420th post celebration! Behold:

It has 8 10kg hammers and drives by firing the pistons on a certain side. It can also do a jump move by firing all the pistons at once.

Ah, the Picnic Attack school of starting showcases, I like your deviousness.

Alright, since BTTB V was "pick either of the first two bots", I'll throw this up here too, just in case:

Anyway, real robot:

loled at tribute
Also the real bot looks good (Not that I have any Ironforge experience what so ever.) :P

You may find yourself in problems having armour that exposed and that weak, but a solid build otherwise.

Tried my hand at a LW. Haven't tested it much.

EDIT: Having done some testing, I can safely say that it's not very good.

How is the wedge? I've always been a bit suspicious of that kind of setup.

Also maybe put the razors closer together with a weapon array? allows for more concentrated damage.

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #7 on:** August 18, 2015, 11:39:55 AM »

Wedge is garbage. Also, since I forgot to mention, titanium 10 armor. Might be a bit overkill.

Reier · « **Reply #8 on:** August 18, 2015, 12:23:42 PM »

id probably just do 2 small wedges and mess with the weapon a bit more
razor tips damage is nerfed in IF because it has no normals, maybe try picks or blades or something with higher DP.

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2015, 02:17:45 PM »

Swapped the razors for blades, and did two wedges instead of one. I had to rearrange the batteries a bit, now it's rocking 5 of the small batteries, which has less total than the previous setup. Plenty of amps to run everything, though. I also jammed two ballasts into the front; these seem to help the wedge, but also make it slower than it could be. It can beat the original version at least, so I guess it's an improvement.

you probably only need 1 ballast but it looks good

it can be OK if you use it right

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2015, 08:20:00 PM »

Alright, so I got horizontal spinner for Put Lock 2, which should be pretty good.

This is not pretty good.

don't use saws

Reier · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2015, 10:49:02 PM »

saws have a circular collision mesh, they don't really knock anything hard, you would be better off with something with teeth on it

Conraaa · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2015, 10:53:40 AM »

You could probably get away with downgrading the drive motors aswell.

But yeah, don't use saws.
