These tanks look great, man, the robocraft bot too. Nice work.

So I tried to make a bot that would rapidly circle around other bots, pounding away with hammer turrets.

Key word - tried.


(cruiserweight - 297kg)

The turrets are way too small, so instead of smashing down, the hammers attack via havok explosions. It could probably do better with just one bigger turret, but I wanted multi-target capability.


On another note, here was my first concept for last month's BoTM, called "Communist Manifesto". I think you guys can probably see why I went with Hammerfury instead.

First one looks really cool, regardless of whether it actually works or not.
Communist Manifesto isn't that bad, but I agree Hammerfury is so much cooler.

About that super-fast flanking hammer... It could be done, I believe but would be difficult both to build and especially AI

I think you would need only one strong hammer, 4WD and decent armor. AI will be a bitch, however.

Multiple turrets I think it would be pointless. Because you need something small, armored, and fast to flank well...

Pot Luck 2 has been showing me that I'm no good with shell spinners.



Here's the first attempt. It gets smashed by pretty much everything of its weight class in the default AI packs, so it probably won't be entered in this state.
I've also found it's really difficult to use tracks on a shell spinner without putting in a lot of unnecessary space, which makes me meh.

I will say that this tournament isn't IRL. So if those extenders are just for show then it's a bit wasted.

"it's been over four years since a post has been made in this, are you sure you want to reply to this" buzz off I do whatever I please.


As you can guess, things are looking pretty rusty. But it's got a skin that isn't just made in the game, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.


As it only has one motor for its flipper it's not so much a flipper as it is a lifter and it's not particularly wedgy, but the armour plates make it reasonably durable. The wheely-bar on the back has some spikes so it can get some damage in on a missed charge.


It's got treads too. Neat.
