I guess some sort of Halloween themed bot?

 
BloodShedIII.png


So this is an update to the two year old bot that is nearly identical to this, but improved significantly from last time (or at least I hope so since I actually lost the bot file in the sands of time).  Much more proud of how it has an airtight chassis and blade guards this time.  Hell, it's almost a combination of version 1 and 2 looking back.  Seems to out-wedge Seism 13 and R4 from time to time, but still takes a few tries at times, but that's what the adjustable wedges are for.  Also the skin is rather cool looking.  Not gonna lie, the traditional red skin and blood edges were getting kinda generic.  Kinda wanted to make the theme of this series of bots, "Generic designs with a small twist", hopefully.

Wow! that bot's smaller than Seism 13! I like how you added blades to the wedges and crammed everything in as tight as possible. Well done bot.

I also like how you added a different blood theme to the bot. The bloody drips style is kind of...well...old and repetitive.

So with BOTM out of the way...



Things I forgot to mention in splash: 2 Supervolts, 2 Airtanks, and 16 razors (I think?) total.

I mean, I certainly didn't expect to win it this time, due to how, well simple it looks.  This has certainly been done before, and I really thought I would be out of the running for this because of that.  I originally thought the poker part is slightly outclassed due to the popup weaponry, but to my surprise, it has come in handy from time to time.  The wedges seem to be rather well, and is slightly weak against spinners due to the armor.  I might make a newer version that has a smaller chassis, less razors (crazy idea right?) and a snapper setup to fit such.  And it might even look cooler.

Also...

For the challenge thing against Pip.  Wedges are surprisingly good.  Seems to out-wedge G4W from time to time and if it does get in a stalemate, then the razor cutters can cut the wedges or scoop the bot on the popup aspects.  Gotta love RAD Spinners :D.  It isn't too special, but it does look cool with the armor, so there's something I guess.

Yow. Those are some devastating bots. I  should try HW popups with piston-powered razors.

Also, I think your spinner/popup hybrid is genius. See if you can add more batteries because DDTs and RADs combined require mass amounts of power to be able to deliver maximum damage.

you could probably just make the chassis wider and put the pistons inbetween the battery and hpz, doubt it would weigh more since you would be cutting out like 22kgs of snapper and extender work.

also your chassis wedges arent shallow enough and arent wide enough and it makes me want to hurt myself

The main objective of hardcore bot building is to give a bot as many weapons as possible.

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."

Also, did you use the original stacking method to get motors to cross batteries?

That was INF AI, and you can download it here: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/infiniteinertia%20AI%20v0.1.rar

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.
You kids all outclass me in a lot of ways these days in more categories than one.  ._.

You should also fight the PYS AI pack with your new bots.

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.

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.

Still I think you should make a starcore-like AI pack with bots you completely made up. You already built the ReStocked AI pack, which is really good, but the bots use pre-existing names.

I'm not forcing you to do it, but I think your creativity could show even more with another fully made-up AI pack.

Okay now for an idea I had in my idea for maybe a week.

24hs.png


Not bad, as it seems to pin down and war of attrition Maelstrom and Spin Doctor and seems to wreck both of those fine, but any kind of Mace HS boils down to luck.  Popups or anything else that can get under and gut-rip is kinda a crap-shoot as the caster armor occasionally protects it, but it seems to be okay the other times.  More or less a concept that I hope it would work, but it seems to, but kinda not as good as I hoped.

I like it. Weapon stoppers and HS make a deadly mix.

Happy (American) Thanksgiving GTM.  Here's a bot:

bandersnatch.png


A Stock MW Hammer.  Not many details to go over but I am rather satisfied of how well it turned out.  Really good at trapping and if it gets ahold, then the results just speak for themselves.  The only thing this isn't so good at is self righting which hasn't quite been a problem as it doesn't flip itself over as much as some of my older hammers.  Yeah, it's got the skin from Bandersnatch, as evident by the obviously, poorly cropped image I took from the old bot (I'll have to redo the skin eventually).

Thanks. I like your bot, too. LW hammers are a fun build.
