You're a bit late to send me those since AS has sent those bots to me yesterday.

They're great otherwise. About as beautiful as your MS paint paintings. Seriously. They're amazing.

this robot can be done well. but 2 problems arise:
1. i dont really care
2. IM WORRIED IF I MAKE ANOTHER "NOT-CRAWLER" IRONFORGE WILL EVENTUALLY BE SATURATED WITH THESE OBNOXIOUS THINGS ONCE PEOPLE START BUILDING THEM AND CRAWLERS SHOULD DIE IN AN INFERNO

anyway potential genocide out of the way this robot needs work but I think it can be done well. its basically the logical extension to mango tango, where the entire robot is covered in the weapon. mango is way better though and can actually win fights unlike its mentally handicapped sibling here. i might try something high-damaging like ice picks or whatever because saw blades are basically really bad in ironforge except for a few specific things and this thing gets de-weaponed all the friggin time and does no damage anyway WOOO
basically look to this as a warning to tampering with the genetic order a la blade runner

Crawlers usually lack wheels and instead opt for weapons on discs. However, this reduces the ability to have controlled movement, so some builders give their crawlers a pair of wheels to make up for this.
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

yeah but this thing does no damage and has its weapons fall off in 2 secs

you really only need discs for wheels if your robot is some kind of torque reaction thingy or a full crawler btw

dont
i have a feeling they can be made really good with experimentation and eventually the tournament scene on IF will be full of stupid "not-crawlers" if people keep building them
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE TO KILL THEM LIKE REPLICANTS

jk build them if you want but BE WARNED OF MY PROPHESY

honestly i havent liked a robot this much in a long time since Aneurysm Mas

so i was taking a dump and i just got this divine vision of a robot and i was like "wow" AND THEN I BUILT IT AND HERE IT IS


chapter 21 of "reier and his slobbering love affair with crushing teeth"

crafted by the mighty greek smith god hephaestus himself upon the forges of mount olympus
refined through modern CAD software and endless mathematical formulas to perfectly balance every component to maximum efficiency
BATTLE TESTED THROUGH COUNTLESS EONS OF BRUTAL COMBAT
jk i only drove it for like 4 matches
but DANG SONNY if it dont give the old heart a flutter like the olden days when i didnt have to wear adult diapers.

tite 5
friggin durable

(HATE THAT THING)

has wedges so it will beat any non-wedged robot because its ra2

i love it
<3

btw guys seriously if i can make an event out of a robot i made after i had a toilet vision surely you can make your showcase uploads more interesting too. some of them are just so dang boring. Like come on stop with the 6-bot dumps with like 1 line of text describing each. no wonder no one posts. showcases need FLAIR I SAY and itll spice it up loads i bet ya.

BYE

how about "reier that is one lazy butt ugly skin you should do something about that"
in which case i would say yes
so i did



pretty basic but gets the job done
wouldn't even clash too much with the default heater skins since they're the same gray as the crushing teeth



anyway OO OO GUYS CHECK THIS ONE OUT


reier what is this are you crazy
YES
AND THAT IS HOW I GOT THIS BADASS ROBOT



anyway it started as a MW Nuclear Load but 2 spinners were a pain and i get bored building the same robot 50 times like AS like some people SO WHAY NOT SPICAY IT UYUP

but seriously its a good robot despite how weird it is
drives pretty straight believe it or not
its basically an undercutter and is better at killing spinners and stuff than nightmare VS and wedgy bots. only has an average wedge, but the side one can come in handy sometimes. its really hard for spinners to pin down because its just so shallow and they keep getting knocked sideways by its weapon and breaking their teeth on the blades in the back. I kinda wish it was faster but what you gonna do. may at least try to jam on 1 size grippier wheels if I can, not sure where to get the weight though. don't really want to go much below tite 5 which its at now.

and then theres this which I will show when ive finalized it

quick BORING post
i really liked S_M's revenge concept he posted a while ago but I think this one is more efficient at fighting. MW pure HS are hard to make good in IF.

->



steel 5
breaks spinners and puts them in the ground WUU
EATS OFF THEIR WHEELS LIKE A CHIHUAHUA

tried it with 2 30kg hammers but it didn't have enough reach with the blade.
realistic, its this wide basically just so the blades don't go through the wheels

Those skins are pretty rad on the three recent bots.  Linking Saint Megaton.  The chassis is pretty original since it's derpy and awesome at the same time.

MORE REVENGE/REVENGE THE RESURRECTION (yes, all caps is necessary) is also quite nice.  It reminds me of the REVENGE in ReStocked.

previous post of mine removed because those robots were really boring and I don't want to clutter my showcase with just posts of crap. barely anyone posts anyways and i don't want a boring overload
anyway this one's a bit more exciting.


quack
its also yellow
like a duck

REIIIIIIIIER BUT ITS A BORING FLIPPER
NO
its not boring dont hurt its feelings.
also it will put you in the ionosphere.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PbqC7iCRH4&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=Reier#

it needs a bit more smartzone work and for some reason it hates srimeching, but wowzies look at the air time on some of those flips.
its wedge could be better too but as we all know that's basically dumb luck.

basically instead of 2 betas or whatever it's more like a clamp but it just launches stuff either super high or super forward. I've played with it for quite a while and it's really good now but that's not saying it couldn't be even better. It's also toast if anything gets under it or super flanks it but what flipper isn't. expect to see this again probably  ;)
