The Bacon Bowl (Stock)

[Avalanche]

Weapon looks amazing but I would suggest changing the wheels to the rubber wheels as they provide grip and are low to the ground AT THE SAME TIME! Everything else is good so cheers!

Jamied, I appreciate your enthusism and willingness to try and help, but you just registered 11 days ago. Please leave advice to those who are more knowledgeable about Stock, ok?

While I know less abut stock, I suggest trying to bring in those corners and make the bot closer to airtight to see if that can help you lose some weight, to allow you to attach a plow.

okay but can I still give advice to Baconus_Yum as I've been playing stock ever since 2010 so please I look up to you for some reason for being a rebel, I don't know why but I just do

as avalanche said, please do not give advice or criticize bots before you are competent at this game.

no offense against you, but if it gives fake perceptions of robots to new builders, it's not good.

It wastes 10 kgs to use rubbers. The bot will have around as stable/unstable.

I'm sort of the edgy guy that tells people to p*** off whenever i want, but that has to stop pronto as mods are giving me warnings so I am going to cease the rebel stuff. Also, being a rebel is not a good thing for a new user as they can get tainted with a bad reputation (not the number, as in opinions) early on in the community.
For now regarding your wish to give advice, though you've been playing it since 2010, Dreamcast and Naryar have shown you aren't fully knowledgable and really should not be giving advice. Please don't fight us, because being belligerant in your wishes ends up working badly (see what I did under the name life robot arena2 for reference).

Please make a showcase to show what you have built. If your screenshots are still pitch black, try using Print Screen then copy and paste into paint. It's slower but works.

Again, I do welcome your willingness to try and help but you simply need more experience. Please make a showcase and let the stock experts transform you into a better player.

EDIT: What the **** is with the hate? I am actually trying to tell him to listen to those who are good and improve based on that, but by "stock experts" I meant not myself (obviously) and to listen to people who are more knowledgable, while trying to remain calm and level headed. If I actually help someone for once, I get hate anyways? Jesus.

[Badnik96]

lra2 you aren't inf so stop acting like him

you're definitely improving, baconus. you need to learn how to build your chassis around your components instead of just sticking parts in a box. also redbirds are unneccesary, downgrade to rads and try to get some stronger weapons on it like irons or maces.

[Avalanche]

lra2 you aren't inf so stop acting like him

I'm literally trying to help a new member and you attack me. What do I do? I attack someone, I get hell back. Ok, that's fair. I try to HELP someone and direct them to where they can improve: attacked anyways. Why? What was the problem?

[Baconus_Yum]

Ok, I made the bot smaller, and used Iron Spikes.  The only problem now is that the weapon hits the ground...

[Dreamcast]

Flip the weapon motors over if the weapon is dragging across the floor.

Edit, and use the special attachment point on the blue snapper. It's located wherever the notch on the snapper is when you place the component. If you place the snapper and the Y connector before placing the battery, you're weapon will find a happy place to be in.

just raise the rads to give it less ground clearance and stop it from leaning forward

[Baconus_Yum]

I raised them.  Then I went against the BBEANS MW Champ:


Then 2nd Place:


Then went against SFTW (Because why not?) and I noticed this...

...is that an army of SFTW? I don't know if I should laugh, or be really worried.
Probably the first.

(I beat it, don't worry.) (All the fights was actually less than 1 minute each.)

[Baconus_Yum]

(sorry for double post)

And now: The Final Product:




It is called Baconator.

[Pwnator]

You could make the chassis slightly longer so that the RADs can fit just around the snapper. You'll still save weight overall. The chassis can also be lower (just up to the black's height). If you can't stack the control board into the black, learn how to load out the snapper's axle and the control board should fit above it.

As for what you could do with the spare weight, I'm unsure if it would become overweight but a set of casters under the RADs would help as armor.

[Baconus_Yum]

Made this.  It has some extra useless space, but it is a rough start.

It is Bacon Tearin'

(guess what the skin is)
-Baconus

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Yeah, not too bad. I guess you can try and shrink the chassis and make the setup invertible.

[Baconus_Yum]

Made some edits:


Contemplating on switching the Plow for a Wedge...

[Squirrel_Monkey]

You're not going to get much of a wedge for the weight of a plow.
Still feel like you could get it invertible.

[Baconus_Yum]

Tried putting a wedge on it.

Is now a low HW and lasts around a minute.  Terrible idea.

Also, because of the motors, I cannot make it invertible, unless I use bigger wheels, but I have no weight for it.
However I did raise the wheels.
