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?

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

Half of 250 is 125, dude.

oosp

i forget those things exist

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

its a prototype, planned changes:

-Move plow further back into the body
- Add wheel guards
- wider wheels?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2014, 07:54:20 AM »

Wider wheels maybe?

Hmm, guess so

This and/or make the wheels closer to the chassis; the axle sticking out looks funny; better armour/wheelguards perhaps?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #12 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:

Lemonism · « **Reply #15 on:** August 16, 2014, 09:10:18 AM »

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

Natster-104 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2014, 02:25:54 PM »

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.

090901 · « **Reply #19 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.
