Description:

The Monitor is a medium-size quadrupedal mech. The name is a result of its reptilian appearance. I took a lot of design cues from the Iron Legions Orthrus mech (pictured above), but did not try to replicate it exactly. I wanted it to be smaller and light enough to not need pistons on the legs.


Features:
- Automated Walking Sequence
- Start/Stop and Reverse
- Turns using gyros
- MART Turret
- Lights

There is one atmospheric thruster hidden in the body to help it climb steep hills, just hold W if needed.


Comments are welcomed, enjoy!

@MostMischievous for this probly (dont 100% trust me i could be wrong) means that there isnt proper convener piping or none at all as in not really any auto resource movement

What does >Made for Creative mode< mean? Does this mean it won't work in survival?

I absolutely love this mech!
I currently use two in my mod testing world and have it equipped with my Azimuth Remastered guns and enjoy this mech very much! Thank you for making it!
The mech still works to this day! :D

For horizontal movement of the turret:
Turn off the base rotor. Put a remote control and some gyros in the turret, and you will be able to move it left and right. Toggle safety lock on the base rotor to lock it in place when not in use.

For vertical movement of the turret:
Each gun is connected to a rotor, facing opposite ways. You move the guns up and down by increasing or decreasing the rotor velocities. But in order to move them both in the same direction you have to decrease the velocity on one side and increase the velocity on the other. You can do this using a timer block. Designate one timer as "UP" and it will change the velocities on each rotor so the guns move up. Set the other timer as "DOWN". Trigger the timers to move up or down. Its also good to set rotor limits so you dont smash the guns against the chassis.

It's ability to rotate in 360 and 90 degrees, how do you prevent it from breaking?
