FROM THE PRIMORDIAL SWELLS OF STOCK
TO THE HOSTILE AND FLAIL-INFESTED DSL PERIOD
IT HAD REACHED ITS FINAL FORM UNDER IRONFORGE
and still no one gave a crap about it because it kinda sucks tbh

THE MIGHTY

CAR STEERING

but all dat bout 2 chenge
now is da newest fad in irenforg gaming i give you



steel 10  :dance:

so the IDEA is that since rammers miss a friggin ton it seems because they oversteer or understeer, that the car steering will help to stay on target. It actually works okay, it needs more work yeah, but the results are promising. I think an AI will be better with it than I am though. the car steering part actually has decent power in and of itself, which helps the speed.

another possibility is ditch the car steering and use 2wd/4wd with a wheel perpendicular on the back to turn gently, but that seems like it would hurt the speed a bit.

the actual design of the robot really isn't that important and can basically work with any number of setups. I still think a wide ramming rack is probably a good idea, but it's pretty much just preference.

HOPPIN THREAD RIGHT
must be all the activity in the "whine about the playground thread"

its ok i have more robots of questionable quality

ok so popups are wicked annoying and have no real counters (except sns which counter everything)
and ironforge bots flip all over the place so it's a pain to make a stable fast robot
SO I WAS LIKE SCREW BOTH lets make a robot that everybody hates.

thus


it's """not""" a crawler ok the weapons don't touch the ground ;)
alu 10

it takes advantage of what makes Beer Goggles so friggin annoying.
1. it never spends more than 5 second per match with its wheels on the ground.
2. big ass spinny weapon.

therefore it treads the fine line between "wow reier that robot is so cool here's a million dollars for my gratitude" and "wow reier i will kill you with indiscriminate application of nuclear fire for making this robot"

to be completely honest there aren't many popups in the pack, so I can't really test it to its fullest.
except the obligatory doofus montage


basically in case you haven't figured it out it is supposed to ride up on top of things and just grind like the dickens. Most popups don't have many weapons, so the idea is that it should knock off the weapons or the armor relatively quickly leaving its opponent defenseless. Obviously a robot is never finished and I'll be tweaking this thing a ton but initial results look promising. It's also extremely hard to land a good hit on due to its instability and even if you do it's got tons of armor.
aka "its super annoying to fight against"  :beer:

If I changed it, I'd try to make it absolutely as durable as possible. I might switch the ninjas for something else but I don't know what yet. PROBABLY CRUSHING TEETH or more likely something 2-sided so it can spin the weapon both ways

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

they actually spin too and help climb on or off stuff if they need to so it never really gets high-centered

if the weapons don't touch the ground it's not a half-crawler

though if it still spends it's time in spikeball mode it's still gay af

its doesnt really spikeball, i was exaggerating a bit, but it is supposed to be difficult to hit and isn't the most stable thing. A lot of it depends on which way the weapon is spinning.



it's pretty difficult to drive (but as if i need to), I need to make it move obvious when its upside down in the paint job or something, i always lose track

123 told everyone building for his mod to make the bots IRL. As a result, TW as a popup is kind of ass.

I wonder if he would let me update the AI on some of my bots. TW doesn't even self-right, and Sergeant along with Suppressor are spelt wrong.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

yeah it was just the closest thing to a popup i could find in the pack
NOT THAT IM COMPLAINING


tangy time


tite 5
you could probably call it irl and its actually really solid. pretty durable n stable and throws stuff around nice. 10 kg op teeth
possibility for ironfight whatever craiigs thing



outwedges the few things with wedges in the pack and the sloped front diverts a lot of enemy blows. I haven't had it die yet in the times i fought to get those screens. haven't even had the ztek knocked off yet but i bet a nasty HS could amputate it and after that its all over.

it does however have a hard time righting itself if it flips over. I could probably fix it by moving the spinner back a bit but it might make the wedge suck and mess some other stuff up so i'm leaving it as is for now. it's really stable at the moment.

UNLIKE THIS THING


its ok. but for some reason its soooooo unstable. like mango tango wasn't the most stable thing ever but this thing flies around like an astronaut on speed even with just one ztek. idanno

Not sure if you should be attaching all of your weapons and your stabilizers to one spin motor like that. A good hit or two to the center weapons and it's done for.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.

yeah the original one had 2 motors but it gyroed even more than this thing
i'd put the disks separate from the weapon but it really needs them to spin too so idk

edit: it DOES have a separation between the inner and outer weapons though. its a quad ztek that I axle loaded stuff on so if the inner weapons go the outer ones won't necessarily die too and vice versa.

thanks for the feedback guioze
