Hey everyone, welcome to my utterly terrible stock showcase, expect nothing above average here.
But with that out of the way I present my first bot, Generic ftw! (Named for obvious reasons)

Just your average MW Popup:

The rests pretty visible

Well, you have done your lurking well enough. But yeah, it's generic.
And how is this trash ? It's pretty decent in fact.

Thanks, but to me everything I make is trash..

Chassis could be tighter so you could possibly get rubbers.

Moar razors.

Very good for a first showcased bot, mice WAS trash. it was an AW SFTW ^^

Looking good! :approve:

Anyway, the bot looks good. ;)

In theory, this only needs a black and a pink battery for all the motors (unless the wedge fires as well, in which case you need a black and a Nifty), or you could just have one black and have underpowered motors, but only by 25 V. (which is not much at all) Is the height the minimum requirement for a Z-tek? You should be able to fit a Z-tek, but not a vertical Snapper2 for the minimum height.
-
Just shrunk the chassis down a bit and added rubbers, will upload a picture now
EDIT: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74820Teh Generic Revamped!.png)
Now with added rubbers
Insides are the same

As a general rule, we use 2 blacks on Stock popups when they have 2WD and two mobile DDT's.

New bot, this time it's a LW.. Anyways here's Danger, Keep Away

-
Reckon that's pretty good.
-
Pretty good design, in my view. If you wanted, you could get the SnapperII with the AI Components in the Downloads tab, and replace the servo with it, that'll save a bit of weight for you. And I can't stack a CB into a Nifty either for some reason, but using the BBEANS Nifty is generally cheating, as it's a custom component. I'd just use the one extender for the weaponry, though, I reckon it could use some defensive measures, such as a plow, which would be even easier to do if you got the SnapperII.
-
oooh old skool lw hs me gusta
-
Please dont use prize parts from BBEANS without winning them.Or showcase with them in same situation.You can move the servo and put cb on that.Or just stack them!Also...,I feel thats a Techno clone,as it was a 6 razor/irons(i forgot.) 1 tribar HS on servo.(or snapper.it was in 2010.)Oh,and snapper 2 is in downloads on front page,which you acsess by clicking the GTM logo.
Theres a small square on it and its a spot to attach stuff to it.
EDIT:Hey,if you want a bit of first blood tournament,Try minor league tournaments.Or when votes come,pick a minor league winner.(I waiting with Destructo Bots.)

Mhmm, I've had a look at your Destructo Bots tournament and I was thinking about entering
EDIT: I do have the AI parts just to let you all know, I also realised I fail with a SnapperII but whatever I'll keep trying
-
LOL my first showcased bot was also a Popup and my second was pretty much exactly the same as yours. XD
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55502screenshot_7.png)
-
Shape reminds me slightly of Tempus Fugit. I think the next step would be to obtain the SnapperII burst motor and learn its secrets. =D
-
Make it symmetrical.
-
It is...
-
I finally managed to get a SnapperII into the bot, I've also added a plow and upgraded to a HP-Ztek for the weapon motor. Danger, Keep Away 2.0:

Only 6 Razors? Should be able to get 9. (Unless you already do!)
-
I'm guessing it's only 6. That .1 annoys me. But still quite nicely built, in my view. I think you could get 9 razors on if you dropped to Plastic, perhaps...

I'll try downgrading to Plastic
-
Try looking at G.K.s bot Zaphod Stock in DoD.
-
Try attaching the HP Z-tek on the SnapperII to make it a srimech.
-
It is on.
Ok,i have a idea,if you want to be offensive,sacrafice your plow and spin the snapperII so the sqaure is facing in.Then attach a hpz on there and make weapons!Also,use bubblemans bubbly glitch for space.You might be able to get a plow on there with the snapper with that,but wasted weight may be calling.If defense,leave as is.

oooo i like this guy
but noobs need to stop giving him "advice"
If you need help learning about the SnapperII and some other awesome tricks of RA2, check out my video tutorials in the tutorials section "RA2: Tips and Tricks" and also the sticked thread at the top of the stock showcases entitled "Various stock tips." You'll improve loads.
also, your bots = nostalgia.

EDIT: Working on a Rupting flipper but I'm having a hard time stacking the Blacks but it should be worth the effort in the end
Blacks are driving me crazy because every time I stack them I end up having to rebuild..... I'll try again tomorrow

Does it rupt well with just the black while both of the drive motors are running?

Relatively well but it could be better
-
Does it not just flip bots as far as you want it to, or is it something else? I'm not sure if that would be a problem with power, but you can try adding more batteries just to experiment and see if it flips better.

It doesn't flip bots as far as I want to to some of the time, I shall add another battery and see if it helps anything

1 Black and a Pink (Just for the sake of it)
The Snowplow is on a Snapper
Rest is pretty easy to make out
-
If you attach your weapons to the back a snapper II and a plow of the front axle you'll save some wight for MOAR WEAPONS.

DSA Armour
You know the drill :P
-
Shrink the chassis sideways a bit, use up the remaining weight (some sort of basic armour, anything will do)
-
I'll get to it then, and before I forget, what's a good drive for a LW popup??
-
Redbird or Z-Tek
-
And if you cannot afford the weight, RAD. If you have weight spare, HP Z-tek.
-
Thanks
-

NO
Too uncontrollable at the weight and or the bot type.

