Again my bots are bad blah blah here's my first bot I made
it's a HW called Junkyard MegaHurtZ:



8 full length spinning Ninja Stars spinning on a Perm 80
2 Drill-like Iron Blades spinning on a 2 Motor FireBird
and 2 Normal N-12 Wheels spinning on TwinBird R's
i'm only a finalist in BBEAMS 7 which was a meme tournament and I just stole a NAR AI bot and made it dense as ****.
and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.

You're wayyy over the weight limit son, even if you have 4 ballasts in there you're still 78 kgs too heavy.

Besides that, turn the plow into a V shape so that they can trap enemy bots better, and ditch the chicken drills since they do 0 damage on HWs

Maybe he's going for a SHW or something?

Welcome to Ironforge, DeadGenocide!

This bot needs some improvements, mainly to be legal in Ironforge. First thing's first: due to allowing the game to be more stable, Ironforge uses a unique, self-enforced weight class system from Stock and DSL. Namely, the weight class limits are as follows:
  • AW-70KG
  • BW-90KG
  • LW-125KG
  • MW-200KG
  • HW-400KG
  • SHW-600KG

Another thing about weight classes in Ironforge: If there are four or fewer ballasts on a robot in Ironforge, they do not count towards the total weight of the robot. This is to keep the robots, now with reduced weight, from flying off.

So to figure out the figure out the weight class, subtract the weight of the robot with ballasts from the weight of the ballasts.

As for the bot itself, the first improvement that should be made is switching out the dual firebirds for weaker motors, or just make them static weapons. Trust me when I say that for chicken drill weapons do NOT need motors that powerful. I would also recommend switching out the N-12s for minis if possible to improve wedge effectiveness.
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

Those drills are a MASSIVE waste of weight. Those motors are heavy and they can't seriously be doing much there. Just scrap them entirely.

Also your plows are keeping your wedges from being 100% efficient, as they'll block a lot.

having drills is fine, it's just the motor that is far too powerful. use a small ztek.

also this plow setup accomplishes nothing

But you can fit just as much onto an IF heavyweight as the weights of all components are also adjusted.
You just have to remember. And if you don't remember, there are big reminders in both the loadup screens and the credits screen.
This bot could easily be made a HW by optimizing it.
