So I'm kinda into Ironforge right now, so I figured I could show off whatever I build.
I'll start with my entry for STC's tourney; presenting, Let's go!! Ram bot!!

One car battery under the motors. 3mm aluminum armor. The rest you can see.
-
interesting motor setup
if something gets under that it's toast though, maybe try a bit of top/bottom armor for at least a couple of buffer hits until you can ram again? Especially because I doubt you'll want to add ballasts on a rammer to avoid getting lifted
-
Yeah, as is it's a glass cannon. It can kill anything that doesn't get under or behind it, but a few chassis hits and it dies. The Crushing teeth act as pseudo-wedges. They keep it from going over anything that's not an actual wedge. I tried adding ballasts, but it drove like crap afterwards.
Maybe downgrade the scythes for some armor? The motor setup works surprisingly well.
-
Damn that thing must fly lol
-
Giant 20-30 KG crushing teeth seems like a waste of weight since they only have normals on the darker/thicker side of the tooth, despite their purpose as a "wedge". Might as well just put an actual skirt hinge wedge on at that point.
Who's the grill on the skin?
-
Yeah, I tried a skirt, doesn't seem to work as well, weirdly. I figured the whole dark part does damage, so they probably hit somewhat, and they soak up damage real good. The girl is Mai Waifu. (Actually just a random animu chick from /e/.)
-
so mnb has went from european chick skins to anime chick skins in 5-6 years... ok
also intredasting motor setup
-
Threw together a bot to fight Rier with, and ended up going all-out.
Just in time for Christmas, I present, KRAMPUS!

Popups kinda suck in ironforge, but he does alright.
Weight is 598.4 with 4 ballasts.
-
did those dark plates just stack like that first try?
its a good design but I think you want to find a way to get more juice and I doubt 1 DDT is as strong as would be good. You can get by on a beta I think. Some of my hw popups have 4 DDTs :rage Other than that it looks real solid. I'm guessing you're going more for speed to slam somebody out of the arena than pure ddt flipping power.
it will be a wedge war ;) my wedges kind of suck, you may take this on that alone
-
As the one who has this bot, I do admittedly like that sneaky message underneath the bot.
The bot itself is quite nice. The sickles are a nice touch.

i was right

Yeah, it doesn't so much flip as it slams bots into walls then pins them while it hits their chassis. I thought about at least upgrading to a beta, but I'd have to rework the chassis and downgrade the armor (titanium 10), and honestly, it works pretty well as is. I did have more batteries, but I took them out for more weapons/ armor. We'll see how it goes. And yes, those armor plates stacked pretty easily, but only when I put the left one on first for some reason.

Waifu bot for 09's tournament.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78324screenshot_2.jpg)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81220screenshot_3.jpg)
weight is 600.00 kgs with 4 ballasts. Armor is Steel 5, so one thing I'm consideringis downgrading armor for more weapons on the disks. Would need to downgrade it quite a lot though.
Waifu is Nao Mariota Pryderi (http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Nao) from a Korean MMO called Mabinogi.
She is also objectively better than your waifu, because your waifu is sh*t.

Brb, killing myself :dead:

How affective are he wedges?

How affective are he wedges?
pretty good from what I could tell, but I only have the basic AI to test it on. Hoping the old DSL principle that snapper wedges are hetter than hinge wedges holds true.
-
considering that skirt hinges are also burst motors, i'm not sure what kind of benefit you could even get.

Possibly stronger axles? DSL is still behind on fixing those.
-
From what I've learned, not all burst motos are created equal when it comes to wedginess, though it'skinda a lot of weight to something that otherwiseis only a srimech. Anyway, I just thought of a much better way to build this, but it'stoo late for the tournament. I might build it anyway to showcase it.
-
My GTMCS bot, an angled HS. It's actually pretty stable, but it's basically screwed against a good wedge bot.

-
should've downgraded the plow and given it underarmour bro, too bad it's too late for that now.
-
All of my entries were a tad rushed, so what you gonna do.
-
Built something for Conraa's tourney.

All new HW FS. Iron Beast. Armor=Alum 10
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23665INSIDES.png)
It's fully invertable!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91822INVERTABLE.png)
Might enter it in Thracker's tournament, but might be too lightly armed. I wonder if I should downgrade all the wedges/plows to Dark rather than Heater and try to pack in more weapons.
-
do the crushing teeth even work?
-
I like
def go for more weapons considering how cucked FS weapons are in IF. weapon motor's feel a little overkill for a FS as well.
-

Yeah man, its all about angling them just right, Razors would still be better but lol no HP or just the beaters but lol no damage

Yeah, I liked how the flame motors fit on the bot, but I could probably downgrade to smol Z-tecs.
-
What if you put flamethowers on it? Flamethowers make everything better.
-
reminds me of rabid pit bull but in IF
i like it
-
So I tried this set up, small z-teks for motors, Titanium 10.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33295screenshot_18.png)
Was hoping razors + beaters would give good balance of damage and durability, but the razors break off right away, and I still do no damage.
I think this might actually be my best bet tbh
What if you put flamethowers on it? Flamethowers make everything better.
But how do I fit a flamethrower on there? :confused:
edit: NVM, I FIGURED IT OUT

-
Nice flamethrower! Does the flamethrower make it any better than without the flamethrower?
-
try using hex plates and the side AP on the beaters to attach your weapons

Haven't tested it much yet. It keeps me from being cucked on points anyway.

WHOA HOW DO YOU DO THIS
-
May as well showcase my ironyforge bots. Only one is really new though,and it's lazy af. (except for the skin which took almost an hour to get matched up properly)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15105screenshot_23.jpg)
Insides are pretty simple. Just a med z-tek, a med battery, and an air tank. RC motors for drive. No ballast
Don't tread on memes upgrade with actual memes

Iron Beast: final version
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3615screenshot_26.jpg)
It's pretty good actually, too bad it got paired with a VS in round 1. The wedge isn't long enough to fight VS's
-
Built a flipper lol

it's ass
most likely :rolleyes:

My IF unrealistic bot for Wen's tournament. 249.4 Kgs with a single ballast.
It's a MW rebuild of Tits or GTFO, and works just like the original, except it's not nearly as stable.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5499screenshot_38.jpg)
Do those sickles do anything? Yes, they stop the servo from glitching out for some reason. Do I need 14kgs worth of wasted weight for that? Iunno, maybe.
-
How about putting more weapons to get through the weight limit?
-
why not use a skirt hinge instead of a servo

IF MWs are 200kgs, his bot is 199.4kgs plus a 50kg ballast.

I forgot those exist :ermm:
