Ciao,
my style is going to be usually IRL or the robots are going to look IRL.
Here's two robots I made:
Incandescent
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68509s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54672s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67461s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29227s4.png)
Is actually 4wd, the two front wheels are not powered, but you can think of them chain linked to the other.
I love 6wd robots! So much I built one IRL ;).
The actual chassis is the small rectangle on the middle, and then the structure is built around it.
UpperCut
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4748s5.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71630s6.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62211s7.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5474s8.png)
It gyro dances a lot!
Here too the structure is built around the "electronics box" as I like to call it.
The perm is half inside and half outside because I used a linear actuator, I moved it with the controls, attached the perm and retracted the actuator.
The actuator isn't supposed to move, there aren't any air tanks, so it's only a structural part.
It can self right if you spin the disk...down.
-
that is pretty damn well built AND cool looking for a newbie. +1
-
These look cool, nice work. I like your structural work especially.
Also kudos for working out a way to have the perm half-inside the bot that's botlab legal and not bot file editing like I know I'd do :P
-
As the others have said, these look very cool - I'm already a big fan of your style. The VS especially is great - it feels very real to me.
-
Your off to a really good start. I like that, and your bots.
-
That's a very promising start, especially with the perm work.
Keep it up. :thumbup

I'm blown away at how awesome the first one is!!
-
Odd sense of Déjà vu here :P
I see you did your homework lurking around the forum. It's not that common to find such good robots right at the start
I like mainly Incandescent for it's clean compact look.
Uppercut's extender placement looks a bit too disorganized for me but as a perfectionist I may be a bit too harsh on appearances :smile:
-
Please put these on the bot exchange.
-
These bots are well built, i look forward to seeing more from you.
Also are you Tashic on rw101 and fra? EDIT: just seen your post in the new users section, answers my question lol
-
Thanks for the compliments!
Avalance: the previous two robots are in the bot exchange :smile:.
Dominating: the messiness of UpperCut is because when I see a very exposed component, I want to protect it!
Craaig: I do the trick because I prefer doing all the building in the bot lab.
Playzooki: yes, and I'm in the FRA forum too. If you look at my IRL robots you will understand how much I love the storm 2 shape, since almost every robot has the front and sides angled.
Now for two robots inspired by other robots (guess which):
ElectricShock:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78126s5.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2248s6.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91487s7.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61015s8.png)
Armour: steel 5mm
Done again with the actuator trick, the last photo shows the position of the motor with the actuator extended.
LockReload:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44430s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62413s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69533s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73437s4.png)
Armour: steel 10mm
The two parts of the weapon can move indipendently.
Now one question: is the actuator trick allowed in the IRL metagame, if the actuator does not move and anything attached to it doesn't clip through the other electrical components?
Because someone IRL could get something shaped like a tube and cut a slot shaped like the motor to mount the motor to the chassis of the robot.
-
Both robots are beautifully constructed. The use of those blades as wheelguards on LockReload is fantastic. What's the component on the back of it?
-
G.K. those are 2 dsl bars
-
Ah. On closer inspection of course they are, not sure how I was unsure... :P
-
Very cool stuff here.
I would accept static stacking of structural components legit for IRL style. So long as the actuator isn't wired to move then that's fine.
-
Saw in some showcases, in the dsl category, people made gost raptor inspired robots, so I just made a replica of it:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24089s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43048s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5527s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32334s4.png)
There are some things that I don't like, like the blade being too far on the back, and the front armour.
But the blade does not break in half the moment it touches something! :dumb)
-
Already my favourite IF builder. I really hope you stick around here, we need more users like you.
-
sex on wheels
-
Brilliance in a machine, on all of your robots so far!
-
Very jealous of your ability.
Have you checked out the tournament section? There's a couple of Ironforge ones in signups atm.
-
This guy's better than me after six posts. I quit.
-
TBH I hate how i cant make anything that looks good after approximately 6 or so years of being here, and this guy turns up and does within his first WEEK.
Its not much of a challenge to out do me (Quotes out of context GO GO GO) but seriously man!?
-
I think you could hone your skills and do pretty well.
-
Keep it up, m8
You're successfully rustling old members' jimmies.
-
Excellent stuff here man. Keep it up.

