Title: Reier's Stock Junk
Post by: Reier on October 14, 2008, 01:16:15 PM
Even though I like Dsl a lot, I decided to take a break & play stock a little bit. (I'm better at Dsl than stock though.) Anyway, 1st is heavyweight Influenza, splash says it all:

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/stuff/in_splash.jpg)

Probably the lamest HW popup on the face of the planet. I like the look of it though. =P I mainly did it to practice my extender work. 2 DDT's to power the weapon, 1 snapper2 for the wedge (it was the only thing I could fit in there)  1 snapper II for the ramplate on the front & 2 snapper2's for the srimech. It can kill most things, but has trouble with uber spinners like Little Darling. I did come about this -I I- close to killing Vortex CE, though.

#2, Scalpel 2 (sorry, no fancy splash this time):

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/stuff/screenshot_21_2.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/stuff/screenshot_22_2.png)

Nifty batt,
RAD drive with shiny hubs,
Plastic armor,
2 Z-teks & 6 razor tips on 2 tribars.

One of my favorite stock lightweights of all time. <3 The original Scalpel wasn't invertible, so I had to completely remake the drive system. :ermm: The weapons spin inwards, which lets it kill wedges & popups easily...

Enee Kommentz?

Scalpel is good, although you could dump the T and Y connectors by stacking the anchors, and gain some weight.

_________

For your popup, it needs some notable improvement, but it's still not the lamest on the face of the planet (see R1885's showcase).

-Get rid of these small batts ! No pinks on a HW !
-Try to make a weapon powerful enough to act as a srimech, not a separate srimech.
-The reason you get ruined by über stacked HS is that this bot has no efficient armor. See Ideal Tyrant or my PitA.
-Razor tips are better for popups, but you need to hide 'em into your chassis.

Otherwise, i like the messy look of that bot.

Influenza is, frankly, the coolest looking stock robot EVER. Looks pretty powerful too. Not sure about the other one though...

I don't know about all of that, but it is a very original design. Is the bot underpowered in any way?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 14, 2008, 06:15:22 PM
Not really, I use 2 black batts & it seems to work fine as it's only powering 4 HPZs & 2 DDTs.
Thanks a lot, Condor! I wouldn't say it's the coolest ever, but I'm glad you like it.

OH NOES! DP!
(Sorry for the big pic)

I was trying to figure out how to give scalpel better armor, and somehow came up with this:

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/stuff/gatway_splash.png)

Gateway 2. The orignal had MAJOR stability problems, so I had to remake the weapon system because it was too far forward & the wheels couldn't touch the ground. :baby_smily: If I want, I can replace the armor with plastic, and change the Zteks with HP ones to get more power on the weapon. The downside to this is that is drains the batt very fast. :roll: ANYway, it's very destructive, and can kill most popups with ease. Downside is it's a bit unstable during battle. It eats Jubjub bird & poptarts for breakfast. :icon_twisted:
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on October 15, 2008, 04:49:22 PM
i bet the 12 kgs you spent on putting the drive in would be more then just putting them in a bigger chassis.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 15, 2008, 05:23:39 PM
You're right. I'm a moron, I never think of these things. =P

Edit: it works fine normally, but if I do like the other one & change the armor to plastic & put on HPZs, it puts me over the weight limit. Ah, well. =/ Sages way does keep my drive from getting ripped off, though. =)

Soree for zee dp.
My first decent MW popup, so be easy on me :biggrin: :

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_38_2.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_39_2.png)

2 HPZ drive w/ shinys,
2 DDTs w/ 4 razor tipz each,
DSA
1 black batt.

The snowplow is sort of to keep away other bots from the chassis. It's a cannibal, no other S3 popup stands a chance. :icon_twisted:

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_37_2.png)

I have about 16 kgs left, but I can't figure out where to put it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. =)
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on October 17, 2008, 02:51:06 PM
wow! you keep getting better. very small empty space, powerful, good wedge.
i think the best thing you can do with the weight it to put rubber wheels on instead of shinies. lower ground clearance, less of a target.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 17, 2008, 04:05:18 PM
Nice.

