So apparently the hip new thing is to build in Ironforge. Which means I have to learn what all the good stuff is.

The last time I took a screenshot in this garage I think it was Voulez-Vous for Ironbot.
Not sure where I was going with this robot, I was just playing around with things and remembered an old robot I made. And my cop out excuse for the realism rule is the tribars could probably be timed to avoid each other.
-
If they're set up like that, probably not, but it's been accepted in the past so whatever.
Looks pretty good for a standard design.
-
Not a bad start for a standard, although I worry about its longevity in a fight with other heavyweights. Good use of flipper skirts though. You could use the dark skirt + scoop instead of the flames ones if you don't like the aesthetic of the flames, the dark ones are still pretty dang sturdy and it would free up a bit of weight for superior armour.
-
Yeah I might just reskin them navy blue or something in my copy of Ironforge.

This now obeys the realistic rule and seems to be a bit more effective.

I'll be honest I hit a point where I just started attaching stuff.
-
The newer Moon River looks far improved :)
Also it's good to see you back :D

it shows
also this single-normal weapon on a FS eugh

Changed the weapons to some less bad razors.
-
That would totally work as the new Coal Miner in my pack[/plug]
Looks pretty good overall. The cutting teeth seem a bit strange though. How does it do inverted?
Also, welcome back. I know I'm extremely late for saying that.
-
It's not too bad inverted, still prefers being the right way up though.
And thanks!

You can take the man out of DSL...
-
NO
-
Tried out another layout
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75777Shrivel Up 2.png)
I really don't get Ironforge.
-
itll be lighter and more durable to just use 2 anchors per side vs the arrays
it will be shorter though so idk
-

It doesn't like driving sometimes but apart from that.
-
well its not bad :P

Remind me to reskin that snowplow at some point.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/87059fixed it.png)
Fixed it. Sorry 123 but the flames looked tacky to me.
-
that's probably the most un-tacky thing I've ever seen conra
but yes you're right
-
I made matching skirts, because what's stronger than the iron lady?
-
Ew, Thatcher
Does the central spike stop robots from getting caught in the juggler part?
-
woohoo thatcher
I like it but I'm also questioning the use of the central spike.
-
hell yeah thatcher

german reunification

Still doesn't beat the strongest mineral known to man, Thatcherite.

Fufilling my true popup quota for the year.

WHAT
18 blades seems pretty robust for a MW.

WHAT
18 blades seems pretty robust for a MW.
I just assumed it was a HW without ballasts.
-
its totally a hw
-
yeah youre right im used to the old system
-
It's got 4 front ballasts that I didn't count in the weight limit.
-
Here's the trialbot for Pot Luck 2. Also I'll start putting the weightclass on my splashes to avoid confusion.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19936TWR.png)
I'll give him a face later.
-
What bot type is that? SNS, Rammer, SNES?
-
Trialbot.
-
Trialbot.
Someone submit this.
or Jokebot.
Or Artbot.
OR A GIRAFFE!
-
It's a trialbot for Pot Luck 2 in the event I need to determine who gets first round byes. Whoever beats him the fastest gets the byes. He's designed to be a bit rubbish, but with steel 5 he won't die instantly.
Also those aren't types, they're more philosophies.
-
nice
(youve got no fans :P)
-
i cant believe you are asking what bot type it is when it is clearly an artbot lra2

