You need:
To build this awesome looking Medi-Copter you need:
  • A total CPU of 880 pFlops
  • 1 right and 1 left T7 Electroplate
  • 1 right and 1 left T9 Electroplate
  • 5 T8 Hoverblades (for old design)
  • 2 T8 Thrusters (for old design, for new design you need 2 T4 Thrusters instead)
  • 2 T4 Thrusters (optional)
  • 2 T2 Thrusters (optional)
  • 4 T8 Aerofoils (for old design)
  • 3 T6 Rudders (for old design)
  • 2 T5 Skis (if not available for you, use T1 Heavy cubes to create the same shape, not needed at all)
  • Around 127 building blocks (T8 used in this guide, T9 should also work)

Note that all components (besides electroplates!) can be downgraded by one Tier!

If you want to use the rotorblades (what I don't recommend) you need:
  • 1 T8 Rotor Blade
  • 1 T6 Rotor Blade
  • 2 T4 Thrusters (instead of 2 T8 Thrusters)
  • Some more building blocks
Building the body
!IMPORTANT! All things you build on the left side get mirrored on the left too!

For the first step you gonna build the shape of the helicopter. It is 24 blocks long in total.

Next you gonna add the seat protection blocks to the shape.

Now add the T7 electroplates.

Add some more blocks for protection and later added components.

Finish the body with the 2 T9 electroplates.

Now your model should look like this.
Adding the movement parts
For the next step, you gonna add your hoverblades.


Next add the thrusters as shown on the screenshots. Then you may add your skis at the bottom.

After that add your rudders and aerofoils. Those will make you able to glide through valleys and land soft on terrain.
Adding weapons/equipment
Now you may add the Healer guns.

To finalize it add some equipment, like a radar jammer. I used a T9 one for this, but you can use whatever you want.
Fight!/Defend!
You are ready to battle now! This helicopter offers you a whole load of movement options. Glide over valleys, get on top (edge) of the map, jump off cliffs and much more! Just test them in Practise mode.
One thing you should also keep in mind is that this is not a rusher medic! Stay behind your teammates and away from enemies if possible and watch the railguns!
How to add upcoming Rotor Blades (OUT NOW)
Now that I played around with those new rotor blades, I came to my final design for this helicopter.
And the result is(!)...


pretty disappointing.

In my opinion, the helicopter is even harder to controll with the new Rotor Blades than before with Aerofoils.
If you still want to update your robot, follow these easy steps:

You need 1 T6 and 1 T8 Rotor Blade for this design. Also you will change the 2 T8 thrusters to 2 T4 ones.

1. Some body changings


First of all you want to get rid of the Aerofoils and Rudders, you won't need them anymore (Rest In Peperoni :/). Then you move the 2 T2 thrusters from the top to the front. Up there they only cause turbulences.



Now you will fill up the space that the other T8 thrusters took in.
Then add the 2 T4 thrusters in the almost same location as the T8 ones.

2. The "special" part



Now comes the "special" part.
Place the T8 Rotor Blade on the center axis of the helicopter 2 blocks behind the Pilot Seat.
Then you place the T6 Rotor Blade on the last cube of the center axis.
NOTE THAT IT HAS BEEN SHORTENED A LOT!
After this you can add the 2 T4 thrusters you had for moving backwards at the T8 Rotor Blade.

Now you can put your Medi-Guns back on and go helping your teammates (or at least try to reach them without getting turbulences, practise a bit before battle).

1 thing that you might change about the positioning of the rear blade is putting it left/right instead of straight up. It'll give better turning and also provide stability.

Im loving the new heli blades, but we are all entitled to our opinions. Try making a origional design with them and see how they feel for you then.