I was going to say the same thing about rubbers, and try to get that snowplow lower, possibly overlapping it by attaching it to the snapper 2.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 17, 2008, 04:06:58 PM
That pretty much hits the nail on the head. You really are getting very good.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 17, 2008, 04:09:04 PM
Woot! 100 posts!

Thanks, Guys! I tries Sage's & Nar's Suggestions with the rubbers, and it works great.

My 2nd (Currently only) decent MW S3 worthy HS:
Presenting- "Ihavenoideawhatyouaretalkingabout"! <--(Really, that's its name.)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_40_1.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_41_2.png)

Black batt,
Rad drive,
2 HPZ powered tribars with 9 razor tips each, making a total of 18,
Dsa I think.

It's dangerous. Popup killer. It self-rights the same way Tempis Fugit does (it rotates it's weapons in the same way, thus rotating it's body). Even though "IHNIWYATA" is little on the slow side, but makes up for that with it's damage potential.

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/Stock/screenshot_42_2.png)

Pretty good. I would attach the moters differently to make it invertable. Then attach the razors like you would triple irons. It would do more damage.

edit: I think you can shrink the chassis a bit.

Do you mean GenericP or IHNI?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 18, 2008, 11:21:10 AM
Both, perhaps.

Anyways, being on the forum since one month and building like that is more than good.

You'll be a good builder in no time.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on October 18, 2008, 12:36:03 PM
Is that a DSL snowplow? Or did you just paint it silver?

You have alot of talent. Keep up the good work. The only thing I would do with the HS is attach the HPZteks in a different way to make the bot invertible and remove that spike up top and use the weight for more weapons or defence somewhere.

I actually have the invertible part figured out already. I want to double the spikes on the end of the tribars (Little Darling) but I can't cause of the rule of 7. :ermm:
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on October 19, 2008, 01:48:44 PM
when building an HS off a snapper or a servo, you can only use one extender to connect the motor, or you will go over the rule of seven. basic HS guideline.

I've been going through this stock LW fad, and I've come up with a generic chassis design that seems to work well on many of my robots.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75242bob2.PNG)

I usually open up the chassis, and start building. It works for a lot of designs especally spinners, but not so good for popups or hammers. It's invertible, and has DSA. The chassis weighs something like 119 kgs.
It would be great if ELBITE was stock LW. =P

I'm way better at DSL than stock.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Urjak on November 12, 2008, 06:33:56 PM
Yeah, that chassis designs leaves space for the drive on the side, then place for a snapper or baseplate connector, then leaves just enough room for a red batt.

yes, we can see that.

you could minimize the chassis. remember the axles CAN go through the chassis, so minimize right up to the motor.

That bot in the bottom left looks... strangely familiar... Hmmm.... Has anybody ever seen a bot like this before? I know I've seen it somewhere, I just can't remember the name.

Nah, its cool. I know its a generic design, but its a killer if you know how to drive it. That long reach can really work to your advantage.

I think it would be better wth double irons (MPGW clone), and the side hammer one with 2 razors rather than 1 spike strip.

My very feeble attempt at a HW HS:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89547DN1.PNG)

31 irons , the middle 2 HPZs have 9 each, the outer 2 have 6, and there's one on the back for a little defence.
It's invertible, but has...plastic armor. XD
I've also programmed it to "Hind-Kick":

No one here could build a HS off 2 normal snappers. (Besides me). (and probably some other guys like Inf, Pysc, r0b0... but im not sure. its pretty tricky)

the servos are used to hold two of the weapon motors.


good job on the snapper loading on the green snappers Reier...

Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on November 20, 2008, 04:27:21 PM
No, it only has 1 black. =( I stink at stacking anything other than pinks or baseplate anchors. I'm trying to give it shiny hubs and see if it does any better.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on November 20, 2008, 04:34:19 PM
have you ever stacked a black batt?

this bot's not as good as it seems then... needs two blacks to be fully worthy of the title of Elite HS. and there's lots of empty space too. even with shiny hubs you wont have enough weight for another black battery. time for a V3.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on November 20, 2008, 04:46:25 PM
Yeah I can stack blacks, I just didn't have the weight. Is there a special technique for stacking snapperIIs?

