also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
Just a few quick and very uncomprehensive words before I go to bedIF weapons have normal where they should have normal, so for sickles that's on the brighter edge. I'd recommend crushing teeth.
Honestly, I like the disc, even if it's not very effective. My two gripes are the wedges and side armor plates. The wedges seem a bit tryhard and look a little frail IRL, and the armor plates on the sides make it look pointy and I'm not a huge fan of it.Looks good otherwise.
This bot does not have enough battery power. It has four spin motors, meaning it draws 40 amps. A single car battery, while superior in terms of power per amp, only provides 20 amps--not enough to fully power this bot. Instead, replace it with two lantern batteries and one small battery, which amounts to 40 amps. This may or may not free up a few kilograms to use a stronger armor than Al3.
Batteries are all balanced. Use what you need to get the required amps.
Are there any AI packs for Ironforge, or is it just the default bots for now? What are the best bots to test against?
Ironforge really needs some more weapon choices!
ALERT- Another WS coming up...
I'm fine with hugging reier

I don't think you quite got the point of Ironforge.It's hyper balanced and there is 1 component for every sort of use. I wrote up a small tutorial which I need to build on really here.It's more the Stock way of doing things rather than DSL's floods of components.Razors or Beaters would be best here I think.
On your first one I think you can get away with smaller weapon motors like yellow zteks. On both your main problem is that the weapons you've chosen have normals which means they only do damage on the sharp edge, if you orient them in better ways it'll improve your bot a lot
Thoughts?
I actually tried something like that, only with the penta-connector. The side razors were too low to hit anything and the one on top got wiped out really quickly by HSs. The FS you posted is awesome though, if the bottom one a HW?
Anyways, this is how I connected the plows: An upside-down 65 degree baseplate connector to a 20cm connector, 1 rotation tick to the inside to the plows, which are slightly angled.
