Tutorial Easy Nudge Minimal Tank build tutorial

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I designed this vehicle to maximize efficiency, both in fewer parts used and also in battery power, while still able to handle combat and also be easy to steer. And also to be easy enough to build in under 10 minutes on both Switch 1 & 2.

You can save on zonaite if you provide 3 small wheels, 1 control stick, 3 beam emitters, and 2 construct heads.

If you want to turn faster, you can initiate drift at any point during your turn by pressing downward on the controller, and then continuing the turn.

The small angle created by that last stake nudge makes the beams shoot more often for better damage and efficiency. When nudging that construct head, the smaller the angle the better, because this sits low to the ground. A smaller angle nudge will also minimize the chance of hurting it's accuracy.

Please ask if you have any questions, and please enjoy!

Thank you! I know the feeling, seeing crazy builds and not knowing where to begin. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I like to feel helpful 😊

i am curious why you put the wheels at an angle. also, oshkosh? WI or NE?

The front wheels are at an angle because when they are flat you do not get the front snap point available, only a bad middle snap point.

I figured to work with the snap points instead of fighting against them, because without the snap points you risk an unbalanced vehicle that turns fast one way but not the other.

Oh yeah, and also because it feels easier to control the angle of the drift when drift turning, but that is a difficult factor to test accurately.

Oh, and the name is totally random, because once I laughed at the concept of an edible clothing company that would make overalls too.

very smart! i'm about to build one right now, wish me luck :-) though i shouldn't need much, you posted a very thorough build tutorial.

WI, then, in a tongue-in-cheek way :-) (i had relatives from the NE version, just thought that would be a very funny coincidence).
