Title: Shield's failcase Stock style
Post by: Shield on May 01, 2013, 06:00:54 AM
Alright, so, wasn't quite sure what to make in stock, so made this.

I was trying to build a Nightmare replica but it quickly got out of hand.

Learn from this tutorial at first :
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm)

Don't make replicas in stock, and don't build IRL in stock.

As for this bot :
Use only DSA or plastic armour for your bots, stock armours sux anyways, so you will need to attach some components for a more protection of the chassis in stock;
1 black batt is enough to power the whole bot, so get rid of the others;
Don't use ballasts, they just waste weight;
Always make the chassis airtight and the smallest possible;
Always build up to the weight limit (800 for this one);
Protect the wheels more, and you could use a lighter and a smaller wheels;
You need more weapons on this bot, if you want to have a chance;
Get the "Starcore V1" and test your bots vs. the bots from that pack.

But generally, not that bad for a start, listen to the advices, and you will become good in no time, you have some talent.

Yeah, and there you will drop the soap very often.

No one is forcing him, but the original stock game is for an uber stacking/compacting now, we have the DSL for IRL, so your comment is more like a spam.

Instead of being sarcastic maybe you should explain why venko shouldn't give valid advice that is essentially laden with propaganda ? Right now your post isn't helping, and Venko is pretty much right. Next time i will do more than just speaking.

Don't make replicas in stock, and don't build IRL in stock.

Dude, let him choose and build what style he wants. Showcase advice and criticism is not for ordering around people.

OK, the next idiot who does any flaming or insulting in there will be muted as soon as possible.

I don't care if you argue and I already tire of keeping bad posting out of this showcase, so just keep it civil if you want to discuss venko's opinions.

I was hardly going '**** you dumb *** ur wrong lol'.

It's a nice robot, considering the limitations of stock, Venko tried to turn him off doing stuff like it, and then I'm the one who gets warned?  :ermm:

Your post may not have been very insulting, but all you did was bringing fuel to the fire. How do you think venko and others would have reacted to it ? With more aggression.

You did nothing to add to the conversation, you just attacked another member. We disagree with venko, yes, and he was wrong to post that; hardly a reason to insult him. This kind of posting only stokes emotions and adds agression to arguments, leading to flame wars. THIS is why I do not want posting like this.

Don't play the innocent... because you're not. Now stop posting like that, before I actually ban you.

You still completely disregard context and post more flame bait ? Did you even read what I said and how I explained my mute instead of aggravating other people like you seem to love doing ?

Fine, if you want to play that way... Enjoy your new mute buddy.

Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: Venko on May 01, 2013, 08:15:46 AM
At least, I'm the only one with any BUILDING advices here, for now...

P.S. : Stuff that I forgot.
Usually, crop your images only to the bot, and only post for us the armour type and the weight.
When I said "don't build IRL", I just wanted to inform you that 99% of the stock builders around don't build IRL in stock, that was my reason.
If you have serious intentions in stock, the most important thing is to download the "Starcore V1" http://www.starcore.gametechmods.com/download.php?id=SC_AIPackV1.0.zip&url=/ (http://www.starcore.gametechmods.com/download.php?id=SC_AIPackV1.0.zip&url=/) and get owned, only this will lead to a significant improvments of your stock skills.
And one last advice, if a lots of users give you different opinions (even an oposite), to find the truth look for the colourful accounts, don't listen at general to people that registered yestarday and didn't win anything, check who are the last months "Bot Of The Month" winners (the maker of the pic on the front page) for example, who have tournament wins, and other stuff as well...

tl; dr: "90% of the forum knows nothing"

Advice so I don't get muted: I like the bot, but I'm pretty sure you have too many batteries. 1 black and 1 nifty should be enough IIRC, but then again I haven't built anything in stock for almost a year so yeah
Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: Naryar on May 01, 2013, 08:22:13 AM
actually Venko i'm pretty sure 1 black is borderline for that bot, and that he should get 1 black + 1 nifty.

Shield, you also need some side protection - i suggest ramplates in front of the wheels.

but otherwise all of venk's advice is good. For adding more weapons, add more extenders on your spinner.
Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: Venko on May 01, 2013, 08:34:42 AM
This bot will be destroyed, way before it run out of power, so 1 black is OK IMO.

