Oh I'll be doing some banging.......
As far as bots go, It's been done before.Stock Really hasn't been made to showcase robots like that in a long long time. Almost everyone plays stock very very differently from your style.I'd really recommend you get DSL2.1 or DSL 3-alpha. There are a lot more components to use, arenas and other fun stuff.
Yeah, what he said.If you look at other stock showcases, they use many glitches and other various techniques which is much different from real life style robotics.Your best bet would probably be to download and get familiar with DSL2, then check out some other showcases (Scrap Daddy, Virus Bomb, ty4er, Thyrus, etc) if you want to follow a real life style approach.
Read this.And this.Basically, replace the mud tires w/ shinies, the battle axe with razors/irons... and get rid of the pink battery packs.
I like where you are going with Rusty, but it could use some major adjustments. These include:The wedge is not that great. Use a small wedge on an extender on a blue snapper. This will save lots of weight for stronger weapon burst motors and more hammer weapons.Use a snowplow for frontal armor. This is crucial for hammers, as their weapons fly in from the sides as opposed to the front. No frontal weapon means that there is nothing to protect the chassis.Use a stronger burst motor for the hammer weapon. This will allow for more weapons on the hammer and allow it to function as a proper srimech. As it is, the separate srimech is just a waste of weight.Eliminate the RAD motors and wheels and only have two-wheel drive with HP Z-Teks. This saves weight as well as battery power for the burst motor. Keep the shiny hubs, thoughWhat armor are you using? Stock only has two viable armor options: Plastic and Double-strength aluminum (DSA). DSA is attained by not selecting any armor, thus providing you with a light armor that is stronger than steel. Only use plastic if there is absolutely no weight leftover for DSA. If you selected an armor besides DSA, this will ruin the glitch. The only way to re-apply DSA is to re-build the chassis.You only need a single supervolt for this bot. The extra pink is barely helping if at all, so you might as well remove it.Also, don't post multiple smileys in a row. It makes you look like a n00b, which, based on your replicas, you certainly are not.
You don't need steel armor, you can use DSA (double strength aluminum) by not touching the armor tab at all. Lighter and stronger than steel.The new SnSnS (lol, it's a taken acronym) is much better, but you could still save weight by making your wheels external (in turn shrinking your chassis more) and mounting the weapon on a baseplate anchor.I like the creativity behind O-Bladerator, but it'd look and work better in DSL I think.For Rusty, the wedge would work better if it was symmetrical, and if the hammer had more spikes on it. Sacrificing those spike strips should help. Again, make your wheels external, the less chassis exposed the better. I have a pretty good MW hammer around here, maybe I'll showcase it to give you some ideas
Is there a mounting system you can use with a snapper and not an anchor? I fail to see much difference...
