That isn't the plan. 123 had strict quality control over the 16 teams that went in. You can, of course, feel free to make an AI pack but unless I (or someone else) get in touch with him and officially take over further development with his permission, Ironforge itself is complete.

A lot has changed since those days. Hope you stick around and enjoy your time here. :)

The Ironforge MW limit is 200kg, so it's an underweight HW :P
LW - 125kg
MW - 200kg
HW - 400kg
SHW - 600kg

The disc seems alright. DSL discs are so much heavier for the size that I don't know if they'd work.
However

Shorter and narrower, so better armour but still very stable.

Thanks to the magic of Ironforge ballasts, my VS style doesn't need supports at LW level. Whether this actually uses more weight though due to chassis is another matter. Unskinned sorry, just testing.

The chassis is so much wider than it needs to be, surely.

I used the largest batteries I could fit to attempt to get the amps I needed for that power hungry flipper. Also as far as the support I see the dual perm and the mount coming up but I do not see the opposite side where I could see this axle support you are speaking of? Could you please explain a little bit more are you simply saying just put an free spin axle thingy up to the side away from the motor?

On that bot, I'm not - it's a DSL-S or Standard bot, not IRL, which means the realism rules are relaxed slightly (again, check the building style guide I linked.) The reason I posted that bot is to show you how I balance my Standard Vertical Spinners.
The bot I posted would never be considered IRL due to the weak/thinness of many external components and the lack of motor/axle support.

Believe me, it was, for both RIP4 and Botallica. Just kinda have to deal with it unfortunately D:

I feel like most of the IF AI are just kind of IRL joke bots or proof of concepts.

Sort of yeah. It was all kinda designed with a simple IRL approach in mind so as to not be too offputting to new players.

Hi there I am Craaig.
One thing I will say is you really gotta make clear on what kinda building style you're going for (check out this guide) as if you fancy going the IRL route it's basically necessary to build axle supports on perm motors (IRL bots don't have floating axles like my middleweight DSL-S/Standard VSs do).

To see what Badnik means by my standard/DSL-S VS, check out this one. My personal favourite and a good example of the balance supports I choose to use rather than the skirts under your weapon which may hinder your ability to hit stuff.

Also remember any spin motor (spin motors only) can be powered by a single ant battery in DSL, although it's good practice to throw an extra in too, so for your flipper, throw 2 ant batteries in and make sure the rest of the batteries make up the amps required to run the burst.

As far as I was aware, the post-RW version IS the RW S7 version.

So many? Hardly. Put it this way, when all is said and done there will be somewhere near 150 replicas of bots old and new.
Plus we're working on sorting something else out for some other bots. I really shouldn't be saying even that much.
Please, complaining about the mod gives no incentive to get it released to you.

At this stage I can't confirm we'll be including Terrorhurtz, but even if we can't, there will be a whole bunch of awesome axes.

G.K. means the supporting ones, I assume :P
Some reskinned Robot X casters would look cool there.

All my Crasp Drones just use DSL discs with large beaters, and they might not have a lot of HP but 2 on each disc as I do means the low weight gets a lot of speed up, throwing things around nicely. You can always pop light DS teeth onto the end of the beaters if you want more damage potential.

Damn I wish I saw this. Looks like it was a lot of fun.

Of 2009? I'd say it's a contender for best GTM meme if all time.

Awesome to see you here man. Hope we can convince you to stick around :)
