Heh, it's been over a year I've posted in this thing...

Was lookin on my HD and I found this old clunker I made a while back. So I gave it a name and whammo.

Never been tested so it probably stinks. I do like how it looks though.

cheeeeeerz

I find it hilarious that you decided to post it after sending it to me XD

Actually doesn't look that bad, I reckon. I'd spin the weapons round 180 degrees to get the weapons nearer to the middle, personally.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #264 on:** January 27, 2011, 02:20:22 PM »

they're chained actually, if he spins the weapons around they'd be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outside the bot XD

I could still probably make em closer together but I lack motivation

NFX · « **Reply #266 on:** January 27, 2011, 02:22:43 PM »

I did notice they were chained. If he tries something similar to R0B0's MW Trov VS, he could get them closer to the middle.

~~Or I could just take out the anchors and put them closer together~~

Edit - grahhh I haven't played this in ages, I guess it won't work.

Not bad! Drive setup is a little messy but still looks good.

Reier · « **Reply #269 on:** January 27, 2011, 03:40:36 PM »

Heh I built it at LEAST a year ago

All you need is a quick 1 notch to the front. Maybe...

Axle loading.

Sage · « **Reply #272 on:** January 27, 2011, 06:30:13 PM »

Notice the black extender connecting the two Hpzteks. One ztek on the left side is attached to the baseplate anchor and turn towards to the right, has a extender on it, and then the other ztek is attached to it. He axle loads it out of the way, and then put thes the other baseplate anchored ztek on.

Was turning out fine I suppose untill I drove it and it was one of those havok 24/7 bots.

I could put maces on and ditch the T connector with some axle loading but I was lazy and it wouldn't be worth it anyway. CB stacked in nifty of course.

NFX · « **Reply #274 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:22:50 AM »

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.

Reier · « **Reply #275 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:24:36 AM »

Whaaaatever then I'll do it later.

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.

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

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

Reier · « **Reply #278 on:** June 23, 2015, 12:30:26 PM »

don't bother

This is my hopes and dreams for RA3. Give me a game where IRL style bots are actually the best pls.
