Description

I noticd that HecksFromAluens's Car is exceptionally narrow and long. The width between the mounting surface of wheels is only 3 instead of 5 on most of the cars. There are at least 2 advantagesof it that I can tell + Aromrs can be placed outside of the wheels, enhancing diagonal protection. + Better wheelie resistance. Because longer chasis gives COM a longer lever arm against rear wheels' starting torque. So I tried build one. Due to the CPU-saving width, I dare using 12 wheels again, but am much cautious on CPU budget this time: It has a skinny rear with exposed wheels. Looks hammerhead-ish considering the front is pretty well armored. There are 6 rows of guns in [RS71](https://robocraftgarage.net/lists/15) arrangement instead of 5 on usual robots and the last row has only 1 gun, to fit the slender chassis. The question is how to place the seat. The 3-blocks-spacing wheels and their mounting threads have already squished the space on the same level to only 1 block wide, which is not reasonable to fit in a seat. The solution is whether placing the seat 1 block higher or placing a section of the wheels 2 blocks wider. I chosed the latter one for better seat survivability. There is also a interesting utilize of a glitched building hitbox of T10 wheel: threads of wedges are directly through the wheel hub of the third pair of wheels. BTW, there is a T1 e-plate on the end of the very front seat mounting thread, acting as damage sink to protect the seat. --- **References** + [Racer-X, HecksFromAluens](https://discord.com/channels/592554105424183326/921918729137315850/1515672062931501126), narrow wheel layout. I didn't found the post about the car that HecksFromAluens is using in battles but his semi-artbot car. + [Amvery's Car](https://discord.com/channels/592554105424183326/921918729137315850/1459707731282886853), gun mounting, damage absorb mesh, and interior structure diagramming style + [Mori, DestroyThing](https://discord.com/channels/592554105424183326/921918729137315850/1443641086492016690), T-8 e-plate layout
