The Fallen's Epic Showcase!

[TheFallen]

For some reason I think these kinds of hammers are better than popups, but I'll go with your advice! Also, I know some of the wedges on the robots aren't as good as they should be, but on Scorpion Venom the DDTs wouldn't go any lower. Also, Blue Monster 5 has a weird glitch that sometimes(but very rarely) causes the pistons to fly out of their sockets, making a ranged weapon! And on Confluence, I only had one part left to go in the 7 parts-in-a-row limit, so if I used irons, they wouldn't hit anything , so I just used the longest weapons I could find! Btw, I don't know if I'm being a bit ME ME ME here, but please could I have feedback from other users? There are 6 robots here, and I'd really like to improve :-)

Btw are there ANY builders at my nooby level? I'd like to challenge them lol

It depends on how nooby are we going?  Are we talking first timer or are we talking played for a while because I'm one.

I advise you look around in the Tournament section, it will give you a chance to see how you do against others bots, as i don't think many people play online stock.

[TheFallen]

Erm... someone who kind of knows how to snapper load and effe and stuff, but isn't nearly at BBEANS level. Played for a good coupla months now...

[TheFallen]

Got a 36HS,a chained VS and a LW popup for you guys here, ill upload them as soon as i have time.

Also, how do you do those insane airtight HPZ stacks in pro HW popups, where there are no visible snappers/servos for overlapping/loading?

[KOS]

Those Sounds Cool, You may be talking about axle loading (like the wheels in my popup example?)


If so, this may help:

Ok, its been a while since ive posted here, but anyway...I got Starcore V3 and its hard, but my robots can beat most of them with good driving.




All these are robots that i'm constructing for a future AI pack(about the level of starcore V2, some bots are as good as V3)
Combat Drone is part of the Alien team and is a lightweight HS with 4 irons and 2 razors. It won me 2 tournaments and beat almost all starcore V3 robots! yay!
Queen is part of the Chessmasters team and is a middleweight FS with HP Z-tek drive, Supervolt power, RAD weapon motors, plus a snowplow and a wedge. Beats Fury, Praetorian, Ultraviolet and most of the others.
King is part of the Chessmasters team and is a heavyweight angled HS/VS hybrid. It has good drive with four HPZs and could be my most compact bot yet, but is slightly underweaponed. I couldn't double up the irons because of the Rule of Seven, so I'm currently trying to put some ramplate armour, although its taking ages with the size of the chassis.
First Contact is part of the Alien team and is a not very good HS/rammer hybrid with 6 bear claws and 4 axe heads. Falls prey to popups, but lasts longer than most due to invincible bottom casters. It's  2kg overweight, so i guess ill have to redo the chassis to squeeze that weight out. I wonder if there's like a custom drill that could drill holes in the chassis to make it lighter, like on Razer's claw... that could be both awesome and completely game-breaking...

[Badnik96]

Try flipping the tribar on your lightweight over.

Also, you should be able to use shiny hubs on your middleweight and get it down to legit MW level.

[TheFallen]

ill keep those things in mind. With the extra weight from using regular Z-teks i could get another axe or two, make it much more powerful. Any comments on the other robots?

[Badnik96]

I'd use razors on the RAD HS and irons on the ramming rack, and use the weight to get more irons.

Using snappers you'd be able to make it invertible as well.

[TheFallen]

Awww i like bear claws...nvm

I have a great new robot i built last night! It's an MW VS called Exacting Excavator(hurrah for random names!). The 2 snapper II wedges are fantastic, my best wedges to date, they outwedge all Starcore V3 MWs and even some HWs(I'd like to test them against NWB's wedges but I don't have the last three robots on each team.... help plz?) The weaponry is a bit fragile though.

I'll be posting a splash when i have time 

[KOS]

Sounds good, As for that problem, i think it has something to do with one of the custom .gib files. Maybe someone can help him here?

[Badnik96]

A bunch of AI packs have that custom gib file, it's called selectrobot_ai.gib or something. Try downloading RFS AI 1.2, that should have it.

Just remember not to overwrite the AI pack when you put in the new gib :3
