Title: Natster's Ironforge - Sounds like something from Lord of the rings
Post by: Natster-104 on August 16, 2014, 05:11:26 AM
Bonjour, mon ami
Making a team for ironforge, my first bot in 0.2 was crap but with the new component balance, I'm getting a lot better

First bot:

if I were to have the same DDT's on each side, it would havok, so thats why theres a hexplate, plastic 5

Thoughts?

EDIT:

MW for Ironforge:

Tita 5, Thoughts?

Thats why I changed it :D

Realised there was enough weight for tita 10, so it can take a lot of hits
(Btw it has a ballast in don't tell Naryar)
Thoughts?

i like the mw tho
Thanks! :D

your LW is nice apart from it not actually being a lightweight

Half of 250 is 125, dude.

So I was experimenting with blades on baseblate anchors... HOW DO I BUILD TO LIMIT :rage

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50840Umm - Tigress.png)

its a prototype, planned changes:

-Move plow further back into the body
- Add wheel guards
- wider wheels?
Title: Re: Natster's Custom/Ironforge Showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on August 16, 2014, 07:54:20 AM
Wider wheels maybe?

Hmm, guess so
Title: Re: Natster's Custom/Ironforge Showcase
Post by: Elementos on August 16, 2014, 08:51:09 AM
Wider wheels maybe?

This and/or make the wheels closer to the chassis; the axle sticking out looks funny; better armour/wheelguards perhaps?
Title: Re: Natster's Custom/Ironforge Showcase
Post by: Natster-104 on August 16, 2014, 08:58:59 AM
hmmm, I can't think of a good weapon type, any ideas?

Also, updated it:

Tita 10, thoughts?

EDIT:
Sorry, forgot to mention, has 2 ballasts

EDIT 2:

hmmm, maybe, but I think I accidently scrapped the old chassis, oops

Looks pretty good to me. I think the plow might look better the other way up though.

I tried, but it wouldn't fit D:

What's it attached to? You might be able to make it fit using a 10 degree angle piece or something.

It's attatched to an extender, but I might be able to see whether I can fix it up

Fixed it

And I made this

Side view to show the cur-hazy extender work

Tita 5 IIRC,

Thoughts?

The chassis doesn't really look good with the rest of the bot and the extenders are messy.
Title: Re: Natster's Custom/Ironforge Showcase
Post by: 090901 on August 16, 2014, 02:29:35 PM
I don't really think your chassis flows well with the rest of the bot, it just looks weird with the chassis being a thin wedge and it having this tall snowplows barely connected to it. I also think you can use a weapon array for the hammer instead of extenders.
Title: Re: Natster's Custom/Ironforge Showcase
Post by: Natster-104 on August 16, 2014, 02:36:39 PM
Well I can never really get a good angle on it, some look cool, some look dumb, but heres a video:

But I will rebuild the chassis

The weapon array is a new part made for attaching weapons (http://i.imgur.com/RgSlw7a.png)

But anyway, have a fun thing

Noice. But a cleaner weapon would make it awesome

How so?

Trust me, it looks retarded when invertible

Ah, thought someone might point that out, it's for self righting, but I will fix it

Hmmm, huge dsl bars wouldn't fit, disc with teeth it is

better. I'd personally make the wheels a little wider, but besides that nitpick, it looks really neat.
Title: Re: Natster's Ironforge - Sounds like something from Lord of the rings
Post by: Naryar on September 28, 2014, 12:55:17 PM
yes it's still better

also it may not look as cool when inverted but no bot does look as good when inverted.

Trust me you'll rage less when you fight something and you get inverted by error.

^ Who cares if it looks stupid inverted, having that or a srimech will help in a lot of derpy situations.

It does have a srimech, I thought I said it earlier, derp
Title: Re: Natster's Ironforge - Sounds like something from Lord of the rings
Post by: Naryar on October 01, 2014, 10:22:23 AM
in that case it is less of a problem

but srimech on a classic HS... just make it invertible you use far less weight
