DSA is inferior to all armours in Ironforge - it's only Stock you want to use it in.

How much ballast?

My next bot is called Chappa MKII and is a HS with DSA armour and it weighs 293KG.

This robot im gonna show you now is by far the most succesful and is my pride and joy, so manly it could be considered naryar in bot form i give you FAW-PAC this beast of a bot is a rammer with titanium 1 armour and 200kg ballasts at the back to make its official weight 606kg!!! it takes out the heavyweight ironforge ai pretty ****ing well due to the devestating weapon array at the front.

bots beware cause this is truly tu-pacs revenge!

Dude, please post only once in a short while. If you have something to add before someone replies, simply edit your post.

sorry, i wont do it again
promise

I think you're 6 kg overweight there. You could shorten the chassis a bit and still be able to fit everything in.

on faw-pac?

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #49 on:** July 26, 2015, 03:51:51 PM »

Yeah. Sorry, should have specified.

Just dont repeatedly post in a row, you dont HAVE to post only once every few centurys. But calm down.
If you keep making bots without listening to advice, you get nowhere.
The wheel supports on the VS kind of block the disc from attacking. You should seperate them into 2 different supports coming from the sides.
For the HS, It is much taller than necessary. Lower chassis height, make invertible.
For the rammer, Doesnt look IRL. Too much weapon spam. Could also make wheelguards.

lol ive made it HEAVIER XD now its 737.9kg WITHOUT ballasts which are 200kg BTW XD

That's a UHW then, nobody builds those in Ironforge.

ecolusian · « **Reply #53 on:** July 26, 2015, 04:38:48 PM »

am i allowed to?

G.K. · « **Reply #54 on:** July 26, 2015, 04:40:12 PM »

You're allowed to build absolutely anything you want. It's just not a particularly recognised class yet.

Reier · « **Reply #55 on:** July 26, 2015, 04:40:30 PM »

yeah but you'll have no one to play against in the AI :P
all AIs are 400 HWs or the occasional 600kg superheavyweights

nah dude don't feel obligated to follow EXACTLY EVERYTHING WE SAY to the tee, it's just advice. Build anything you want.

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #56 on:** July 26, 2015, 04:50:01 PM »

The only benefit of building to certain weightclasses is that you can enter the robot in tournaments for that weightclass. If you aren't planning on entering anything with a certain robot, feel free to just do whatever.

cephalopod · « **Reply #57 on:** July 26, 2015, 05:01:28 PM »

Like I told you ages ago, you can build what you want but beating the AI with an overweight bot isn't an achievement :P

09 isn't it enough juice? i wouldn't add much more

Beta's draw 30 amps, the spin motors draw 20 amps, he only have 40 right now.

widened the flipper but now i have a new issue, sometimes when i flip i ping off into the skies!

Either add ballasts or put a skirt on the backside of the robot so it can't flip over on its back.

For The Craaigening you really need more weapons, and if you have 200 kg ballast then your robot is still underweight for a HW robot. (If you didn't know, ballasts don't count towards the weight limit in Ironforge.) The wheels on the axles are kinda pointless too as they are not powered at all.

On Chappa MKII, the chassis is waaay taller than it needs to be and you still have 100 kg to work with.

For Tu-pac's Revenge, the chassis is bigger than it needs to be and can be shorten down, I'm not that sure why you are using ballasts on a rammer though.

When the hell did this guy ever say he was trying to build IRL?

My mistake, thought he was. Rest of my advice still stands.
