Isn't it actually a SHW at this point with Ironforge weights?

SHW's are around 600kg.

Edit: Just read your second comment, feel like a right tool now.

Are you supposed to use Stock armours, or DSL Armours? If it's DSL Armour, I've been using the wrong values all along.

I think 123 added the DSL armour into Ironforge.... :s

They all have the same efficiency.  What armor you pick doesn't matter.  Just don't use DSA.

I tried re-making my Tiger Lily bot in IronForge. This was the result.



Fun fact: This bot took 14 re-builds to perfect. Can beat all bots in the LW category, apart from Red Crab, oddly. I also learnt that Ironforge is like a miniature version of Stock, in terms of motors.

Thanks to Tibsy, 090901, and Mr. AS for teaching me how to skin properly!

There's a gap in the middle where it isn't protected, perhaps this is why all but one AI bot can defeat it?

The weapons spin fast enough to deflect any blows. You'd have to deweapon the bot first, which is what Red Crab does.

It looks cool but I'm pretty damn sure battleaxes have normals.

the trappers are a bit overkill imo, I feel you could either make them smaller, or just have one in the middle and get more weapons on. But then I don't really know the ironforge weights much so I could be very wrong :P

That and the angled connectors seem like a weak link in your weaponry.

This. Looks cool but I worry about those 2 factors. Nice work on learning to skin too :)

Yeah - didn't really think that one through. Thought all weapons in Ironforge had normals, until I remembered Razors don't. Well, back to the drawing board with me.  :gawe:

'Twas the only way to get the normals of the battleaxes to attack the opponent robot when on top of the jugglers. Might be resolved by using razors, though.

Nope, they're the only weapon (Other than Beater Bars and hammers) to not have normals.

Anyway, fixed up Tyga - it can now beat every single bot in Ironforge, and is -very- destructive.



124.4, with wider wheels, a new weapon setup, and Aluminium 5. Coupled with it's previous incarnation, I have now re-made and re-mastered this bot 17 times.
