Reier's Stock Junk

[090901]

you actually don't need anything to counter balance the blue snapper, you just have to switch tabs and then change the start point of the snapper for it to go back.

yeah i figured that out eventually but it still doesn't make it any less tedious

that's the best part of stock! it's like a really intense puzzle game, with lots of strategy and spatial recognition. plus, the end result is sexy and battles things.

you have't felt pain until you build a 36HS off of a single axle mount... doesn't mean it wasn't my proudest build!

challenge =/= tedium

so do you like tediousness ? does the pain of it all thrills you ?

I love the tediousness. So frustrating, yet so rewarding once you finally get it work. Thats why I stopped playing after Hax mode. It took away the challenge and tediousness.

I wrote this the other night but never bothered posting.

The puzzle of getting an intricate and original bot put together with all the glitches and limited components is what makes stock fun for me. Even then your bot might not even work and you need to figure out the new setup.Once you get the glitches down its easy. I usually never think anything is tedious except rebuilding chassis a million times.


But you also just suck at stacking blacks

Yea i'm actually terrible at it. my BTTB bot has a harder stack though and it's very frustrating

[Reier]

yeah anyway enough bragging about how much of a masochist everyone is

bots i had lying around or quickly whipped up for USA VS FAKE USA 90191091 tourney.


had this one built already, thought itd be interesting to add a flipper or something
but ehhhhhhhhhhhhh I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT:


it flies through the air
like its a sizzlin and a flippin off the grill mmm


i actually sent this one in but 09 was lame and fainted every time he opened it from its sheer awesome so he wouldnt accept it
it has like SO MANY CALORIES IT CAN'T STOP SPAZZING

but in the end i entered a serious (lamer) bot. which you will see soon 

[090901]

some britbong needs to make a flipper since thats the national bot type of their country

and lol nice reier

[RedAce]

I'm lovin' it is a very accurate response right now. Seriously, that is awesome.

[Reier]

oh
baby

like just wow.
there isnt a big enough thong in the world to contain how much butt this thing sucks. must be like circa 2004-5.

can't kill anything
dies super easy
9 foot ground clearance
lost vs mud runner
but o man its got enough batteries to last a nuclear winter

i got this in the bag

[Conraaa]

OK, shows over. We're done here. Nothing can top it. gg guys.

[090901]

but can it beat victor?

[Reier]

the sad thing is no

[Gauche Suede]

there is a reason stock is dying. It's not because designs being perfected or no new glitches are being found or whatever. IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEED THE PATIENCE OF A SLAB OF GRANITE TO PLAY IT

ok so this is my BTTB bot based off GK's first thing. been 5 years more or less since I've played stock, but I remember the glitches.

i ended up just using a chassis that I had lying around because theres no way on earth I'm going to spend a solid 30 minutes MINIMUM to find the single pixel that will let me stack in that second battery. no way.

I don't really hate the glitches, but hot dang are they completely random on how long they take due to axle loading. sometimes you get the axle exactly where you want it on the first try. sometimes it takes like 10 minutes. And you need like 5 on this bot. ughhhhhhhhhhh
also since the blue snapper is so weak you need gay stuff like this to counterbalance it to get it back

this game is so broken. is this REALLY how you want to live your life? using the force to juggle snowplows as you race between components and wiring tabs to give physics a wedgie? I know at this point stock isn't about robot combat but more how to make the most ridiculous killing machine, but friggin come on already. This is too far.

so in the end i get this.

(Image removed from quote.)

completely mediocre result. That's fine, it's more my fault. But it takes WAY too long to figure out if it will be good or not.
and it has AGOD. and it havoks. hours of work ruined by random chance.
screw this.


also heres my bw for redace's thing
it's actually the same bot as this

(Image removed from quote.)

thought about doing a different design cause BW vs suck but I doubt I'll touch stock again for a long time. Ironforge for me baby. At least that one gets the point of the game and isn't tedious as balls.


yes i mad

BFE is legal as long as it looks plausible