Filming heavyweight ironforge robots for 4 days got me thinking.
-
How top heavy is it? I think you can get by with purple zteks and use the weight for more armor or something. Also dark armor is more efficient hp-wise than shell plates
-
I changed those panels to dark armour pretty much as soon as I posted that image when I realised. I'll try purple zteks when I get a chance.
-
Neat design. But yeah I can see something flying up into the discs and tilting the whole thing back.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66291tin soldier.png)
May need to tilt the blades up a bit more, not sure.
-
Changed it a bit.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64571tinsoldier2.png)
Moved the tribar back so I could get bigger front panels, shielding the front zteks a bit.
-
well lets hope i get lucky and my wedges happen to go under yours
-
What makes you think i'm sending this robot?
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MIND GAMESSSSSSSSS
-
Ah, so it's like Dremmel if I actually didn't try and cheat the rules and enter a popup?
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19233lily the pink.png)
I felt like building a sawbot.
-
stacking saws like that is dangerous because if one goes most if not all go
-
But it doesn't feel like it's doing much with crushing teeth! I might have to forsake the innermost star for some inward protection to stop the stars coming off as much.
-
i probably wouldnt use crushing teeth on this design, its just a flaw with the saw design. if I were you i may try quad zteks, at least that way you have a better chance of the saws lasting but it'll probably need a thorough rebuild with that solution.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79667lily 2.png)
Ra2 is crashing more than my grandfather at the hospital on this computer so I can't test too much, but as far as I can tell it's not a complete embarrasment with this setup.
Still want saws though. I'll rebuild it tommorow. The thing I don't like about quad zteks is that you can't stack on the inner ap on each side.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59419lily3.png)
Got enough wasted weight to get big zteks but that will need a widened chassis, which I cba with today.
-
Right, so I widened the chassis, realised that the hitbox of the ninja star is circular so this thing won't be doing much gutripping, why should I bother with bigger, heavier motors that are more likely to get hit? Ninja stars have frequency anyway.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75673lily the pink again.png)
I also got a snowplow on the back.
-
yeah, ninjas are basically IF sawblades. i really haven't found a whole lot of a use for them tbh (they also have weird hp values, just give it a look) since they basically only are able to grind and not launch things. I guess you could use them on a gutripper or something? only thing else I thought of was doing something like this (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52462mango1.png) which is basically a popup killer that is supposed to ride on top of opponents and grind them, since like crushing teeth wouldn't work there.
also i heartily believe that weapon hp/dmg > motor speed in ironforge. I don't know why, but I never see super powerful motors increase damage much like in DSL. basically just get one powerful enough that it won't get stopped and you don't really need to go much above that.
-
You're right, they do have odd values. You'd think the HP would increase with size. If it did, I think something like this might almost be quite good.
And Mango Tango was where I got the inspiration from. Think i've gone as far as I can with this design, with saws at least.
-
CAN YOU RAISE BOTH YOUR HANDS AND CLAP THEM?
CAN YOU SAY "SURE, I'LL ALWAYS TRY!"?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72073mickey mouse.png)
If a BW can get through the ~12000 hp of the combined ninja stars then I probably have other things to worry about.
-
eeeh 1wd beetles
well at least it isnt a hs. also does it use FBS.py ?
-
It probably would, yes.
And I know that sns are banned in most tourneys etc etc. I just wanted to try it out.
-
eh, it's a 1WD melty brain. it shouldn't be like most ironforge sns, but maybe.
Also I'm being unfair probably. it's a fine and valid design. it just reminds me of all those people using uncontrollable 1wd hs in stock trying to put MOAR WEAPONS on the design.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4853217d7bf68abcc89a838df50131862c836.png)
At least 180 days? Well then, I better make this a good robot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39444Good Ending.png)
I regret nothing.
-
But it needs to be a full bodypillow...
Looks nice otherwise, only thing I'd worry about is adding supports at the back in case it somehow gets flipped.
Not having much anime/waifu knowledge, but I guess a reverse google search will help.
Also guess that IF has a bigger maxsphere?
Seeing some entries is definitely giving me new ideas(you really don't want to see the bots I built before that, had some that started sideways)
-
bretty good
Maybe remove a black and replace it with a pink, try and get some protection for those light extender supports?
-
Changed one battery to a smaller one to make weight for protection on the extenders. Also shrunk the black armour on the inner sides.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/53699Good Ending 2.png)
And I made a more body pillow esque skin to boot.
-
i'd probably change those razors to something not bad if I were you
also might ditch the dark armor on the plows and put a light sheet on the front of the chassis just in case
heck you can prob get my with med plows if you need weight
-
I made some weight by swapping the wider wheels for narrower ones. I'm not sure what's actually good in Ironforge so I just swapped the razors out.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11871Good Ending 4.png)
Also I added wheel guards.

stack the batteries out of principle chief
unless you have 15 already of course
-
each one is double stacked, he said there is 6
-
why have 2 when you can have 19

I know it's Retooled, but for lack of a retooled showcase...

Vaporwave is still cool, right?

A E S T H E T I C
How are the wedges?
-
Wedges are meh. I need to tweak them
I'm guessing the weapon rack hanging off of the back doesn't help it too much
