Shield's failcase Stock style

[Naryar]

OK, enough of this.

as pwn stated, this isn't a good popup but there are far worse popups.

[Venko]

I still want this bot on the bot exchange to test it, and see for myself. I'm expecting a link. What is wrong with that?

[Naryar]

all you are having in there is an ego contest which is borderline flaming.

If you were posting good advice you wouldn't be using these kind of sentences :

If you consider a very few retards as "most people"...

But I know, you are arrogantly lying me directly in my face. Not only ~90% of the HW bots in SC3 will own your a** hard, but even some MWs will

dude you complain about bad posting but that is borderline bad posting, not to mention the insulting of several members.

You can be honest and brutal without attacking other people like that.

[Venko]

OK, here are the solutions :
I will never give any advice or speak with this guy again. So this is my last post here, ever...
But if he is even slightly a man, he will upload that bot, or I will consider - he is afraid, that the others will found out the truth.

I think you're getting SC3 confused with the SC4 beta, Venko.

also I think you have no idea how bad your reputation is...

[Naryar]

To clarify : newb has told he could destroy most of SC3 because he flanked most of the wedges.

also I think you have no idea how bad your reputation is...

and I think you have no idea how useless your post is.

If that's the case, you need to AI your bots Shield to make it a fair fight between your bots and the other AI bots. AI bots never attempt to flank human controlled opponents which makes it an unfair match-up.

You know how to AI now so I suggest AI'ing your bots in the future to test them out in fair fights.

I can't get Mad's smart zones to work, they don't show up in the components.

After a long hiatus from stock, i'm back. Redesigned SFTW. Also my Tusslers 3 entry. If anyone wants to team that is.

[Paranoia]

Insides, if possible please?

There seems to be a lot of empty space in the bot. You could downgrade the drive to RADs so you can downsize the Chassis and allow for more weight for weapons. Also, in my opinion, a tribar would be a more viable choice for a HS.

I wanted to pay homage to SFTW, large chassis, Alu armor, and hub wheels. I couldn't use the Chewblade because... It sucked. But I still wanted a disc so...

Alright, though this will probably reduce the combat-effectiveness of the bot in the tournament.

I didn't say I wanted to build the next Childs Play now did I? As long as it looks ok, I'm good.

Clearly chassis isn't tall enough to be SFTW.

It's the South East cousin of SFTW. Asians are supposed to be short.

Made a couple of bots. I really need to brush up on my stock skills.

Spiderbite: Ditch the pinks and grannies, get a nifty and shinies and upgrade the weapon motors. 
Cautionary Point: If you're aiming for a 36HS, then I suggest doing some more research (snapper loading is a must-know in order to build them). Not too bad though.
Hurricane: Since this is a HS, you should probably focus less on armor and more on weapons. Get rid of the plows and a black (you could just use a nifty for this if you wanted to), minimize empty space and get a lot more weapons.
Hurricane Evo: Use shinies, ditch extra armor and the wedge and get more weaponry.
Box with Spikes: Change wheels to shinies, use one or two blacks and get either more motors or more weapons to fill up the leftover weight.
No Name: Put the wedges on burst motors, change wheels to rubbers and if you have enough weight left over, see if you can get any front protection.

I see potential in you, be sure to keep building. Just remember though, stock typically takes a lot more patience than DSL. It took me more than a month to finish my first 36HS.

Spiderbite: Don't have enough space to squeeze in a more powerful motor.
Cautionary Point: What's snapper loading?
Hurricane: If I add anymore weapons the motor won't spin fast enough
Hurricane Evo: Alright.
Box with Spikes: The weapons are heavy to the point it keeps tipping. Might make it a spinner/rammer hybrid though.
No Name: How do you put ramplates on wedges so neatly? Like Seism 13 did?
