Title: Zyro_Falcon's Stock Showcase
Post by: Zyro_Falcon on October 14, 2015, 09:59:55 PM: I'm gonna do Stock, hearing of Starcore V3.
Before I start, I don't seem to see any documented stats on Stock wheel grip. Are they the same as in DSL?

Post by: Mr. AS on October 14, 2015, 10:02:35 PM: All the wheels are 1 grip.

rubber wheels and grannies can be good in situations too

unfortunately there's not much variety in stock compared to the other 2 versions

Post by: R1885 on October 14, 2015, 10:12:58 PM: Shiny wheels are the best wheel all around.
Grannies are good at making bots invertable, and thats about it
Rubbers are the best for wedges. Best on pop-ups, though I've had success on jugglers and vertical spinners.
All the other wheels might as well not exist.

I've built another Electro Falcon (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/HW/Zyro_Falcon_Electro%20Falcon%20ST13.bot) to conform with Stock's mechanics. Still wishing for the shredding power of a HS, I made some special arrangements (relative to what I've been doing thus far previously) for its weapon system...

The Razor Tips should have enough coverage to prevent any strike upon its motors. :claping

I think he's going for motor protection. If so, the best protection is to keep opponents as far away as possible rather than armour them.

Also, it'd be a good idea to read through this (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm) before you try building something else. Many very useful tips are included on that site.