Too slow to have a decent chance against HS.

Why self-depreciation dude ? You aren't an exceptional builder, but you're quite clearly at the level of most people here, and NOT under it.
Hell, you started to showcase way above the average for a starting bot.

Make your chassis smaller than it is. You can also, via snapper loading, remove 2 black extenders and save some weight.
-
He could remove all 3 actually.
-
He could remove all 3 actually.
Yeah, though directly attaching the snowplow to the secondary Snapper II AP if the Snapper II is just next to the chassis wall... is it possible ? I thought the snowplow's mesh ruined it.
-
No, but he will save enough weight for a ramplate. Also, I've seen it done with a snowplow before.

I did manage this once. I must have hit a sweet spot or something, because it's never happened again. But with the position it's on now, he wouldn't be able to attach a ramplate directly, because the Snapper is pointing inwards instead of forwards. He'd have to rotate it around.
Anyone else think it looks a bit like a work-in-progress Tempus Fugit?
-
Time to dust this thing off, I did remove two of the extenders but I wasn't sure what to do with the weight, I made a ramplate version as well but it just spazzed every now and again
But anyways new bot time:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60734Splatter Master.jpg)
Only issue is when it loses a wedge the DDT on the other end of the Snapper spazzes whenever it's fired and becomes a havok mine

Nice skin, and I like it much.
-
How are the wedges?
-
Maybe try something with a unique (but effective) chassis shape? I like the skin, and although it's very good I'm just not feeling it.

How many blacks does it have?

-
Very good for a MW.
-
klone :trollface
-
Good job at getting the Psycolone Popup to work. =] It's a good test of chassis space management, if sacrificing originality entirely.
-
Not quite
I'm pretty sure a Psyc popup needs two wedge extenders to get the wedge perfectly central :/
-
You do, in theory, if he could get the weight for that, it'd be good.
-
Maybe later, I'm staying away from popups for a while, I may however recycle the chassis for an upgrade of my Rupt flipper (Thats what it originally was until I realised that I had the weight for a Pyscolone popup)
-
Using one extender is better IMO as you can have a larger chassis instead(larger chassis=more hp) as the wedge seems to be already central.. Only thing I can say is to setup your weapons like this.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/53520exa.png)
In my experiences it keeps the extenders better protected.
-
Beauty.

You can make an original pyscolone popup! It's just more difficult >.>

Meh, new bot:

Oh and 1 Black, I forgot to add it to the splash.
-
why are the RADS on a anchor?
-
I actually don't know, I was gonna do something else with the anchor but I decided against it but then I couldn't be bother to delete it, i'll go change that now.
EDIT: Updated
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98412When Myths Fade Updated Splash.png)
-
Insides?
-
Pretty much the same as the original splash but instead of RAD's on the BA theres a bracket wedge and the RAD's are on either side
-
IWhat's the bracket wedge for, just out of interest? If it's for invertibility, I can't see it letting the weapons come into play that often.
-
With the original I had some bots driving up the wedges and over the bot so I thought i'd put a bracket wedge there to stop that from happening.
EDIT: I just found out that the bracket wedge prevents self righting if the bot lands in a certain place

By all means, you have rights to build whatever pleases you. I was just saying. If you didn't cloned it on purpose, it's fine.
I'll get the pic in R0B0's showcase soon.
Also underweight...
-
Less drive? To get DSA and more weapons.
-
Actually I don't think less drive would be a good idea... seeing how 1WD bots tend to suck.
also I have found the bot I was talking about on page 2 of R0B0's showcase...

Anyway, solid LW, if somewhat generic. Nothing wrong with that in the case of a LW though.
You've got a lot of spare weight though. Might be worth getting a defensive razor or something as well as the plough.
-
Actually I don't think less drive would be a good idea... seeing how 1WD bots tend to suck.
In what way? They hardly sacrifice much mobility but gain extra weapons/armour
-

I can see plenty of spinup time problems with more weapons which only add to the chances of them being beaten by rammers. Add to that a relative lack of controlled movement (although this is still a dubious subject due to Ai's and the realism of them and the suchlike) and they're just not that much better.
More Armour is fair, but won't provide a considerable advantage.

Compare the movement of bots in my DoD matches. Dark Void 2 often moves faster that its 2WD counterparts.
Anyway, back with the bot, can't you get DSA on that?

Oh, I remember that. I see your point about mobility, however spinup time is still a problem; adding more armour seems like a more obvious advantage than lots of weapons on one HP Z-tek.

Well i'll be damned, nearly been a year already? Well it's time to dust this thing off I guess

Asymmetrical, generic, weirdly skinned, everything you need for my average bot

Nice CB/Nifty stack. Is the wedge any good?
-
it's big
-
It's...big?
Fixed
Anyway the chassis wedge looks like it could use some lengthening. Shorten the wedge or remove a razor if you have to.
-
dont really have a good view of how shallow it is
also alot of empty space with that setup
-
Nice CB/Nifty stack. Is the wedge any good?
Wedge is pretty decent, out wedges the restocked Scout and thats good enough for me
I am aware of the empty space and the steep chassis wedge, I was gonna spend some more time fixing that but the collision meshes decided to not cooperate and not let me put anything where I wanted. Just felt like getting a bot out there as i'm making my return
