You've got 115kg to play with. Upgrade the drive motors, change the wheels to shinies, give it a wedge/wedges, lots more weapons and some armour.

Also, when we tell you how to improve a bot, don't just go and make a new one, act on what we say. And crop the pictures.

well, that bot is old
EDIT:
MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

What I said still applies.

I don't get the point of building to the weght limit, I have bots 100 kg below that slaughter emergancy in less than 20 sec.

S32 will hate me but I don't care.
Sparky, EMERGENCY isn't really as tough as you think. Get Starcore and then we'll see how good it is. Then you will see why you need more weapons.

G.K. · « **Reply #65 on:** January 08, 2010, 02:35:33 PM »

did you even listen to me Sparkey?

Don't keep posting new bots, make improvents to the ones that you have showcased. You'll never improve if you post a new bot every time one of us gives a piece of advice.

That is true about the stock AI, but facing off against stuff like NWB and AC with underweight bots will not end well. Put as many weapons on as you can.

sorry, let me post this than I'll stop
this is the one that kills E in less than 20 sec. this is his his 6th incarnation

I know slims suck, but it does not mater for ths guy

Huge amounts of empty space, you could have 4 spinners if you did it correctly. Pistons next to useless, and do downgrade to grannies or shinies. I'm presuming this uses DSA.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #68 on:** January 08, 2010, 03:41:42 PM »

You can make a MUCH smaller chassis, get rid of the pistons and one black, and use DSA. Oh, and use shinies or grannies.

This guy reminds me of Halitosis (Reier)

G.K. · « **Reply #69 on:** January 08, 2010, 03:43:50 PM »

No, he should keep the black. He needs 2 to power the thing.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #70 on:** January 08, 2010, 03:57:48 PM »

without the spikes I'd be have no rear defense
the emty space does not mater
with granies I would not be invertible
what's so bad about DSA?
I'd kick MHTs ass
the chasis size help it turn faster
2 spinners works fine

trust me, I've improved this thing and rebuilt it alot, and one thing would screw the design up

G.K. · « **Reply #71 on:** January 08, 2010, 04:01:05 PM »

There are no robots in current AI packs that will attack your rear.
Make it less tall then
It's the best armour
I don't know what MHT is so I can't comment on that
No, it's irrelevant (I think)
You can have 4 though, and 4 is better

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #72 on:** January 08, 2010, 04:03:31 PM »

You don't need rear defense unless you blow at driving
Actually, it does matter.
Make the chassis smaller and then use grannies/ shinies
Nothing, he was just making sure you were using it.
Doubtful
True but unnecessary.
Moar weapons=better.
It could be a lot better.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #73 on:** January 08, 2010, 04:04:36 PM »

fine, I'll rebuild it

yes the AI does attack you're rear

G.K. · « **Reply #74 on:** January 08, 2010, 04:07:45 PM »

Only if you point your rear at it or it uses plow.py. The only bot I know of with plow.py is one of mine, and I haven't released any AI'ed bots at all.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #75 on:** January 08, 2010, 04:11:53 PM »

I see where you are coming from Sparkey...

Think of it this way. Let's say that your current bot can kill emergency in less than 20 seconds. Ok cool. bravo.

You will get tired of killing emergency in 20 seconds and you will improve to kill it quicker...

Eventually... even that will get boring too.

Pretty soon you will want to join the ranks and try out Starcore. (no pressure... dive in when you feel like it)

Once you get there, you will find that it is a whole different ballgame for bots... and they will destroy yours.

So, soak this in... the advice we give you is helpful for your future gaming enjoyment... and for tournaments too!

If you want to be competitive in tournaments you gotta take us more seriously and stop being so defensive about your bots. We understand that you are proud of them... but we want to help you improve too.

Because... Reier wont be making Noob Warz Tourneys forever. (we think)

here, I don't think he can be Improved anymore than this

Badnik96 · « **Reply #77 on:** January 08, 2010, 06:04:33 PM »

get rid of the rear piston and put in another face spinner.

Sage · « **Reply #78 on:** January 08, 2010, 06:06:06 PM »

Weight limit please!

Either 248, 398, or 800. Anything way in between is NOT a good thing.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #79 on:** January 08, 2010, 06:07:36 PM »

I thought about that, but the whol Idea is a face spinner with a spike

so he will ALWAYS have a spike, no mater what......lol

WHY!?!? that would just slow him down, he's perfect, trust me
