Gunrider battlebot [UESC contest 47]

A heavy remote controlled battlebot to destroy everything in the ring and part of the ring too.


Features:

All static weaponry is connected to multiple sensor observing their firing sector up to 50 meters distance. Any hostile ship that enters the sensor range will be automatically fired upon without need for controller input. By default sensors are set to detect hostile small ships, not different constructs or characters.

The bot carries 6 small mines which can be dropped in sequence through a press of a button. Mines can be restored through the use of bot's self repair projection. Mines are detonated with enamy small ship detecting sensors and have 2 seconds safety timer before arming the warhead after dropping to protect against accidental damage from friendly mines.

Rear rockets are deactivated by default to avoid impacting undropped mines. This safety is automatically removed and rockets activated when last mine is dropped.

Turrets are set to 200meters and off state by default to better suit arena fights and not begin shooting prematurely. Remember to activate them whent the fight begins.

The bot has flipping system in case it tips over. This consists of two sets o separately controlled pistons on each side. A single use of them is not sufficient to flip the bot's weight but undamaged bot has been tested to be able to return upright through repeating use of them. (alternatively it can stand upside down with enough space for turrets to operate.



Things to remember:

The agility is somewhat limited due to tanky design and turns succeed best with some initial speed.

Faction settings are important for most weapons systems.

Sensor based firing systems have limited range of 50meters even if the weapon would be effective at much longer range. Weapons can be activated manually from the toolbar.

Different functions are include on multiple toolbars.
