Overview
A step by step build guide for my tier 3 robot capable of climbing and “sticking” to walls equiped with three rail guns.
Intro and materials
[previewimg=2151291;sizeFull,floatLeft;Materials thrusters.jpg][/previewimg] For your thrusters that will give you speedThis guide will show you how to build the buggy style wall climber you can see pictured left. It is lightweight and fast enough to move easily through mountains and the boundaries of the map. This mobility allows you, the sniper, to move around out of your targets sight striking from multiple angles to confuse your enemy. In this class stealth techniques and awareness of your surroundings are essential.
Now on to building!
For your thrusters that will give you speed and allow you to “stick” to walls you will need:
-12 tier 2 thrusters
-4 tier 3 thrusters
-1 tier 5 thruster
Your Hardware and Special items will include:
-3 tier 4 rail cannons
-2 tier 3 radar jammers
-1 tier 1 radar
-1 tier 1 alignment rectifier
-pilot seat
The chassis will be made completely out of white blocks with 3 white half blocks
Chasis structure and thruster placement
NOTE: The wheels on the chassis are tier 3 steering
NOTE: notice the arrow in the picture in the garage, this is what direction to build your robot. If you build everything sideways, the pilot seat will not fit on right, because it defaults to this arrow.
To start placing your tier two thrusters, put three facing down along the front and back of your chassis.
For the second step place one tier two thruster facing down in the interior corners of your chasis
All the tier 2 thrusters facing down will create the “suction” that will help you stick to a wall when you press SHIFT
For the third step and the last of your tier 2 thrusters, we will improve on our steering by putting these 4, two facing left, two facing right on the interior of our front bumper.

Our final thruster is tier 5, and facing forward just in front of our little tower.
Weapons and special parts placement
In this next step, we place two tier 3 radar jammers on the center tower, and a tier 1 alignment rectifier under our tier 5 thruster
Now add your tier 1 radar facing back on the edge of our chasis
We now add our guns, two on our front bumper, and a single one on top of our center tower
Finally we add our pilot seat. Your new wall climber is now prepared for battle!
NOTE: you can use higher tier weapons and blocks to raise your tier, if you look below you can see a modified version I used as a medic in my platoon. You will also see i added three tier 2 thrusters, right above the three existing ones on the front, facing up. This allows you to press up against the force field, or wall map. By pressing SPACE with this modification, and a bit of practice, you can use it to get up tight corners, and climb glaciers and the map boundry.
