I managed to make another bot with both stacks again, so it must've not taken that long, haha.
2WD rammers can get by on 2 small battery packs for power, so you could theoretically get a much smaller chassis. Might have weight to upgrade the razors then, certainly if you replaced the T connector with an extender.
looks nice af too :thumbup :thumbup, you could probably triple stack the 3 batteries and turn them 90 degrees for a smaller chassis to see if you could get hp zteks for the vs part but i'm not sure if it's worth itThanks, and that isn't a bad idea, tho I'm worried if it'll juggle too much or not. That and I'm not sure if I got that much patience anymore.
redace the kids tell me stock bots can't be cool so that means youre cheatingYou got me. I've always been Venko this whole time. Clearly.
how are the wedgesVery meh-ish. AGOD kinda screws with 'em so that doesn't help.
How many swings can it dish out? Mine can only muster around 4-5 before the arm fails to retract due to using 140 cms.I think around the same, but I think it swings faster with the shorter length from testing.
The MW hammers feel kinda same-y, IMO. Would like to see one of them look like the old Iceberg (caster rack).That's fair. I just wasn't sure how to get variety initially. Wasn't sure which one to do initially since Iceberg was represented with the ice picks and awkward size, and Bushido for the sleeker design with swords. Though I did find a way to incorporate it into C.R.U.S.H. so I hope I managed to get something good out of it:
You should submit an AI pack with all these rebooted Starcore bots. I bet it'll be the biggest hit!Considering it's Stock it probably wont

less razors
Oh wow both of those are really cool andless razors
where do you think we are?
less razors
where do you think we are?
(crazy idea right?)
Hey, can you release the AI that you were fighting when you were rebuilding the Starcore bots? for instance- I'd like to fight "MagiKK" and "Wipeout."That was INF AI, and you can download it here: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/infiniteinertia%20AI%20v0.1.rar
Also, I think your spinner/popup hybrid is genius.
Also I guess since you mentioned it, holy hell I don't even think most of my starcore rebuilds are even worth discussing anymore. This was back in a time where I didn't know any better. Hell I don't even know if I'm any better now anymore.
do you control redace's life by any chanceQuoteAlso I guess since you mentioned it, holy hell I don't even think most of my starcore rebuilds are even worth discussing anymore. This was back in a time where I didn't know any better. Hell I don't even know if I'm any better now anymore.
You should create an AI pack with these bot designs, but rename and re-texture the bots so they don't look like you're copying the SCAI packs. Also, redesign the teams.

btw that last part seemed like it was more of a demand than a suggestion
First of all, I have made several AI packs in the past, and one is even in stock. Second of all, for the Starcore bots? Let's not at the moment. I will state this until I die, pretty much 90% of my early bots are gone. And even if I were to try to rebuild them all, I wouldn't be proud of it anyway. It's kinda just a personal thing at this point, cause I built most of my Starcore inspired/rebuilds cause I didn't know better, and I felt I needed some starting ground for improvements. You could say that I have been improving from that, but I still didn't quite get a personality for myself. Let's just say I took that hiatus back then for a reason. At this point, if I were to actually make Starcore AI remakes, it would be if he actually got the ball rolling again.QuoteAlso I guess since you mentioned it, holy hell I don't even think most of my starcore rebuilds are even worth discussing anymore.

Uhhhh.....Looks like Super Tempest. Nice build.

This feels more like a proof of concept style of HS than anything really. I guess this was a Mr. Hell bot from Starcore AI V3. An undercutter 24HS. Kinda wanted to keep that style and get the weapons to actually all hit and do some actual undercutting, and give stronger armor. So it has some top and bottom armor, and the plows seem wide enough to not easily expose the wheels. Why this style of weapon formation? Well, Geese actually did this kinda same style for a Bitter Box rebuild a year ago, and wanted to kinda keep the same style for the other bots in the team. Also kinda gives the "Devil's Horns" kinda vibe as well, so I guess that's neat. Also even if I did have the 24 kg, im not entirely sure what exactly I could use beyond at least maybe two casters.
Also side note, the extender work is something I'm kinda iffy on. It took a while to come up with it and get it actually done, but I don't even know if this was my best work as well.
Try a 5ztek, 45 claw HS..I decided to give this a try as well. Was Brainstorming the math at work and just did a simple setup to keep it easy for building.
the challenge comes from doing it with two extenders for weapons but it's still a nice build
that wasn't listed in the quota :cthe challenge comes from doing it with two extenders for weapons but it's still a nice build
knew i was missing something. red ace you cheater
Uhhhh.....

Hey, good to see ya back again man. Sorry to hear about the illness, but here's hoping you feel better soon. But yeah, as far as SCAI rebuilds, I do actually have a good amount of bots rebuilt, and even most of the submissions from the revival Google folders thing from 2-1/2 years ago, mostly to keep the V4 Alpha build pack I have currently up to date. Some are alright from my testing, but others are rather good, but I would like to keep trying to give that spirit of the original bot back somehow. I guess speaking of bots that I have rebuilt, here's the one that took this months Unrealistic section of BOTM:Uhhhh.....

I regularly like what I see for Starcore rebuilds that people (yourself included) do. I know I had a PC failure that helped to cause failed attempt at a Starcore AI V4/5 a few years ago, and I am currently back from sick for weeks and then a 2 1/2 week stay at hospital (had 2 strokes) but when I can get going again I would like to try again to assemble all the good work and updates into an updated Starcore pack. You all are doing wonderful work and would be great to assemble into a full pack again.
