First Blog Post - Robocraft Bot Showcase

For my first post I will showcase some vehicles I made in the game Robocraft.

Robocraft is a creative online multiplayer game where you build your own robots and battle on teams of 7-12 against another team, or on your own against everyone else.

I've been playing the game for a while now, and I have bots that most beginners wouldn't be able to build. The oldest robot I have (I deleted a few recently) is this Mech-like build. I built this right after an update that implemented mech legs to the game.

I used this for a while, but  following a couple physics patches released by the game's developers: Freejam.

This next bot was inspired by someone else's. The base design is similar, but the rest of the design is all original. It served me well for weeks, and even got 70 sales when I put it in the CRF (community robot shop). I usually have plasma "cannons" mounted on the bottom for the team gamemodes, and the SMGs for the Free-For-All

Unfortunately now with the new weapon released recently, a mounted "flak" cannon, it isn't as useful as it used to be.

This next one was more of an experiment than anything. Along with a Christmas update a year ago, Freejam released a movement addition: Skis. Very few people use them since they are hard to control, but I managed to make a bot that is fairly stable.

I use this mostly for fun when I'm not feeling competitive, and it is really fun to use.

Now the last bot I'll be showing here is what Robocrafters would call a "functional artbot", meaning it's able to be used in battle, but it's mostly for show.

I based this Tie Fighter design off of Darth Vader's fighter in A New Hope, although the red stripe is from the Tie Fighter design in The Force Awakens.

So that's it for this post. I will be updating my blog at least once a week with posts about various games, including Robocraft, War Thunder and Space Engineers.
