Here's a re-building of a crappy tank I posted in the 'Help I'm a noob thread', but I think it's much better now. This one's based on the Starcraft siege tank and this picture in particular: [url]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/11/10696/Siege_Tank_Tank_mode.jpg[/url]
It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with how it works and hopefully I'll get better at making things look pretty. WASD controls with a mouse aimed turret using gyroscope comparisons. The thing is made entirely of wire gates/chips and PHX, and swithes between tank mode with a couple of Gcombat 2pdr guns and siege mode with a 105mm Howitzer. You can adjust the pitch of the gun in siege mode with W and S as the treads are locked down for stability.

It can't aim up or down
[QUOTE=ComanduMambu;23640870]It can't aim up or down[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I tried but when the turret's supported by hydraulics or on a vertical axis etc it becomes a bit wobbly. I've no doubt it's doable but my excuse is that it can aim precisely in siege mode so an accurate tank-mode turret isn't as necessary
Use WeGame. Records good quality with low lag. Sound is a little bit off for me, but i really dont care.
what's with the chips
[QUOTE=KarbineAlt;23642516]what's with the chips[/QUOTE]
I like how it feels more real / I'm an electronics nerd / I'm an expression noob. I just started to test it with a few gates and felt comfortable with them.
I think it is a good start bro, keep working on it and you've got the right spirit to improve your building