Also, I have a question for Nar :
This showcase - no interest, no one posted;
Venko posted for once a "clean post" - instantly a lots of posts followed (probably seeking for a flame war).

WHY
Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: ianh05 on May 01, 2013, 08:40:46 AM
You are too direct, people aren't ever going to like being told what to do. If you want to avoid flame wars try a different approach.

I asked S.H.I.E.L.D to start this showcase actually cause I seen potential in him from the looks of his AW.
Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: Naryar on May 01, 2013, 08:48:42 AM
Because overall, we don't like to force newbies into one direction. Posting "no you should not build in this style, but in this other style" is taboo, for a good reason IMO.

I do not know if it was your intention or if your words were to be taken carefully, but it certainly seemed like you were ordering this newb around. So we reacted.

instantly a lots of posts followed (probably seeking for a flame war)

You must be joking... You know how merciless I am on flame wars in showcases. Why would anyone come here to flame people and then promptly get whacked by me ?

Besides, only one of the posters has been flamewar-ish, and he has paid to it.
Title: Re: S.H.I.E.L.D's failcase Stock style
Post by: Venko on May 01, 2013, 08:55:11 AM

This is a good thing IMO, I don't like hypocrites or people that hide behind masks.
people aren't ever going to like being told what to do.
I was giving only advices, I didn't tell to anyone "what MUST do".
If you want to avoid flame wars try a different approach.
IMO, I didn't start anything here, so no need for a "different approach", I won't change from "too direct", only due to some people on the net...
I will call, that due to past problems, people now see problems in my posts, even when they don't exist.
I explained my reason about the "NO IRL" advice, most people don't do it, so I don't see how offering the 99% is a problem.
Good Mod. reactions from Nar BTW, I will cut down the spam now, and wait for the next bot from this guy.

That I will agree with.

You posted "don't build IRL in stock" in red letters. Seemed like telling someone what he must do to me.

I will call, that due to past problems, people now see problems in my posts, even when they don't exist.

Some people just don't like your posting style.

I'm fine with it most of the time, except you seem to attract trouble wherever you post.

although you are free to build as you please, almost NOBODY plays IRL stock. vainilla AI-esque designs died out in the mid 00's

the AW doesnt look too bad. you should try using 2 round extenders (NOT SQUARE EXTENDERS) in a L formation and attaching 3 razor tips to it.
you have the right idea to use 2WD on the underweight LW, since 4wd [anything that isnt HPZs]. i would recommend using 2 pinks or a nifty for this also.

I only build stock IRL when I'm bored  :gawe:

I still have an almost unstoppable (Has beaten the whole roster of Starcore 3, except Mome Rath, Alien Queen and SHW-alligator to name a few) gut ripper.

Sadly I left it in a pendrive that I now cannot find.

For the second one, you could cut a few KGs by using the round extenders instead of square ones.

OK then, if you feel ready for "SC 3" or other pack. But you know what they say... Pic or didn't happen, about this "SC 3 ownage" you make.
If this on the BW is a titan armour, upgrade to DSA.
And crop your pics, you are wasting people's bandwidth.

Less side armor, more front armor.

Static wedges are weak.

also, this needs more weapons.

I don't need any battleshots. But you will hardly convince me, that this thing is owning the whole starcore (you said 3 ?) hard... I'm not retarded you know, plus I built from a LONG time in stock and know a lots of small details, which are usually unknown to most people... It's a light years away from a proper popup. But if you follow the tutorials, instead of trying to convince me of something that is not true, it can become a good bot.

And BTW, there is a way to fix that buttons, it's not due to a lame PC. And PAINT runs well on any PC, even on a PC from the '90s... Just don't take us for stupid, we are not.

Why would you assume that I'm calling you stupid? And the buttons are a result of trying to get RA2 from some torrent site after failing to extract RA2 from the ZIP file.

And how has this bot taken on most of SC3 and won?

Get the game from here :

It's patched and the buttons are fixed, if you have ANY problems to run it from here, then the reason for them will be sitting in front of your PC !
And how has this bot taken on most of SC3 and won?
I don't know. It just has.
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 !

I can say that it's a SC2-level popup. And being a SC2-level popup, it can trash more than 2/3 of the SC3 bots.

