made kind of a MW version.



steel 3 i think
pretty basic but I thought it had a nice look to it. I have a version with wheels and more armor which is pretty much better in every way except looks. gotta have those tracks man

I'm honestly more confused by the second one. How does it look in the test garage? I can't tell how it's supposed to sit.

the tracks are static. the old one (left) just had wheels and the chassis got hit a lot and even though it was armored it still wasn't a good situation. now its hard to even hit it. the bot flips around a lot and the spikes at the back hit the popups weapons more than you might think and help keep the back from touching the ground too.

Yeah, I found that those designs in general tend to flip around a lot, especially when the distance from the disks to the wheels are too small.

+1,000,000 points for using vertical treads. We'll get those dang popups eventually.

GTMCS bot. Nothing too groundbreaking but pretty competent and I thought it had a good look to it. It's pretty much like Morricone above but basically better (ie doesnt get stuck on its back, spinner is lower to the ground for stability). Steel 3.
The side skirts are there to make it easier to stay under the opponent. Also has sexy motor guards that dont really do anything but look good

Thanks for the consideration.  I'll be sure to do that.

trendsetter or special snowflake? you decide

fun fact: attaching wheels like this doesn't affect mobility at all, even when the bursts are fired. Volatile Partisan from BBEANS3 did the same sort of deal if I recall. keeps the wheels out of the way too.

eyyy :dance: :dance: :dance:

The legends... I thought those stories were just kid's tales! Welcome back!  :claping

Surprised the wheels work at all, considering how they're facing inwards and bend even more inwards when the bursts fire. Still, a very interesting design... Invertible, I assume?

yeah its invertible but not too great with the plow. i could change it for a dark plate but I like the high fracture.

also when I say it doesn't affect mobility i mean there is absolutely no change in control regardless of the state of the burst. they wheels can be completely perpendicular to the front but it still drives normally. it's basically like the game calculates the directions it can move based on the initial placement of the wheels and is dang determined to keep it there even if common sense dictates otherwise.

like this
cool robot.gif


other than looking kinda cool, the wheels in that position really help the turnspeed situation. sidehammers usually turn like tanks, this one is pretty good in that regard

still one of my favorite showcases. i wish more people would build ironforge (myself included), its a pretty fun meta to experiment in

thats a really clever idea, putting the wheels on the hammer arms like that. i imagine it helps a lot against gut rippers since they arent usually that wide

BOOOOM BABYY
this is my tag team entry with Thyrus. were were trying to think of team themes and were like "uhhhhhh well I guess we are the only two people on the forum that played this semi-obscure racing game from 1997? let's skin the bots like cars I guess???"
so we I did. ripped the 128x256 textures directly out of the game using a utility I had lying around and spent the afternoon maken some prety robbots. hopefully thyrus shows his or I might have to

its just a coincidence we skinned them like the cars really, we both made ours before having any theme ideas in mind. I wanted to make mine be extremely tough from the sides and back cause in tag teams you get ganged up on by enemies (and teammates). front is a heater plow and the sides are dark plows, I imagine this will hold up pretty well. has like tite 5 or pl 10 or something too.

very zippy with dualbird drive. powerful weapon. no major complaints from myself really except it sucks at self righting. but most cars cant self right anyway i guess.


pls like and subscribe :gawe:
