I would love to hear which bots people thought were the toughest in Starcore v3:

My views are from the inside so I know others will feel different about some of the bots. That and since I have been working on Starcore v4 I do remember the updates sometimes better then their predecessors.

My not so humble opinion of which bots were the best of Starcore v3:

LW:
HS: Spindoctors-Tempus Fugit
HS: The Grave Diggers-Reaper
Poker: Rust Factory-Reckless Infiltrator

MW:
Poker: Rust Factory-Acrid
HS: Happy Bees-Dizzy Bee
Poker: Infestation-RoAcH

HW:
FS: The PIT-Rabid Pit Bull
Juggler: Rust Factory-Neglected Waterbug
VS: Rust Factory-Clockwork Hydra
HS: EHB-Little Darling

AW:
FS: Spin Doctors-Logic Probe

BW:
HS: Spin Doctors-Graviton

SHW:
HS: Borg Collective-Locutus of Borg

I am sure others feel different on which they think were the most difficult. I can say that the V4 Starcore bots has new leaders that can kick butt on their V3 Forefathers.

I really like battling Rabid Pit Bull.  He's just plain tuff, cause he's on you chewing before you can breath.  
I also like Neglected Waterbug.
Input is appreciated. :)

I agree on the most part, excepted Reaper and Dizzy Bees. Not sure about Roach.

Rabid Pit Bull is certainly my nightmare, the only bot I've build that can ( and it's still a tough fight) beat him is a MW. Exactly the same for Neglected Waterbug : none of my heavies can beat these two.

But the strongest team is clearly (for me) Rust Factory.

Many of the bots I listed as some of the best of Starcore V3 came from Rejected. He was one of our best bot builders. A craftsman and an artist.

My listing was based on comments from a wide range of bot builders. Some have trouble with different kinds of bots like Reaper and Dizzy Bees. Some don't. I would say our Pop-ups in general are quite good BUT not as good as they would be if driven by their makers. I have trouble making Pop-up AI as effective as Real Pilots, though I did my best in tuning Smartzone locations for best timing. I am looking to use the new AI routines the Beetlebros came up with for AI detecting chassis instead of weapons before Popping.

I don't like either one, but then I don't like to lose!

Rabid Pit Bull was one of the bots I had the most trouble with nomatter what. I could never build anything that could get under that thing's wedges, which would have been key. It makes me wonder what the secret to good wedges is. Then again, I was never much of a popup builder.

I remember back when I had Starcore and only had the first 3 bots in each team, the only bots I had trouble with were the hw on spindoctors, Clockwork Hydra, Tommy Gun, Vortex and some piston bot on the Infestation team.

Well,

LW:
Reckless Infiltrator - Rust Factory (poker)
Uber-1337 - 1337 SPEEKERS (HS)

MW:
Intruder Alert - Secom Security Systems (HS)
T-400 Infiltrator - SkyNET (HS)
Mutiny II - C2 Robotics (Popup)
Crimson Fury Xtreme - Carnival Mayhem (Sit&Spin)
Extreamliner - Spinners of Doom (HS)

HW:
Rabit Pit Bull - The PIT (FS)
Tempest Exterminator - Secom Security Systems (HS/FS)
Mome Rath - Team Jabberwocky (VS)
Neglected Waterbug - Rust Factory (Juggler)

For me, those are the ones I seem to have the most trouble with.

Maybe we should ask those that have tried Starcore V4 Alpha which of those are the toughest?

Help me get my momentum going again...

OK. starcore. i want to help with anything i can. if AIing is taking a long time, im not too bad. i can do the boring bots that just take time. any rebuilds we need?

SCv4 beta is amazingly hard. hardest bot for me is probably fury. i think the MW class is the hardest, followed closely by the LW, with tempus fugit. im pretty sure that the HW class would greatly benefit from Inf's ABSOLUTE CHAOS. as far as i know, it hasn't lost to date (cept maybe some laggy online matches).

the hardest thing for us is not knowing what to do to help. I, for one, would like you to bark out orders and jump this thing into hyperdrive.

also, i think some Component skinning would be cool. that has never really been featured in a pack, and we want the Starcore Packs to go out with a bang. ill come up with some ideas for ya and send em your way.

I came up with a skull-type theme for most of the parts in RA2 ..... kinda wild.  (I was on a "Jolly Roger" trip, okay?)  Mad's seen a few of them already, but I still have several more parts to skin.
