Ben half of those set-ups are identical to one another. Why you need a T-Minus style lifting arm AND a Toro style lifting arm, when they are ESSENTIALLY the same thing, is beyond me. Likewise, why you need two Tazbot type arms, I dont know. You need to think this over.
My vapourbot, Cyclone Force, had 5 interchangable weapons. But since having a rethink, Ive narrowed it down to three.
I can Have 14 It is MY! vapour
I just choose which 5 I want for each tournament
Fine it is a SHW 300KG!!
You didnt answer my question - why do you need 14, and what is special about each of them that there are opponents that only that arm is good against?
Because!
Variety is the spice of life

Thats NOT a good enough reason, nor is your reason for having 14 of them when you barely need half of those. Stop making such rediculous excuses and try creating a PROPER vapourbot.
Frankly, Im beginning to lose my patience with you.
You can of course do it, but the longer you make your stats the more likely writers are to a) not read it all or b)not take it all in, or equally the fact you have so many setups which havent really thought them out much will subconciously count against you in the eyes of the writer, particularly as the difference between them all seems negligible.
Id not trying to offend you here but bear in mind I have had about seven years more experience than you so I have a good idea of what Im talking about. Especially considering that I designed slammer, which suffered a lot from overzealous interchangeable designs on my part.
ok but i am adding one more:
15) An Axios like lifting arm
Axios doesnt have a lifting arm. Instant fail.
And instead of adding one, try removing 8. Itll work so much better.
Ben, are you now deliberately starting to troll?
People with years of experience are trying to help you out and all the response they get from you is arrogance and evading posts. In one of them you do the exact opposite of what the other suggest youd do.
For your own sake, look at your robot more carefully and scrap a dozen or so of your attachements.
@All the others: Do not feed...
i am not being arrogant, i just think i should be free to make my own mistakes
well, then clearly you havent looked at the topic properly. Its not called How Could I Improve... for nothing.
i mean be nice
and axios did have a lifter, well an arm
If you want us to be nice to you, itd help if you do the same. Saying I can do what I want isnt exactly nice.
And Axios does not have a lifter. It had a drill and a ram.
Have you read the archives in this topic? I knw theyre long and somewhat rambling, but they do contain lots of things which help you to make fewer mistakes in the first place.
Im not bothering with this. :P
Hey at least its original
Ben,
Seriously, people are offering you good advice, and your not listening. I started badly when I joined, but I listened to advice and quickly improved. Mark Elam joined the same time as me, but didnt listen to advice and ended up having his account suspended. If you listen to what people are telling you things will get a lot better:)
Listening to good advice is something that is fundamental, Ben.
ok but i want to keep my 15 flippers
People arent gonna let you into tournaments with that much interchangeable weaponry. :P
Ben, can you please just tell me why you want that many? Id accept it if you had clear reasons why theyd be good against certain opponents, but I would really appreciate it if you just gave me clear reasons (not just because I say so or because its cool) WHY each of these attachemnts is good against certain opponents, and why one of the myriad of others wont work...
Because if Ulto is entered into one of my tournies, I am going to skip over all the interchangable things and just assume it has a flipper of some sort. Unless you tell me why that many are needed, they just clutter up the stats and make you look like an idiot, to be very honest.
no, i choose 5 per tournament
No Ben, you choose 5, Period. And you will explain the difference between the 5 different attachments. If not, all the tournament writers will just not accept Ulto at all.
Hows that for clarity?
Leos post above was just pure epic win.
fine I will have 3 identical robots, ULTO I, Ulto 2 and Ulto 3 each with 5 weapons that way i can have all 15 weapons
Stop trying to get around it so you can have 15 weapons. IT WONT WORK. *rolls eyes*
...why?
Ulto I will have 1,5,7,10,14
Ulto II will have 6,9,11,13,15
Ulto III will have 2,3,4,8,12

youre just pushing it Ben...
Ben, 1 robot, 5 weapons, and full explanation of the weapons. Otherwise, no go.
I was already seriously doubting Bens ability to listen to other people, and I believe this is the clincher.
BEN, if you cant listen to advice, then get off the forum.
I am not what is wrong with 3 robots
Fine Ulto I is black all over
Ulto II is blue green and orange
and Ulto III is gold and silver
Sigh...
Someone by the name of neontetra23 needs a wake-up call. :lame:
Technically all three robots should be allowed, since Aaron was allowed his Infusion family.
Thanks Frank
That was a joke from Aaron, and he needs to reshape his team. :P
Ben is a newcomer, so he shouldnt be allowed that.
... I wouldnt have allowed Aaron to do that myself, lol
nor Ben!:P
Ben, youre NOT trying. One more rude, arrogant I must have MY way becoz I say so, Hu-Whaa! Hu-Whaa! comment, and Ill be forced to consider you a Mark Elam sockpuppet. Which I DONT want to have to do.
Newbies shouldnt be treated differently
Thats one thing, Ben, but look at the way youre acting. Youre making any friends. :P
