TBD's Ironforge Shenanigans
« on: August 27, 2014, 06:18:26 AM »
Heard this was the flavor of the month for bot building, so built some robots.


LW, copied someone's blade wedges to see how it'd work (forgot who it was though)


I believe this is a SHW. Not much in the way of combat ability but eh, I like it.

I like the second bot a lot. Can I see another angle?

Also, I believe it was MassimoV who used blade wedges like that.

Like the second one, is the top the turret?

Yeah, top part's a turret on the second bot.

Have another angle on it, as well as a crappy LW tank.





This one was about a 5 minute build, so yeah.

EDIT: Oh yeah, have a work in progress tank too.



Six turrets is uncontrollable like woah, but it's still awesome anyway. Trying to think of ideas for what to fill the giant gap in the back with (the tank's facing away from the camera)
also note: this thing weighs 739kg atm, probably gonna have to grab an antiballast for further work on it.

Here, have another tank. This one's a MW.



It also has FISTING POWER.

I probably should have named this thread "TBD's Tank Factory" or something.



This one's a HW, don't really like how it turned out but eh. Meant to be more of a regular bot than the cheatbot guntanks.




oh god oh god what the hell is this get it awaaaay
But anyway, this one was an experiment to see if a) a halftrack design could work and b) if ditching the tank turret for more weaponry and a srimech was a good idea.

Another day, another tank.



Cruiserweight, I personally like how the turret turned out (it can aim up and down now!) but the rest is pretty eh.

Probably Robocraft influences, hehe. I like the quad tracked tanks the most. They have an interesting sci-fi look

Robocraft influences, you say?


how many turrets can TBD squeeze on one vehicle? more at 11

I can't possibly see where you're getting that from.

Antweight tank go!


This one isn't that effective because well, trying to cram a tank into the antweight class. So yeah.


Have a turreted flipper tank with a crappy chassis design too.

(it's hw btw)

That's totally not Robocraft looking at all, lol

I like the turreted flipper concept. Is it effective? It looks tricky to control.

Yeah, the turreted flipper is actually quite effective, if a little unstable. Not the greatest wedges, although with the turret it can kinda-sorta maneuver its wedge around the other guy's wedge.

Also, here's the reason I make exclusively tanks.



To say it works poorly would be an understatement.

Does this mean the IRL AIs are actually beating standard bots?

I guess I got the balance right then.

New robot.



It is not in any way combat effective and it's a complete mess, but it has treads, so it has that going for it, which is nice.
