Scrapyard's Ironforge Garage
« on: July 11, 2015, 02:18:55 AM »
Well it's certainly been a long time since I've ever posted in this sort of thread but since I finally got Ironforge working I got to building and experimenting with designs in order to shake off the rust.  I think I'll start off with my first decently designed robot called Beyond Driven.  It is a four wheel drive robot that has a skirt wedge and lifting arm up front consisting of iron spikes and a pair of crushing teeth at the top to prevent opponents from going up and over the top and as a back up it has a ramming bumper made of four crushing teeth in the rear.

Strengths - Low ground clearance up front, great pushing power, well protected

Weaknesses - Wedge and lifting arm are useless when inverted and exposed wheels

I'm pretty sure the teeth have normals along the dark edge (you know what I mean :P) so your bumper may be slightly ineffective, but cool otherwise.