Not true, width has nothing to do with grip.  Grip/traction is nothing more than a single number in the txt file.

As long as it's already invertible, there's no need for Grannies.  The only thing you can do to that bot now is make the drive motors closer to the center, so they're harder to knock off.

2 blacks, DSA, invertible.
I'm going to trim the chassis a bit more in a future version, & I think that will give me enough weight to put Grannies on.

I'm by far not great at stacking Blacks, but I'm getting better. Like Sage said, you just need practice.

I'd say the order of easiest to hardest of stacking is:

Pinks->anchor on CB->snapperIIs->CB in nifty->Black batts.

Post by: Clickbeetle on March 14, 2009, 05:28:45 PM
Awesome bot.  I love how you did the wheel guards.  Much more important on a rammer than on most other bots.

How does it drive though?  In my experience, bots with drive on Snappers are hard to control.

You can get weight for a wedge if you get rid of one of those Supervolts.  2 Supervolts is overkill for a 4WD rammer.  You can easily get by with just 1, or even a Nifty if you have to.  (My MW 4WD rammer Tyrantula runs on 1 Nifty).
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on March 14, 2009, 07:30:47 PM
Where should I put the wedge?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 14, 2009, 09:35:14 PM
Well first you would need to make the chassis bigger.  I would suggest extending a portion of the rear so you can scoot the battery back and make room for a vertical Snapper 2 between the baseplate anchors and the battery.  (But keep the Snapper II's in the same place so the wheel guards still cover the wheels.)  30 kgs... actually that wouldn't be enough to do all that.  You would need to switch to a Nifty to get weight for the chassis extension, burst, and wedge.

Better keep the original version as backup if you do that.

"what can i do to improve this?"
"OH JUST ADDZ A WEDGE"

try doing it one tribar at a time (3 maces at a time).

like put 3 maces on one thing, and then go to garage.

other than that, just deal. maces do that. its really hard to not have it do that.

It has a burst motor attached to the motor (it actually makes it spin faster).

If a motor is connected to a burst motor, it will spin a bit faster.

the back connection point of snapper IIs do the burst enhance.
burst enhance is when a spin motor is connectid to a burst or servo motor it makes the spin motor more powerfull.

does it use snapper loading?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on May 09, 2009, 02:24:39 PM
Axle/snapper loading, yeah. To get the HPZ on.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 09, 2009, 03:43:06 PM
Yeah, you started with just the burst motor,  added the HPZ and the control board, snapper loaded it, and while the HPZ was frozen in space you added everything else... however it must have been a pain to build this, seeing that the HPZ always comes back when you put a motor.

but i cant get how did you added BOTH of the HPZ and control board.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 09, 2009, 03:46:31 PM
Maybe he stacked the control board in the bat and snapper loaded the HPZ?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 09, 2009, 04:02:41 PM
What i'm talking about is that to snapper load the HPZ he needs the control board, the snapper and the HPZ.

I really don't see how he fitted the control board on the chassis after the snapper and HPZ being placed... or maybe he turned the motor upside down (axle of the HPZ facing down) and stacked the control board in the HPZ's axle - i'm pretty sure you can do this.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on May 09, 2009, 04:34:17 PM
Nope. I put the CB & snapper in the empty chassis, and put a RAD on the "neck AP" and glitched it out. Then I put the HPZ on, and it retracted, making the RAD go back, and the HPZ fly out. Then I did the drive, batt, & CB, and went to the test garage, and taa-daa.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 09, 2009, 04:37:25 PM
I was on about how he might have stacked the control board in the battery first, but I'm wrong because you need to snapper load the HPZ before you add the bat, right?
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on May 09, 2009, 04:37:56 PM
HPZ 1st. I'm pretty sure it's impossible with this setup to put in the battery first.

Post by: Naryar on May 18, 2009, 01:52:08 PM
No no, you didn't cloned Bounty Hunter well enough...

Your wedge sucks because there is weight behind the drive train that will act as counterweight and cancel some of the weight you have on the wedges, and you need a steeper wedge for a good caster armor.