It's not lame, but it's not good. But it's not like you need a really good bot to trash most of SC3 AI.

So please stop overreacting, Venko.

Maxed out resolutions and it's still not fixed. The problem is that this version of the game was downloaded in a torrent account. Can't download the patched version either because the com won't extract the files.

Pwn, I know what I'm speaking. Overreacting is considering this bot as a SC2 level popup.

Shield, put that bot on the bot exchange, if you don't afraid of course... This is the only way to clear all this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I'm not sure about the batteries, another more experienced member can tell you that.
However, there is a lot of empty space in that chassis. By stacking the black batteries and just generally reducing space you could get those redbirds up to HPZ drive.

For the Rammer, you shouldn't be using redbirds with HPZs. Also, use just one wheel type, it makes it simpler. And you can reduce that chassis a fit on a bit more weapons. Other than that, nice bots. :)

Weight issues. I'll try shrinking the chassis if I can.

Thanks. Different wheel types were due to the front wheel and middle wheel lifting the back wheels off fthe ground, rendering them dead weight.

Most of the time, DDT wedges are better than green snapper wedges, which are better than blue snapper wedges.

You should put razors on 2 DDTS. 4 razors per DDT is the most you should use.

You can sacrifice some of the chassis weight if you go with a Pyscolone like chassis design. By that, I mean you can remove some of the central back part, and try to fit in 4 HPZ's in the gaps.

A little like this:

wheel l      l wheel
wheel l      l wheel
          l l l l l
          l l l l l

It's lopsided, but you get the idea.

popup: too many razors, as 4 razors is optimal for one ddt although you can get away with 5 or 6. wedges seem a bit too narrow for my tastes, but other than that is decent

hs: a small chassis works best for nearly all hses. reduce empty space as much as possible, and learn how to snapper load/effe glitch/something so you don't have to place a whole ztek on the baseplate

vs: you can get rid of the empty space on this one too. i would suggest using discs instead of tribars to lower the center of gravity

hammer: hammers are only good for taking out hses and rammers, and looking at yours it'll have a hard time beating either. tighten up the chassis, add a wedge or two, and put the snowplows in a v shape for trapping purposes. the hammers can be curved more too

On that heavyweight you're going to want to mount the snappers vertically. It apparently makes the wedges better.

no
thats pretty much pointless since he would have to redo the whole chassis and its never been proven that mounting snappers like that helps the wedge

the APs on the blue snapper that arent the axle itself are like servos, and will always rotate to their starting position. It can be a good or bad thing depending on how you use it.

So yeah man, there isn't anything you can do about it.

got a bit of weight to play with. not enough to add more motors, too much to leave untouched either.

i considered adding castor armor since that's actually been monumentally helpful for i hate kids but idk

thoughts?

It depends on whether you want to stick to the non-invertible weapon setup, and if you want the drive to remain static or not.

Either way, you should try to stack the CB into the battery and you could mount the plow on the extender holding the bottom motor. If you want the drive to remain static, you wouldn't be able to shrink the chassis by much although you might have enough weight for 2 static razors or something.

If you want to mount the drive onto the snapper, maybe have a T-connector go down from the top extender (although I'm not sure if that would be invertible). If you do manage to pull this off, you can have a much smaller chassis and still have enough weight for casters and such.

Alright that looks like a bad idea so you should either revert to a static drive or find another way to mount the drive onto the snapper (maybe try mounting it on the top arm instead?).

Those exposed weapon motors are just begging to be knocked off.

It is mounted on the top arm

Bottom arm is too high, so wheels wont touh the ground

You're using grannies anyway, so that shouldn't matter. Try mounting an extender on the middle of the snapper (with the 2 APs facing up), then another extender parallel and on top of it, then a T connector going down from that extender. That might be low enough for shinies.

I could've sworn you've built this bot before, anyway lose the rubbers or some weapons to get more battery, you need at least another Nifty (500+500+100+100 or 312.5+312.5+100+100 by motor drain measure). Then if you still have weight, you can try a blade on the wedge, casters, or an anchor with an ear. Also, try turning around the green snapper and using a 140cm with snapper loading to see if it saves you some weight and extends the wedge a bit more.
