Tyrrell F1 Car for Robocraft

Tyrrell F1 Car

Overview

Inspired by the famous 6-wheeled F1 car of the 70s, the Tyrrell P34, I tried to recreate it as best I could, without making it too unpractical.

Requirements

To build this, you need:
-386 blocks of whatever tier (tier 6 in pic)
-10 x SMGs (tier 8 in pic)
-2 x T9-10 Wheels (steering is optional, tier 9 in pic)
-4 x T8 Wheel Steering
-4 x T3 Electroplates (2 x left, 2 x right)
-4 x T4 Electroplates (2 x left, 2 x right)
-4 x T6 Electroplates (2 x left, 2 x right)
-2 x T7-8 Thrusters (T7 in pic)
-1 x T5 or T9 Alignment Rectifier (T5 in pic)
-2 x T6 Thrusters (optional)
-2 x T7 Electroplates (1 of each side, optional)
-around 1300 pFLOPS

Reference Images

I do not have a step by step, but here are some reference images. It is as solid as it can be.

Other Notes

Other Notes:
-Due to my financial problems I am unable to use T7 cubes, so try for yourself.
-The T8 smgs fit nicely, but if you want T9s or T10s, you can make the main body wider by 2.
-The T6 thrusters on the side of the air box are there to add reversing-speed, incase a speedy reverse get away is needed. If not, they may be removed and instead the T7 plates could protect the front wheels more.

Combat Notes:
-SPEEEED!!!
-Reverse SPEEEED!!!
-Holds up well from plasma flyers, unless lucky shot into the tiny hole right above the pilot seat, which results in a 1 shot, rare occasion.
-Shooting forwards is nice, no guns are blocked, except the side mounted ones.
-Shooting upwards is nice, no guns are blocked, except the side mounted ones.
-Shooting sideways is decent, guns are easily blocked, especially the ones on the opposite side of the target.
-6-wheel steering is easy to roll, but somehow never flips, even when flipped on to the side, it rolls it self back, unless vehicle is ruined, in which case, hope you place the rectifier.
-Shooting behind is nearly impossible, reversing and shooting is a better option.
-Minimal plates at front means not so bullet proof.
-Main beam is 1 block wide, not so good for wheels.
-Wheels unprotected, also not good for wheels.

Hoped this helped, enjoy!