I think.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase

Put your drive behind AND farther from the snappers and bring your razors towards the front of your bot.

Small, compact, narrow wedged Popups like that fail HARD if you are using a two wedge system. You would be better off using one long wedge on that bot.

I dont think it's really like Bounty Hunter, just his rendition of a HW caster armored popup. There are many; I built Severe and Wipeout, Pysc had Spite (V?) and Bounty Hunter, Nary has PitA(8), and lets not forget that Clickbeetle has the *fantastically* built Heroic Sacrifice.

MW dual VS: Ok, but always flips backwards. Wedges aren't very awsome.

BW trinity SnS: Does lots of damage, but has lost every single match! Why? Piston always falls off.

AW: =P Just for fun, never expected it to be good.

MW single VS: I had high hopes for this one, and I still want it to work, I might redo it. Anyway, it's just average. Despite having four (!) snowplows, if you hit the extender in the middle, the wedge & whole left side falls off. In addition, motor is exposed, & wedge it average.

Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 09, 2009, 07:44:11 PM
Autops[E] is great.  You've almost got a Heaven's Sawmill-type plow wedge going there!  The only potential weakness I see is if some bot got under the plows and hit those extenders.  But I think you would need the chassis at ground level with internal drive in order to fix that.

And Lobotomy... that looks good enough to beat some LW's.  If it's "much more dangerous than it looks" then it must be very dangerous indeed.

Easy way to save weight: use a T connector instead of a disc.  You're only using 2 connection points on the disc anyway.  That will get you 10 kgs, which is enough to upgrade to iron spikes, which will compensate for the reduced diameter of the T connector.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on August 09, 2009, 07:49:07 PM
Thanks for the compliments.

About Lobotomy-That was actually one of my ideas. I guess great minds think alike. :mrgreen: ianh05 sent me the splash for ARRBCCRBACGCthing a while back and ACAMS's LW is set up the same way. Will the reach be enough you think? Another idea that might not work is taking out the anchor and using an extender, but IDK if that'll be long enough. Last one is just rebuilding the chassis.
Title: Reier's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 09, 2009, 08:15:44 PM
If the reach isn't long enough with irons you can use razor tips on 20cm extenders or something.  If it's too big then you could attach them to the T connector by the side attach point, or raise the motor.  I'm sure there's several ways to do it.

Could you just put the spikes on the other side? Actually, never mind, you'd need a complete rebuild. You could try moving the motors around a bit. Even if you can't get it to work, it's a cool looking bot.

Try angling down some spikes like on Volcano Strike, unless they already are. I can't tell at all. If that doesn't work I would try to get Grannies on there somehow. It normally works for me when it just won't go straight.

Post by: somestrangeguy on August 14, 2009, 05:18:32 PM
I also read that rotating the wheels when attaching them reduces spinning, and I treid it and it really worked!

So if yor bot starts to turn left, you rotate left side wheels Anti Clock Wise or right side wheels Clock Wise. If that made it turn even worse to the direction it went already, then rotate them to the other direction.

You could use snapper loading to place the green snappers closer together in the front and you can narrow the front of the bot more, but that is the only suggestion i can think of.

How many razors do you have there? If there are any more than 4 total, just use a lighter setup to hold them on.

If not, attach the green snappers onto the blue ones and shorten the chassis (heightwise).

About the bot itself, 2 blacks of course, 12 irons, and a small ramming rack for protection/last resort if the main weapon gets torn off. The middle weapons also protect the motors. The weapons aren't burst enhanced but IDK if it would make it better or worse.

Looks interesting. It msy just be the low weight that causes it to havok like that. Also don't use T Connectors, they're not very good. Once you put some weapons and shizz on, it should become much more stable, a bit like how Puncture II havoks like crazy without its weapon rack.

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.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19841gk3.png)

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 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=1111.msg58689#msg58689)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37189bw1.png)

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

the amount of time i wasted snapper loading and re-snapper loading... and re-snapper loading just to get the positioning on my BTTB just right. and now I have to rebuild it to shave .08kg off the chassis so i can spend two hours figuring out if theres enough space to stack another black battery in

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.

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!

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 ;)