-
Well, it's not like I started playing the moment I registered here! I have been building for years too!
Now for a MW:
WhackABot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60766s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49889s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63756s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46259s4.png)
2 ballasts.
Not very effective bot in combat, if the AI drives it anyway.
-
Once again, this is really well constructed. I'm a big fan of your extender supports.
-
Ahem...
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg
-
One of the top IRL Ironforge builders by far already. So so good.
-
Because of the number of IF tournaments, I've been trying some MW:
Grinder:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8014s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21211s2.png)
FlippingHigh:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89762s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5404s4.png)
Thoughts? I tried to be a bit more DSL-standard this time.
-
diggin the drum
how do the wedges work? In my experience wedges are hard to do effectively in IF, especially MW. Stuff's too bouncy. they any good?
-
They can go under most things, but they work best if the back is supported, like the flipper, and the spikes on the skirts are a bit raised.
-
Do all the beaters spin around or just some of them?
-
Really good work here.
-
drum is dope
-
For the Ironforge Stock AI:
Fire Emergency:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93958s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30383s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1611s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2990s4.png)
If RedAce likes it, I will send him the .bot file.
-
If RedAce likes it, I will send him the .bot file.
I don't like it. I really LOVE it. [/sevenyearoldself]
Go ahead and send it.
-
I'd remove the knives under the flipper and just put on wedges there on skirt hinges.
-
Tried what 090901 suggested and it does better than the previous version:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92284s1.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9952s2.png)
I also updated the bot in the BotExchange.
-
honestly i know the side swords are there for coolness but i think it will be cool enough without them.
don't see a way to use the weight though. does it have excess batteries ? maybe a third wedge on a skirt hinge in the middle ?
-
Another IF stock AI bot:
HexNut:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97199s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51246s2.png)
I decided for a FBS, because of the shape.
Might update the skin.
EDIT: Higher res skin:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79246s3.png)
-
Now that is nicely done. Is it a MW?
-
That's some sloppy extender work. You know the pack is standard DSL and not IRL-style right?
What kind of motor is that?
-
Updated HexNut and filled the gaps in the extenders:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38560s1.png)
And yes, I know it's a standard AI Pack, but I thought that a hexagonal shell resembled better the stock robot.
-
you can have a hexagonal shell but you dont need all those extenders behind the hammers
-
I'd be tempted to replace all those horizontal ones behind hammers with a single vertical extender coming from the top horizontal thing. You'd probably get enough weight saved to upgrade to dark extenders.
-
Is it DSL-standard enough now :rage
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37037s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93002s2.png)
-
The second build looked much cooler and i fail to see why you guys don't want a shell spinner like that
-
Yeah, go back to the full shell. Looks way cooler.
-
The second build looked much cooler and i fail to see why you guys don't want a shell spinner like that
because the bot isnt IRL????
newest one looks pretty good.
-
Still looks cool but will be way more effective. Of course the other one looks cooler, it's IRL :P
-
I think it's pretty good right now. Is the top bar attached to the weapon shell or a separate anchor?
-
It is attached to a skirt hinge in the chassis, and then an extender inside to put it at the sameposition as the motor axle.
Is it a problem for standard building?
If it was attached to the shell it would be useless at self righting, because the chassis would spin and the shell would not.
-
This is the context:
On a facebook group, after jokes where made about the direction of spin of bars spinners, Charles Guan (team JACD) decided to make a beetle version of counter revolution, but with the disks slanted 45°, named Stance Stance Revolution.
This is the version that I made in IF:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69689s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14312s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68647s3.png)
Yes the name is lazy.
Surprisingly stable, except when the disks hit the ground after being flipped.
-
Except of course the real version won't have wheels :P
-
I love you so much right now.
-
and it's even more disturbing in
person RA2.

I got crusher for pot luck 2, and this is what I made for now:
DeadlySwan:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94897s1.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97914s2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8581s3.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45252s4.png)
Steel 10.
The power of the piston and the fire rate are very good, but it's pretty fragile, against bar spinners it's useless.
It can self right, but it does that by firing the weapon and flying around until it's level.

jaydee, that's not five years old yet. Patience my friend. That will come soon. :P[/lamejoke]

Anyway, that's a pretty good idea of how crusher can be done. Not being able to self-right may be a huge weakness. Yeah, the issue might be a rare occurrence, but it's good otherwise.
-
It does self right, it's just not the most efficent way.

Winning BOTM splash :dance::
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35753splash.png)
The name and the illuminated floor are actually renderings of 3d models that I made. But nothing too advanced.
-
These bots are alright I guess.
Welcome to GTM...
-
These bots are alright I guess.
Welcome to GTM...
This guy.
Really great bot man, good to see a new winner.
-
A newbie winner? Holy sh**. I will gladly give you my soul if you wish.
-
These bots are alright I guess.
Welcome to GTM...
alright.....ALRIGHT?!?!?
lol jk
-
I'm so edgy I offended myself.
Great bots though, I might give ironforge a go again.
But here's a warning, watch out for the critics!
